Terrell Expert Consulting LLC
Expert Consultant in civil and criminal cases involving memory
If you are defending a client who has been identified from a photo array, a single-photo “showup,” or from a field identification, you need an identification expert. Regardless of the circumstances of the case, there are factors present in any identification that impact witness reliability. I have been reviewing these cases since 2010, helping attorneys suppress identifications, negotiate pleas and dismissals, and deliver not-guilty verdicts at trial. I’d love to talk with you about how I can help you with your case.
Likewise, if you are defending a case involving a delayed allegation of sexual assault, contact me to learn more about how general testimony about the limitations of human memory can provide a foundation for refuting allegations against your client.
Dr. Terrell is an experimental psychologist specializing in the study of eyewitness memory and eyewitness identification. He has consulted in hundreds of cases, testified in over fifty, and given numerous legal presentations about the reliability of human memory in criminal cases.

“Dr. Trent Terrell is, in all things, the expert’s expert. With a trial practice that spans two decades, built upon an entire academic career under that, Dr. Terrell was always available by phone and e-mail to teach me about the science of the identity issues in a particular aggravated robbery case I tried. His preparation was exemplary, and his in-Court testimony was beloved by the jury (they said as much, after he helped secure a “not guilty” verdict for the defense in that case). In any case involving identity issues in the future, you can bet I will be hiring Dr. Trent Terrell.”
– R. Sullivan – Criminal Defense Attorney
“Most experts just stare at the attorney and read off a script. Dr. Terrell is pleasant, honest, and makes eye contact with the jury. I was beyond impressed with Dr. Terrell’s demeanor and knowledge, as was my jury. He was instrumental in helping me hang a murder trial jury, all of whom recommended I use him at retrial. And of course I will. I highly recommended him.“
– Emily S., Criminal Defense Attorney
“Dr. Terrell’s testimony regarding false memories was fascinating, and allowed us to completely re-frame our approach to the case. Even the prosecutor in our case followed him out of the courtroom, eager to learn more from him. You don’t see that everyday.“
– Donald C., Criminal Defense Attorney
