“ In my opinion Dr. Richard Hough is a premier expert in the field of Police Practices and Procedures. His qualifications and experience are unmatched by any other experts in this area.

He has testified in several trials on behalf of my law enforcement clients and juries have always found his testimony very persuasive. In my 35 years of practicing law he is one of the most challenging experts for opposing counsel to cross-examine. He is very well prepared, knowledgeable with great attention to detail.

Outstanding expert! I highly recommend him! “

Dr. Hough has become my first choice when I need an expert to explain complex law enforcement or corrections issues to a court or jury. I am leery of “professional” experts who often tell me what they think I want to hear. With Dr. Hough, I always get a detailed, honest analysis of the pertinent issues, which he explains in a way that can be understood by a lay person. Dr. Hough is a straight shooter. I would recommend him to any attorney who needs a competent, thorough, and entirely unflappable expert witness.

I was handling an officer-involved shooting death case and I wanted to retain a law enforcement expert who could effectively address issues involving non-lethal and lethal use of force, adequacy of written policies and training. A fellow colleague mentioned to me that he had retained Dr. Hough on another case and spoke positively of his abilities. Based upon that recommendation, I decided to give Dr. Hough a call – and I am so glad that I did. During my interactions with Dr. Hough, I was not only impressed by his level of knowledge regarding the issues presented in my case, but I also appreciated his ability to clearly articulate what documentation he needed in order to conduct a thorough analysis. He reviewed a considerable number of documents and provided me with a concise report which clearly set forth his opinions and his basis for them. Dr. Hough provided me with honest, well-founded, and candid insights into the potential strengths and weaknesses of my case and for that I am truly grateful. I highly recommend Dr. Hough as a consultant and expert in law enforcement matters.

Dr. Hough has been an invaluable consulting and testifying expert with our firm’s police practices cases. His credentials are exemplary and I particularly appreciate his ability to explain the technical and legal aspects of police practices in a concise and understandable format that lawyers and jurors can understand.

I enthusiastically endorse Dr. Hough as a Law Enforcement expert across the spectrum of 1983 claims, not only because of his outstanding qualifications as summarized in his CV and his authentic testimony style, but also due to his positive and thorough responses and reports even when time is of the essence. His specific, detailed, and yet very readable reports and testimony play well to Judge or Jury, and his candor and intelligence are particularly evident on cross examination. One District Court Judge in a major Civil Rights case positively cited Dr. Hough’s testimony nine times in his Conclusions of Law and Findings of Fact.
