<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon. My client owns a piece of property that was severely flooded after a storm. There are questions surrounding causation (act of God type event vs. one that could have been prevented by proper design/construction). We are
looking for an expert (likely a civil engineer type) who can investigate, consult and potentially testify about liability/causation.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Have spoken to a few civil engineers, but need to find someone who can really help determine causation/liability and testify if needed.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Recommendations would be appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
