Many experts attempt to cover the entire forensic spectrum by becoming trained in fire investigations, accident reconstruction, structural engineering, etc. When these cases get to court, the opposing attorney attacks their record as being too broad and lacking any real expertise, i.e. "a jack of all trades." Now ask yourself, would you go to a doctor who claims expertise in ophthalmology, plastic surgery, cardiology and psychiatry? Probably not. It takes decades of training and experience in just one discipline to acquire the knowledge of hundreds of case studies to truly gain expertise in the field. Don't waste your time on journeymen who spread themselves thin. Find that one expert with specialized experience who is dedicated to his craft and who will represent you well in any ensuing litigation.
