As a subject-matter expert, Andy Sikes understands that his testimony needs to include both technical and legal terminology. He also appreciates that such terms need to be defined and explained clearly, even for the most knowledgeable and intelligent audiences.
Common sounding phrases, such as “with a fence” or “along a fence,” have very specific, technical meanings in the context of land surveys, which can have significant legal implications. Sometimes factors such as an unmentioned easement appurtenant can mean that a valid boundary description of a property in one document, such as a deed, doesn’t match an equally valid boundary description in another document, such as an instrument of conveyance.
Mr. Sikes is adept, thoughtful, and experienced in presenting technical terms and situations in clear language that is meaningful to the court.
