We recently performed a land survey in Boston, Massachusetts, for a criminal court case. Though many people don’t realize this, land surveyors are occasionally called upon to provide expert testimony in civil cases and sometimes even criminal cases. Perhaps the most obvious would be court cases involving boundary disputes where a land surveyor may need to provide expert testimony regarding boundary determination and reconciliation, right of way location and the like. However, there are other instances where a land surveyor may be asked to provide mapping and surveying reports or testimony for judges, attorneys, insurance companies or Federal or State agencies.
