Testimonials
“I have referred many cases to Unisearch to obtain an expert opinion on various scientific, building and engineering disputes. I have always found the service level to be impressive. The main value associated with the Unisearch experience is the efficient and timely identification, authentication and selection of a suitable expert and the ongoing ease with which the Unisearch administration team members facilitate the arrangements under which work then proceeds with the chosen expert.”
Roger Walter - Partner, TurksLegal
"I have used Unisearch for over 20 years. They have always been proactive and supportive. They identify suitable experts, and their systems and staff make the process of engaging an expert simple and efficient. They take the time to build relationships and understand what we do. They are who I always call first. I commend them."
Brian Moroney - Partner, Moray and Agnew Lawyers
“It has been my pleasure to work with Unisearch’s very friendly and helpful staff for more than two decades. Over this time, I have been impressed with the organisation’s continued focus on the provision of expert opinion advice that is well reasoned, independent and impartial. Managerially, my experience is that Unisearch operates to a high professional and ethical standard.”
Adjunct Professor Jonathan O’Brien - Expert in Civil & Structural Engineering
"In many cases, the challenge to being an expert witness is the requirement to be an expert in all of the associated aspects of client relationships. In my experience, Unisearch manages all of these other issues, including invoicing and payment, effectively, expertly, and behind the scenes. This lets me get on with the work required and in the field where my expertise adds value."
