Expert Witness and Liability Consulting

Sheriff Gary Raney (ret.) provides experience-driven expert witness services, liability assessments and litigation consulting in areas such as the use of force, in-custody deaths and employee misconduct.  His work is detailed and defensible, but he will not try to be all things to all people - if he can’t help you with your case, he can often find someone else who can. His engagements include a similar proportion of defense and plaintiff cases from Maine to California. (see our Engagements page)

Gary not only has the technical knowledge needed by a good expert witness, but he also has the credibility of over 40 years of experience serving in various law enforcement roles, most notably as an elected sheriff for over ten years. Some of his notable work includes being appointed by the federal court as the Independent Compliance Director over the Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, serving as a federal court monitor in both Santa Clara and San Bernardino Counties in California and leading the corrections investigation for the U.S. Department of Justice in the Fulton County (Atlanta) jail system.

Gary is a well-respected expert witness in areas including:

• Use of force

• In-custody death

• Custody practices / duty of care

• Jail policies and procedures

• Police policies and procedures
