FORENSIC AND EXPERT SERVICES
EXPERT WITNESS AND LEGAL SUPPORT
Builders, developers and insurance companies come to SFB for
our expert witness and legal consulting. We are knowledgeable of the
legal and regulatory landscape in California and, if necessary, experienced
and professional in courtroom presentation. Our company focus on communication
has given us considerable experience translating complicated engineering
jargon into language appropriate for understanding by a layperson.
Because we continue to be involved in engineering issues across the
West, we are current in the legal issues facing our industry.

Legal Support section of SFB's Statement of Qualifications.
FORENSIC ANALYSIS
We perform geotechnical and geological forensic analyses for numerous
clients on completed projects throughout California and the West.
Our expertise is in groundwater, seepage, drainage, ground settlement,
landslides and other slope movements, and foundation, slab-on-grade
and pavement distress. Typically, we review plans and specifications,
perform unpublished and published literature review, complete analysis
of site geomorphology using stereoscopic, aerial photographs, geologic
and geotechnical mapping, and computer aided analyses for subsurface
explorations. Our forensic analysis has allowed us to develop an
expertise in establishing loss prevention practices for our clients-practices
incorporated in all our design work and construction activities.
