About D.A. Doddridge & Associates, Inc.

D.A. Doddridge & Associates, Inc. is a specialized construction expert witness firm comprised of highly experienced building and construction professionals, including contractors, engineers, architects, construction managers, construction safety professionals, and building inspectors.

The firm

Our experts bring extensive hands-on and technical experience across residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional construction, with particular expertise in construction disputes and defects, construction accidents, premises liability, building codes, safety, and building systems.

Founded by David A. Doddridge around 2010, the firm grew from a family construction and expert-witness practice. David followed his father into both construction and expert-witness work, and the firm has since developed into a network of experienced professionals who combine practical field knowledge with an understanding of the legal process. We believe an effective expert must not only understand the technical issues, but also evaluate the evidence objectively and communicate opinions clearly to attorneys, clients, judges, arbitrators, and juries.
