Since its founding, HSA’s services and technical expertise in all aspects of solid and hazardous waste management and geotechnical engineering continue to grow. Our engineering staff includes professionals from the chemical, civil, geotechnical and environmental disciplines. To better serve you, we combine our significant academic credentials and engineering expertise with other in-house professionals from the related sciences, including industrial hygienists, chemists, geochemists, geologists, hydrogeologists, toxicologists, risk assessors, ecologists and biologists. This diversity of trained staff is routinely tapped as vital support to legal and corporate counsel. Combined, our years of experience and substantial academic background have conveyed successfully the authoritativeness that is a critical element of Litigation Support.

HSA’s industry reputation for practical approaches to complex issues is one of the key differentiating factors of our firm. We routinely provide forensic engineering, peer review and Litigation Support on suits involving complex environmental and engineering claims. Legal counsel call on HSA for technical consultation on matters relating to real property transfers, environmental impairment, contamination assessment and remedial actions, and structural settlement.

We maintain such a strong reputation for success that we have often represented large competitor engineering firms which solicited HSA to provide them litigation support. Our experience includes testifying during both jury and nonjury trials representing plaintiffs and defendants evenly. Our strengths as expert witnesses include credibility, ability to articulate, sincerity, correctness, common sense, experience, invulnerability and professionalism. First and foremost, we are your problem solvers.

Our routine services include: 1) providing suggestions regarding the necessity to perform investigative services and/or alter current remedial approaches, 2) assisting counsel with deposition questions and trial strategy, and 3) providing assistance through exhibits and technical support that can be subsequently presented as a basis for settlement. We also provide a review of: a) existing files, b) results of regulatory inspections revealing violations, c) citizen complaint memoranda, d) technical reports detailing subsurface hydrogeological conditions and water quality, and e) administrative documents revealing justification for denial, as well as any procedural obligations as a condition for ongoing operations at an existing facility.
