Expert Consulting Solutions for You

MSD Engineering provides structural forensic engineering investigations and expert witness testimony in Sarasota and surrounding areas in Florida. Our team has been providing high-quality engineering solutions for the past 10 years. Established in 2014.

As a forensic engineering expert my primary goal is to accurately determine the cause and origin of failures and to help resolve claims efficiently.  In addition, I provide construction defect expert engineering solutions with clarity and credibility, ideally keeping your file out of court. However, when litigation is necessary, I bring proven courtroom experience, having been deposed or testified 11 times in the last four years.

At MSD Engineering, I personally manage each case to ensure scientifically sound evaluations and timely delivery of litigation-ready reports. Insurance Companies, Defense and Plaintiff Lawyers, and Homeowners trust my independent and unbiased approach, receiving the integrity and attention that only direct expert involvement can provide.
