We also prepare Technical Briefs, Expert Reports, and Rebuttal Reports, and provide expert opinion, rebuttal opinion, expert witness testimony, and testimony as a witness of fact for mediation and litigation. In addition, we recover costs for private parties for environmental investigation and cleanup, and develop allocation programs for sites with multiple Potentially Responsible Parties.
