Forensic toxicology expert witness

Independent scientific analysis when toxicology evidence matters.

Drug and alcohol evidence can appear definitive while leaving critical scientific questions unresolved. Forensic-toxicology analysis may address specimen integrity, analytical methodology, pharmacology, claimed impairment, measurement uncertainty, laboratory limitations, and whether the stated conclusion follows from the available data.
