Meet Expert Witness
Mark Meshulam

“When I’m involved in a dispute as an expert witness, I find the assignment challenging and stimulating. The issues can be multi-dimensional, requiring analytical thinking that starts with the issue at hand and expands to encompass the greater picture, the causes, the participants, and the environment which gave rise to the dispute. As an expert witness, I focus on supporting the efforts of the attorney, where the facts of the case are embedded in the technologies of the construction trades.”

Great Communication Provides
Clarity & Supports Your Case

Building envelopes represent a highly specialized and complex field. All the technical details that relate to façade and window failures or injuries matter when determining what happened. However, we pride ourselves on making our communication easy to understand whether that’s reports, action plans, construction manuals, or expert testimony.

Façade Consultants uses plain language with minimal engineering jargon, plenty of real-life examples, and well-designed graphics to get the point across. Legal teams, judges, and juries all appreciate this straight talk.
