Episode 7 – How Expert Witnesses Get Hired: Reputation, Trust, and Referrals

In this episode of The Expert Witness Playbook, Chris Woodruff and Dr Brian Woodruff discuss how expert witnesses build lasting careers through reputation rather than aggressive promotion.

The conversation focuses on why reliability, clarity, and professionalism matter more than visibility alone. The hosts explain how attorneys assess experts based on communication, written work, responsiveness, and fairness under pressure. They also explore why early progress can feel slow and how consistent performance leads to referrals over time.

This episode reinforces a key idea: every case is an opportunity to earn trust, not just with the hiring attorney but with everyone watching.
