About
A course or two in statistics is not the same as doctoral training in the discipline. Our firm brings a PhD in Statistics from Rice University and over 25 years of experience to every engagement, expertise grounded in the theoretical basis for each method we use, including the assumptions it depends on, assumptions that are frequently overlooked by professionals whose statistical training is secondary to a degree in economics, psychology, or finance. That grounding is why our opinions have survived Daubert challenges in state and federal courts nationwide. Meet Dr. Baggett and see how the firm approaches every case.

Why Choose us
Choosing the right statistical expert can make or break a class action case. Here’s what sets L Scott Baggett & Associates apart:

Custom Methodology
We never use a one-size-fits-all approach. Every sampling design and damages calculation is built from the ground up to fit the specific facts of your case.

Nationwide Practice
We serve plaintiff law firms across the country in both wage & hour and insurance litigation matters.
Our process
We believe in working closely with plaintiff counsel at every stage of litigation. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us:
Step 1 — Initial Consultation
We start with a confidential conversation to understand the facts of your case, the data available, and what you need from a statistical expert. This helps us quickly assess whether the case has statistical merit and how we can best support your litigation strategy.
Step 2 — Data Review & Case Assessment
Once engaged, we conduct a thorough review of all available data — including payroll records, personnel files, timekeeping data, and claims information. We identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the data early so there are no surprises down the road.
Step 3 — Methodology Design
We design a custom statistical methodology tailored specifically to your case. Every sampling plan and analytical approach is built from scratch to reflect the unique facts, data, and legal theories at issue. For a detailed look at how we approach each stage of this work, see our Damages Workshop Playbook.
Step 4 — Analysis & Report Preparation
We conduct rigorous statistical analysis and prepare a comprehensive written expert report that meets the evidentiary standards of state and federal courts. Our reports are thorough, clearly reasoned, and written to be understood by judges and juries — not just statisticians.
Step 5 — Consultation & Strategy Support
Throughout the litigation process we remain closely available to plaintiff counsel — answering questions, refining analyses as new data emerges, advising on opposing expert strategies, and helping prepare for depositions and hearings.
Step 6 — Deposition & Trial Testimony
When the time comes, our firm delivers clear, confident, and persuasive testimony at deposition and trial. We are experienced in defending our methodologies under rigorous cross-examination and have a strong track record of surviving Daubert challenges.
