An attorney looking for an expert witness usually has a deadline, a short list of names and a few minutes per name. They open your website to answer three questions: are you qualified for this exact issue, have you testified before, and how do they retain you. If your site makes them dig for any of those, they move to the next name on the list.
I build WordPress websites for expert witnesses and litigation consulting firms in the United States. I’ve built more than a dozen of them, for dram shop and liquor liability experts, premises and security liability experts, construction experts, and an animal scientist who testifies in equine cases. They’re designed for one reader: the attorney deciding whether to call you.
Expert witness websites I’ve built
- Expert Witness Team: a nationwide hub for a team of dram shop, security, construction and premises liability specialists, with case-study rows, expert profile cards and an appointment form.
- Paul Gaston Consulting (Chicago): a construction expert witness with 30+ years of experience, separate pages for construction, renovation and engineering testimony, and a certification grid from OSHA to scaffolds.
- Equine Expert: a Ph.D. animal scientist’s site built around one line, credible testimony, with attorney reviews and a schedule-a-call form.
- Liquor Liability: a services catalogue where a lawyer can match a case to a specialty like forensic BAC interpretation and see the engagement models before calling.
- Bar Expert Witness: a dram shop consulting firm with an intake form that asks for case city and state and lets counsel upload the complaint.
- Safe Harbor Texas: Texas dram shop defense, with six service explainers and a consultation-to-trial process.
- Ryan Dahlstrom: a personal expert site that reads like a citable CV, with a downloadable CV and a media section for reporters.
- Plus Premise Liability, Premises Liability Expert, Security Liability, Liquor Liability Expert, Construction Expert Witness and Liability Experts.
What an expert witness website needs
Credentials an attorney can verify in seconds
Years in the field, licenses and certifications, cases handled, and the courts or states you’ve testified in, all on the first screen and backed up on an about page. A downloadable CV is one of the most useful things you can put on the site, because it’s exactly what counsel needs to send to their team.
One page per area of expertise
Attorneys search for the issue, not your name: “dram shop expert witness”, “premises liability expert”, “construction defect expert witness”. A dedicated page for each specialty, written in the language of the case, is how you show up for those searches and how a lawyer confirms you fit their matter.
A retention path that respects their time
A consultation or case-review form that asks the right questions: case type, city and state of the complaint, deadline, and an upload field for the complaint or key documents. Add your fee structure or engagement models if you’re comfortable sharing them, because that removes the first back-and-forth email.
Proof from the legal side
Attorney testimonials, outcomes you’re allowed to mention, articles, speaking and media appearances. A blog with plain-English posts on your specialty builds authority with both attorneys and Google over time.
Several brands, one expert team
Many expert groups run separate sites for separate practice areas, such as liquor liability, security and premises. I’ve built networks like this, giving each site its own identity and content so they support each other instead of competing as duplicates.
Built to be found
Every expert witness site I build ships with clean on-page SEO: titles written for the searches attorneys make, Person and ProfessionalService structured data, fast pages, accessibility features, and sitemaps submitted to Google and Bing. Your expertise is the real ranking signal; the website’s job is to make sure Google can see it.
How it works
- Plan: we map your specialties, credentials, cases and the attorneys you want to reach.
- Write: I draft the copy from your CV and notes, and you check every claim for accuracy.
- Build: a WordPress site you can update yourself as you add cases, articles and appearances.
- Launch: forms tested end to end, and the site submitted to Google and Bing.
FAQ
Do you write the content for my expert witness website?
Yes. I work from your CV, past reports you can share, and a short call, then write copy that’s accurate and easy for an attorney to scan. Nothing goes live without your approval.
Can attorneys upload documents through the site?
Yes. The intake form can accept the complaint or other documents, delivered to your email or stored securely, depending on what your practice needs.
I’m part of a group with several experts. Can each have a profile?
Yes. Each expert gets a profile with their own specialties, CV and booking button, and the group site ties them together.
Do I own the website?
Completely. It’s standard WordPress on your hosting, with your logins and no lock-in.
Do you work with experts in Canada?
Yes. I work with experts and consulting firms across the US and Canada, on your time zone for calls and updates.
