“Dr. Adhia was an excellent witness for our defense. A qualified expert, he traveled to Georgia from Texas on short notice and provided critical testimony. The prosecution couldn’t touch him, but they will probably need him in the future.”
“…Even the prosecutor indicated that he was impressed with the report. It was so thorough in fact that we reached an agreement that prevented the need for a trial.”
Dr. Adhia did a thorough evaluation of my client and considered medical reports and records. My client suffered from a complicating factor Dr. Adhia explained for the layperson and incorporated into his opinions…[his report] was so thorough in fact that we reached an agreement that prevented the need for a trial
