Sweeping is a niche industry.

Including six sub-categories or specialties.

Parking Lot Sweeping

Construction Site Sweeping

Highway and Roadway Sweeping

Municipal Street Sweeping

Private Community Sweeping

Indoor and Warehouse Sweeping

 

There are a lot of well qualified experts in the sweeping field. Each niche has many individuals across the country with decades of experience in a particular specialty or aspect of sweeping or sweepers.  The challenge for those seeking litigation support is finding the right individual with a lifetime in the industry, equipment knowledge, operator skills as well as deposition, testimony and expert witness experience.

Equipment Knowledge

Sweepers come in many shapes and sizes.  There are broom, vacuum, broom assist, regenerative air to name a few. Each type and model has its advantages and operational best practices.

Operator Skills

The most important safety feature of a sweeper is the person behind the wheel.  Training is a vital component and combined with thousands of hours in the driver's seat, creates insight you can't get from an interview. Training operators leads to training the trainers and training BMPs.

Legal Work

Unlike some Expert Witness specialties, thankfully sweeping is a small enough niche to not be a full-time gig.   However, experience is earned over 40 years working, employing, training, and running a sweeping company. The experts here are full time sweeping company executives.

It's about perspective.

Years behind the wheel operating the sweepers, training hundreds of drivers, then training the trainers.  Combined with the view from managing a sweeping company over decades, provides the perspective to help litigators understand and evaluate sweeping industry practices.

Mark and Gabe met in the 1980's at a sweeper conference. What a surprise!

Both grew up in sweeping companies, starting at the bottom and working their way up to President.  Mark in California, Gabe in New Jersey.

Each is a past President of their national trade association, where they remain active.

Having each referred expert witness work to each other for several decades, it made sense to combine for a single website for their niche practices.

While this website is shared, each has their own independent expert witness practice.
