I am an experienced expert witness in the fields ofelectrical accidents, shock, electrocution, fire,industrial accidents, product liability, patent infringement and validity.
As an expert witness I have extensive experience in explaining technical matters to a lay audience. I have no stage fright and I am comfortable speaking to an audience, either deposition attorney or jury. I have had over 70 cases, including depositions and court appearances.
Although I "calls 'em as I sees 'em" with respect to the content of my opinions, I strictly follow the instructions of my clients. My opinions have won million dollar cases.
I am an electrical, electro-mechanical, and mechanical consulting engineer with many years of experience in the invention, design, and sales of electro-mechanical and mechanical devices.

Phone me, Lawrence Kamm, 619-224-3494, to discuss your case. If you then send me copies of your evidence I will phone you my preliminary opinion. No charge.
