Carr Allison Shareholder Doug Jones and Associate Matthew Scanlan were recently published in the Spring issue of Trial Advocate Quarterly, a publication of the Florida Defense Lawyers Association. The article, entitled "Expert Witness Certificates: Creating Accountability for Out-of-State Witnesses in Florida Courts", addressed recent legislation passed to require out of state physicians and dentist to obtain a certificate prior to providing standard of care opinions in Florida Cases - and thus creating the ability to sanction such experts for fraudulent testimony.
