Expert Witness & Litigation Support
Attorneys and parties in construction and property disputes retain Lev Engineering for independent structural analysis and testimony that holds up. Because Jordan M. Rey, MSCE, PE, maintains an active structural design, forensic, and inspection practice — not a testimony-only shop — his opinions are grounded in current, real-world engineering, which is what makes them credible and defensible under cross-examination.

Why a practicing engineer, not a career witness
A testimony-only expert invites the “hired gun” attack on cross-examination. Expert engagements are a deliberate minority of Lev Engineering's active, tri-state practice — so opinions come from an engineer who designs and evaluates real structures every week, with the independence and current experience to match.
