Boulder, CO – The need for forensic engineers has never been greater than it is today. Civil and criminal litigation often rely on forensic engineers and their expert testimony to help resolve cases in the courts.

Forensic engineers apply engineering and scientific principles in legal proceedings to determine why and how something happened. They investigate and analyze complex evidence to help lawyers, judges, and juries understand how technical evidence relates to a case.  Forensic engineers also serve as expert witnesses when they provide expert testimony at depositions and trials.

"As a forensic electrical and telecommunications engineer, I consult on civil and criminal cases nationwide," says Mark McFarland. "I provide unbiased, clear, and meaningful explanations. My goal is to inform lawyers, judges, and juries so they have the best information available to make their important decisions."

Mark has contributed to a broad range of cases.  Many of the civil cases involve personal injury and product liability arising from problems such as electrocution, faulty electronics, and malfunctioning communication systems. Other types of civil cases Mark has investigated include insurance claims, and license and contract disputes.

Mark has investigated criminal cases involving murder appeal, securities fraud, home invasion, and even sex trafficking. Many of these cases involve cellular and GPS evidence.

Mark aspires to continue to grow his practice, and he is deeply passionate about his work.

"I've been really blessed with some great work experience---industry, government, research, and forensics---and a lot of education."
