When hiring an audio forensic expert, consider their background experience by examining their curriculum vita (CV). This is a journal of their work and testimony experience including references. You might consider a retainer agreement so both you and the expert have an understanding of each other’s expectations.
Ask the audio forensic expert to do a pro bono call with your lawyer so the two can establish a strategy on how the audio evidence in your case will be handled.
Call some of the references on the audio forensics expert CV and ask how they performed both in court and during the forensic investigation.

Have a clear understanding of the costs involved before beginning any work. What are the costs to testify? Are there any travel expenses involved and if so what are they? Has your lawyer ever worked with an audio forensic expert? If not, explain to the expert your circumstances so they can proceed accordingly and help everyone involved better understand the evidence and how it relates to your case.
Part of the audio forensic expert’s job is to help you; the lawyers and courts better understand audio evidence and simplify the explanation and reasoning so the appropriate outcomes can be reached.
Every case is different just like the court rulings and Supreme Court rulings as they pertain to your case.
The best thing to do is to call and discuss your case to determine the best audio expert to go with because their personality is about as important as theiir expertice.
