Based upon his education and life experience, Dr. Sase holds himself out as a forensic economist, in Michigan and beyond, offering his knowledge and professional skills to help attorneys settle their cases early and satisfactorily. When cases go to arbitration or trial, he steps forward to serve as an economic expert witness.

Dr. Sase is a practicing forensic economist and quantitative analyst. This means that his work includes measuring and analyzing economic losses; preparing written determinations of these losses; consulting with attorneys and their clients; participating in discovery depositions initiated by opposing counsel; and providing testimony of my findings, conclusions, and opinions in courts of law as an economist expert witness in Michigan state courts and United States District Courts in Eastern Michigan.

Throughout his career, the majority of cases upon which Dr. Sase has worked as a economist expert witness (or economic expert witness) have involved the determination of economic losses accruing to human beings over extended periods of time.

These damages emerge from loss of employment, severe and disabling injury, and losses that beset the families of victims who have suffered a wrongful death.

In order to perform this work, an economic analyst / economic expert witness must remain objective while relying upon quantitative and qualitative data, economic theory and methods, and literature from the field of Economics and closely related disciplines.
