BENCHRECON
State-court DUI, drug, and violent-crime defenders in Daubert states, Florida first, facing forensic expert testimony. Also serves federal CDs and capital mitigation specialists.

Daubert challenges. PCAST + NAS + FBI, source-linked, not boilerplate. $197 per discipline.

Ten disciplines. Each is an FRE 702 motion shell, a 10-15 question expert cross-examination bank, the lead authority’s verbatim finding with source URL, and the documented cumulative-error history. Every citation is source-linked so you can verify it before it goes in, not the undated boilerplate a free brief bank hands you: built so you walk into the Daubert hearing prepared instead of building from scratch the night before.

Run the discipline at issue and file the Daubert motion, FRE 702 in federal court, your state's Daubert-equivalent reliability rule elsewhere, with the PCAST + NAS findings already organized and source-linked so you can confirm each citation before it goes in. Walk into the reliability hearing with a 10-15 question expert cross-examination bank ready, not boilerplate you still have to source.

Start with the expert’s prior record, free.

Before you draft the FRE 702 motion, run the State’s analyst or expert through the expert witness opinion search: a free lookup of the published CourtListener opinion corpus for that name appearing alongside a Daubert, Frye, or Kumho admissibility reference, with the verbatim passage and a source link on every row. It is the person-record lead; these packs are the discipline-level reliability attack you build on top of it.

Frequently asked questions.

What do I get?

Per discipline: a structured FRE 702 motion-to-exclude template (~250 words editable), a recommended cross-examination question bank (10-15 questions), a cumulative-error history with verified citations, and the lead authority's verbatim finding (PCAST, NAS, FBI/DOJ, or NRC) with the source URL stored in the brief's bibliography.

Is this legal advice?

No. The templates are research artifacts modeled on the published critique literature in each discipline. Counsel of record adapts the motion language to the forum's expert-admissibility standard, circuit-level FRE 702 doctrine in federal court, or the state's Daubert/Frye framework in state court, and the facts of the case before filing.

Why $197 per discipline?

A single Daubert literature pull and motion draft commonly takes 6-10 hours of attorney time, hours a state-court DUI or drug defender rarely has before a hearing. As a federal benchmark, at the CJA panel rate (~$177/hr) that is $1,062-$1,770 of recovered billable time per discipline. In Florida state court, assigned counsel are paid a flat fee per case rather than by the hour, so those are hours you absorb yourself, not a billable line you recover. Either way the brief is priced at roughly 11.5% of the federal benchmark, well under the implicit hourly rate of pulling the literature yourself.

Why is the bundle $997?

Buying all 10 disciplines individually would be $1,970. The bundle is priced at half, for solo practices that handle a mixed forensic caseload, the marginal cost of disciplines you do not file this year is small relative to the up-front time savings on the ones you do.

Are the citations verified?

Every quote in every brief carries a source URL stored alongside the citation. Lead authorities are PCAST 2016, NAS 2009, NAS 2014 (eyewitness ID), NRC 2003 (polygraph), NRC 1979 (voice ID), and the FBI/DOJ 2015 hair-microscopy review. Cumulative-error histories cite published Innocence Project corpus, NACDL Champion articles, and reported appellate opinions where the discipline was excluded or limited.

What is the refund policy?

7-day full refund on every brief, single or bundle. No questions asked.
