What does an expert witness generally charge per hour in California? |
Any input is appreciated, but I’m specifically trying to get an idea of what expert witnesses charge per hour to work on a civil case involving real estate. Also, is there an accepted rate for an initial retainer? Thanks in advance to all who respond.
It depends on what the expert’s field of expertise is. Some don’t have to be paid anymore than the court mandated minimum (because they refuse pay). Some will charge as much as $10,000. It just depends. As for initial retainer, it depends on the type of litigation. Post more facts about your case and I can give you a MUCH better answer.
