    What Our Clients Say

    Dr. Alban is a highly respected medical expert with an exceptional track record in the field of emergency medicine. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to justice, he has served numerous times, providing expert testimony in various criminal proceedings. A few months ago, defense attorney A.K. needed his assistance in a temporary restraining order case involving a high profile corporate executive who was accused of domestic violence. At stake was this man’s job, and an impeccable reputation of over twenty-five years. His girlfriend had accused him of physically assaulting her.

    As the courtroom proceeding began, Dr. Alban took the stand ready to present his findings. A.K. explained to the court how Dr. Alban’s expertise would shed light on the true events that transpired on the day of the alleged assault. The atmosphere was tense as all eyes focused on Dr. Alban, waiting for his testimony.

    With calm and unwavering composure, Dr. Alban began to present his analysis. He meticulously went through medical reports, examining the injuries sustained by the accuser. The court room listened attentively as he dissected each piece of evidence examining the nature and severity of the wounds.

    Dr. Alban explained how he had conducted a thorough examination of the victims injuries, considering various factors that could have caused them. He presented his findings revealing that the injuries were inconsistent with an assault as described by the prosecution. He further elaborated on the alternative explanation for the wounds, pointing out that they were more likely the results of an accidental fall rather than an intentional act of violence. Supported by his extensive knowledge and expertise, Dr. Alban continued to dismantle the prosecution’s case. He highlighted the lack of definitive evidence tying the accused to the alleged assault, emphasizing that the injuries did not align with the accuser’s narrative. His precise and persuasive testimony left no room for doubt.

    As the hearing progressed, the defense team skillfully utilized Dr. Alban’s testimony to establish reasonable doubt. They showcased the inconsistencies in the accuser’s version of events and successfully impeached her credibility. Dr. Alban’s objective analysis became the foundation upon which the defense built their case. After a few days of intense argument and counter arguments, the hearing reached its conclusion. The judge commended Dr. Alban for his thorough analysis and credible testimony. With a heavy heart, the judge announced that the evidence presented by Dr. Alban had successfully exonerated the accused, resulting in the dismissal of the temporary restraining order.

    The defendant, who always maintained his innocence, stood with tears in his eyes, relieved and grateful for Dr. Alban’s unwavering dedication to justice. The accuser, though disappointed, now faced the reality that her accusations had been disproven. A few days later, A.K. texted Dr. Alban the following, “Just wanted to thank you again for your assistance in this matter. As usual, your testimony was absolutely flawless. So glad we retained you! Enjoy some time off, my friend.”
