What a Recent Client Said
“We have used Animal Expert Witness Service recently, at the suggestion of a barrister we work with. The range of experts on their panel is extensive. We got one of Australia's leading racehorse trainers to give us a balanced verbal opinion then write a report after viewing race footage. Animal Expert Witness Service were there in the background liaising with their expert, making sure the details were attended to and we got the report within our deadlines. We would use them again if we needed an expert in an animal related matter.”
