Frequently asked questions

What does a neonatology expert witness do?

A neonatology expert witness is a pediatrics subspecialist who reviews records and testifies on newborn intensive care and birth-transition management. Their fellowship training carries particular weight when the disputed care falls inside this subspecialty.

Do I need a neonatology subspecialist, or is a general pediatrics expert enough?

When the care at issue was delivered by (or should have involved) a subspecialist, courts and opposing counsel expect a matching subspecialist. For general pediatrics questions, a board-certified pediatrics expert may suffice — we help you make that call at no charge.

How much does a neonatology expert witness cost?

Subspecialists typically price at or slightly above general pediatrics rates. Every Retain expert publishes a full fee schedule before you commit.
