More about Katie’s expert witness experience:

When Katie acts as an expert witness, she does what it takes, once spending nearly 10 days in 110+ degree Texas heat on a case.  Sweating it out with counsel in rooms with failed air conditioners, she culled through every document and asked the attorneys for more paperwork necessary to ensure every facet had been reviewed.  It is this commitment to thorough painstaking analysis that clients rely upon Katie to be of extraordinary benefit in legal matters, no matter how complex.

With a CV of 15+ pages full of publications, presentations, and consultations, Ms. Koestner brings decades of experience to the cases on which she works. Her thousands of public speaking engagements and media interviews make her confident and comfortable on the stand and in depositions on technical terms, professional opinions, best practices, and definitions. Her skillful ear and eye are invaluable when she is asked to observe all the testimony given during a trial.  Please contact Ms. Koestner directly and personally to discuss any matter by completing the Contact Form.
