Rudolph Johnson, PhD, is a Chemical Toxicologist with over 20 years of experience in analytical chemistry and toxicological investigations. Dr. Johnson's past experience includes directing the (1) clinical toxicology network, LRN-C, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and (2) the Military Exposures Research Program at the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Currently, he serves as the Director of the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene and has a faculty appointment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, Department of Pathology.

Dr. Johnson focuses on two specialty areas:

(A) Toxicology: He offers causation opinions connecting dose, analytical detection, and biomarker findings to determine whether and to what extent an individual was exposed to a chemical or toxin.  The chemical or toxin may be inhaled, ingested or injected. This includes drug and alcohol testing.

(B) Laboratory Testing: He critiques or defends laboratory testing methodology, chain-of-custody, and quality assurance practices. He is an expert at evaluating conflicting testing data between two labs.

Litigation Support - Dr. Johnson works with plaintiff and defense litigation attorneys on toxic tort, product liability, and environmental and occupational exposure cases requiring causation analysis. He supports criminal defense and plaintiffs reviewing drug exposures (opioids, fentanyl analogs, polypharmacy) and alcohol testing. This includes chain-of-custody, and quality practices. Conflicting or inconsistent laboratory data, especially between multiple laboratories, is a specialty area of Dr. Johnson because he previously directed multiple clinical toxicology labs.

Dr. Johnson detects, quantifies, and interprets chemical and toxic exposure in human clinical samples. He is skilled in translating investigative information into causation opinions, connecting dose, biomarker significance, and clinical outcome—for poisoning, occupational, environmental, and mass-casualty toxicology cases.

Mark O. Barnett, PhD, PE, BCEE has over 30 years of national and international Environmental Engineering and Science experience in industry, government, and academia ranging from water supply and sanitation in rural communities to nuclear waste disposal. He is currently a Professor of Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Auburn University.

Litigation Support - Dr. Barnett has served as an environmental expert witness-expert consultant on cases in administrative, federal, and state courts ranging from permit applications to toxic tort lawsuits. He has written expert reports, filed affidavits, been deposed, and given testimony. Further, he has extensive litigation experience from his service as an administrative judge with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Writing samples, transcripts, and references are available upon request.

Areas of Expertise:

Background Experience - Dr. Barnett is a licensed professional engineer and a board-certified member of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists. His technical research focuses on the chemical processes controlling water quality and contaminant behavior in natural and engineered systems. He has been a principal or co-principal investigator on seventeen grants totaling over $12 million, and he has published over fifty peer-reviewed journal articles, several book chapters, and a book that collectively have received over three-thousand citations.

Dr. Barnett has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and an M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Tennessee and a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences and Engineering from the University of North Carolina. He has taught fundamental and applied courses in environmental and aquatic chemistry; water and wastewater treatment; environmental engineering principles and design; and sustainable design and development.

Paul E. Rosenfeld, M.S., Ph.D., is the Founder and Principal Scientist of RoseyFields LLC and a nationally recognized forensic environmental scientist and expert witness. Over 25 years, his work has spanned complex toxic-tort and class-action litigation — including MTBE, PFOA/PFAS, asbestos, FELA railroad exposure, air-dispersion modeling, epidemiology, toxicology, industrial contamination, and pesticide exposure matters — with an aggregate case value of approximately $14 billion, and he has been deposed approximately 150 times in 31 states.

Litigation Support

Dr. Rosenfeld's opinions are based on established scientific methodologies, quantitative exposure models, peer-reviewed scientific literature, published technical methods, and reproducible calculations that can be independently evaluated and tested, providing a rigorous scientific foundation for expert opinions under Daubert and related standards for the admissibility of scientific evidence. He has authored and contributed to books and technical publications concerning environmental contamination, exposure assessment, and risk evaluation and has applied these scientific methods in expert reports, litigation, depositions, regulatory proceedings, and trial testimony.

Methodologies & Scientific Approach

Dr. Rosenfeld's air dispersion modeling work applies EPA-approved and peer-reviewed models, including AERMOD, CALPUFF, and ALOHA, to reconstruct historical emissions, source attribution, and community-level exposure pathways. His exposure and dose reconstruction methods integrate environmental sampling data, regulatory exposure factors, and published toxicological and epidemiological literature to quantify human exposure to chemicals including benzene, PFAS/PFOA, TCE, hexavalent chromium, and crystalline silica, among others. Each methodology is applied transparently, allowing the underlying calculations, data inputs, and modeling assumptions to support general cuasation opinions. 

Publications & Court Qualifications

Dr. Rosenfeld has authored six books and dozens of peer-reviewed publications on environmental contamination and risk assessment. He has been qualified as an expert under Daubert and analogous standards in federal and state courts nationwide reflecting consistent application of scientifically defensible methodologies under prevailing standards for expert testimony admissibility.
