Home Inspection Expert Witness

Ohio

Home inspection expert witness in Ohio, by county

Ohio has a court of common pleas in every county, and larger civil disputes over homes usually start there. Smaller claims and many landlord-tenant cases go to municipal or county courts instead. These pages describe, county by county, the kinds of home disputes where a home inspection expert witness can help and which court hears them.

A home inspection expert witness explains what a home inspector was expected to observe and report under Ohio's home inspector standards of practice (OAC 1301:17-1-17), and whether a report matches what could be seen. The expert does not give legal advice, engineering opinions, or opinions about building code compliance.

Home Inspection Expert Witness is run by Shaun Atkinson, Ohio licensed home inspector OHI.2019006734. It currently lists one expert. It is a directory, not a law firm, expert-placement agency, or referral service. Listed inspectors are independent professionals, not employees or agents of the directory or its operator. We don't endorse or recommend any listed inspector, and we make no promise about any opinion or case outcome. Attorneys and parties choose, contract with, and pay experts directly. The directory isn't a party to those engagements and takes no share of any expert's fees. When Shaun Atkinson is retained as an expert, he is paid under his own engagement agreement, like any listed expert, and never on a contingent basis. Listed inspectors pay a flat monthly fee to appear here, and that fee doesn't depend on whether they are hired or how a case turns out. Shaun Atkinson is also a listed inspector.
