Vocational Expert - Hawaii
Vocational Evaluation & Expert Testimony
Vocational Evaluation Report
As a vocational expert I produce vocational evaluation reports to be used in litigation. I have worked with major law firms and well-known attorneys in Hawaii to prepare reports to be used at trial. These reports are mostly used in personal injury, medical malpractice, and discrimination cases.
Vocational evaluation reports may include the following:
a review of pertinent vocational and medical records,
an interview of the claimant,
vocational testing of the claimant,
a job analysis (site visit sometimes required),
an evaluation of the claimant’s earnings capacity, and
opinions about appropriate work a claimant can reasonably perform given the impact of their injury.
Expert Witness Testimony
Once the expert reports have been submitted, if the case does not settle it proceeds to trial.
Before trial, I am deposed by opposing counsel about my report and opinions about the case.
If the case moves to trial, I am called to testify at trial as an expert witness.
Expertise Since 1997
Following graduation from University of Hawaii’s Rehabilitation Counseling graduate program in 1997 I worked throughout the State of Hawaii as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. I helped injured workers in the State Workers’ Compensation system return to work. I began doing forensic evaluations. I actively volunteered advocating for people with brain injuries and for protection of endangered wildlife.
When I retired from active vocational rehabilitation counseling in 2022, I continued to work as an expert witness.
