An autopsy is a thorough medical examination of a corpse to determine the manner and cause of death and evaluate injuries or diseases. When you’re building a case that hinges on medical analysis or testimony in this area, finding an autopsy expert witness who is Board Certified and currently practicing in the United States is key.
A physician called a pathologist usually performs an autopsy. Also referred to as a post-mortem examination, obduction or necropsy, an autopsy is performed for medical or legal purposes. A forensic autopsy is conducted if professionals suspect the cause of death may involve a criminal matter. A clinical autopsy is conducted to find the cause of death in cases where it’s not known, while an academic autopsy is conducted for research purposes.
In some autopsies, an external examination suffices. In others, a physician dissects the body for an internal examination.
Several factors separate a highly qualified forensic pathology or autopsy expert witness from the pack. We prescreen our experts on more than 20 data points to ensure the medical expert witnesses in our network deliver the quality and authority your case deserves.
Finding an expert witness can be time-consuming, especially when you’re busy building your case. Practicing medical professionals are also busy, which is why many are only available through expert witness services. Those are just a few reasons why lawyers trust AMFS to find the best autopsy or forensic pathology expert witness for their case.

“I'm writing to commend your case manager for taking a horrible situation we had with an expert and turning it around in less than 24 hours and getting a replacement expert that really jumped in and did the job well and met our deadline. He turned a near disaster into a forward fumble. We are very happy with the results. As we all know, things can get a little crazy in the trenches and it is good to know you have some people that can cut through the red tape and make things happen.”
— Huggins & Maxwell

“AMFS has consistently provided my office with excellent, above and beyond service. They have provided me with qualified medical experts, who have all been accomplished physicians with large successful practices. Their in-house Medical Directors have been a valuable resource in helping me understand the medical issues of my cases. Most important is the level of service, it is fantastic. I have recommended AMFS to some of my closest professional friends, and would recommend their services to anyone looking for medical-legal consultation or expert physicians.”
— Marc S. Alpert, Esq.
“I am a solo practitioner. My client had a situation dealing with surgical intervention of a relatively rare condition. The good folks at AFMS listened to my facts and my particular desire to not spend several thousand dollars to be told to NOT advance the case. Stephanie, presumably a nurse practitioner or legal nurse consultant (given her ability to speak medico-legal) got me to the medical director, Dr. Danzer (sic). These two spoke with me, addressed how the facts interplayed with the law, and broke out for me the circumstances under which the potential case would be reasonable to pursue. They spent 30 minutes with me gong back and forth and enabled me to make a fully informed decision on how to proceed. I will use AMFS for every medico-legal consultation and/or medical malpractice matter I have for the remainder of my career.”
