Expert Witness

Understanding the technical causes behind construction-related damages, boundary disputes, and land development issues can be complex and challenging. At EPOCH Projects, Inc., our Expert Witnesses are licensed Professional Civil Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors serving Los Angeles County, Ventura County, and surrounding areas throughout Southern California. Our team brings decades of real-world expertise in land surveying, civil engineering, and construction matters.

Our experts specialize in site grading and drainage, hydrology, water, sewer, and storm drain design, ADA compliance surveys, accident site mapping, forensic land surveying, and property boundary analysis. With this deep technical knowledge, we translate intricate issues—such as those leading to construction defects or personal injury incidents—into clear, authoritative explanations that stand up to scrutiny.

EPOCH has a proven track record supporting private entities, governmental agencies, insurance carriers, and law firms by preparing precise boundary surveys, topographic surveys, ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys, and forensic maps tailored for litigation. Our expert witness services include case consultation, deposition testimony, trial testimony, accident mapping, forensic surveying, and participation in settlement conferences, arbitration, and mediation proceedings.

Our services are particularly valuable for cases involving boundary line disputes, easement encroachments, property line determinations, trip-and-fall incidents due to sidewalk and premises conditions, construction defect claims, view obstruction disputes, landslide and flood mapping, fire damage assessments, and other surveying and mapping issues. We also offer detailed exhibit preparation and expert declarations to support legal proceedings and strengthen our clients’ positions in court.
