Angela Ross brings over two decades of unmatched expertise in Forensic DNA to the courtroom. Whether you need a second opinion on complex DNA analysis, a thorough case file review, or compelling trial consulting, Angela Ross may be the expert witness your case needs to succeed.
In a legal system increasingly reliant on science, not all evidence is interpreted equally. Having a qualified, credible forensic DNA expert can make or break a case—especially when liberty, justice, and truth are at stake.
Why You Need an Expert Witness for Forensic DNA Cases
Forensic DNA evidence can be highly persuasive to a judge or jury. But that’s only if it’s interpreted accurately and explained clearly. That’s where a seasoned DNA expert witness like Angela Ross plays a vital role.
DNA Analysis Isn’t Always Straightforward
DNA is powerful, but it’s not infallible. Issues often arise in areas such as:
- Sample contamination
- Partial or degraded DNA profiles
- Mixed-source DNA
- Poor laboratory procedures
Angela Ross specializes in identifying these problems and translating complex scientific data into terms a jury can understand.
Prevent Miscarriages of Justice
Incorrect interpretations of DNA evidence have contributed to wrongful convictions. According to the Innocence Project, DNA evidence has helped exonerate over 375 people in the U.S., many of whom had faulty DNA analysis involved in their convictions. A qualified forensic DNA consultant can stop that from happening in the first place.
Expert Witnesses Strengthen Your Legal Strategy
Angela Ross doesn’t just review data. She helps attorneys:
- Strategize how and when to introduce DNA evidence
