ForensisGroup, the nation's top expert witness services firm, is celebrating 35 years of providing top-tier, fully vetted expert witnesses through High Touch High Tech™, personalized service to law firms and businesses nationwide. Since its founding in 1991, ForensisGroup has set the industry standard for expert witness consulting, supporting over 30,000 high-stakes cases across a wide range of industries, effectively becoming the most trusted partner for complex litigation where reputations and significant outcomes are at stake. The firm's impact, however, is intentionally designed to reach far beyond the courtroom. This milestone represents not just three and a half decades of professional excellence, but a journey rooted in a profound commitment to the human side of justice.
A Legacy of Excellence and Unmatched Expertise
From its inception, ForensisGroup charted a different course. The firm is a pioneer in expert witness services, being the first to offer a unique, high-touch approach that distinguishes it from massive, unvetted expert directories. This approach reflects the belief that meaningful expert engagement requires individualized consideration of both the case and the people involved. In an era of AI-driven databases, ForensisGroup's personalized, hands-on methodology ensures that high-risk litigators receive not just any expert, but the right expert. The firm's rigorous vetting process, grounded in a commitment to Nothing But The Truth®, ensures that every expert is not only a leader in their field but also an effective communicator capable of delivering objective, science-based testimony. As The Experts of Experts®, ForensisGroup has become the top choice for attorneys handling high-stakes litigation.
"We founded this industry with a simple mission: to connect our clients with the absolute best expert for their case,” said Mercy T. Steenwyk, president and CEO of ForensisGroup. "That mission is as personal to us today as it was 35 years ago. In today’s AI revolution, our personalized approach is more critical than ever; when everything is on the line, the human touch is irreplaceable. We act as an extension of our clients’ legal teams, providing the experience, personal attention, and resources necessary to find the right expert witness to bring the truth to each case. Because at the end of the day, every case requires clarity, accuracy, and Nothing But The Truth, supported by objective analysis across scientific, technical, and environmental disciplines. Our 35-year track record is a testament to our unwavering commitment to that mission."
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Complex Litigation
This commitment to clarity is brought to life through the firm's remarkable breadth of expertise. ForensisGroup has expert witnesses in their network that cover a broad range of legal expertise, including niche technical disciplines. The firm's extensive network of experts sit across four distinct categories: business, engineering and construction, environmental, and science.
- Business: As a top source for expert witnesses in intellectual property, finance, economics, accounting, business valuation, commercial damages, insurance, investments and securities, and employment and human resources, ForensisGroup provides comprehensive support for complex commercial litigation.
- Engineering and construction: Recognized as a leading provider of expert witnesses across structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, construction, transportation, and industrial engineering, supporting a wide range of complex technical and infrastructure-related litigation.
- Environmental: Serving as the top expert witness provider for environmental litigation, including specialists in environmental contamination and remediation, water, air, and soil quality, hazardous waste, oil spills, toxicology, and regulatory compliance.
- Science: Established as the best expert witness firm for medical malpractice, surgical specialties including neurosurgery, orthopedics, cardiology, and emergency medicine, as well as pharmacology, chemistry, infectious disease, and food safety. The firm also supports complex technical cases with experts in data science, computer forensics, artificial intelligence, software analysis, and cybersecurity.
This multi-disciplinary approach allows ForensisGroup to provide comprehensive support for even the most complex cases, from copyright and trademark disputes to large-scale environmental litigation. The firm is the top source for business expert witnesses, including intellectual property, finance, and accounting specialists, and the founding leader in engineering and construction expert witnesses across all technical disciplines.
Commitment to Social Responsibility
The firm's impact, however, is intentionally designed to reach far beyond the courtroom. As a woman and minority-owned small business, the company is deeply committed to corporate social responsibility and serving as a Force For Good™. For 35 years, the firm has been actively involved in charitable work and philanthropy, donating $25 for every contract signed to one of three non-profits. These initiatives include providing nutrition-based vitamins and educational scholarships in the Philippines, as well as planting over 8,500 trees, reflecting a deep-seated belief in nurturing a better world.
Looking Forward
As ForensisGroup celebrates its 35th year, it remains steadfast in its dedication to its founding principles of justice, Nothing But The Truth, human connection, purpose-driven service of being a force for good in changing human experience for the better. The firm will continue to be the best partner for finding expert witnesses quickly and efficiently, leveraging its 35 years of experience to help clients achieve success in their most high-stakes cases.
“For 35 years, we’ve stood for truth, professionalism, and purpose,” Steenwyk reflected. “Looking ahead, we will continue to innovate, educate, and advocate; ensuring that our pursuit of justice continues to make a positive difference for generations to come.”
