Weed Reconstruction & Expert Consulting (WREC) LLC

What Weed Reconstruction & Expert Consulting (WREC) LLC does

Weed Reconstruction & Expert Consulting (WREC) LLC is a private, Atlanta-based (Vinings, GA) forensic consulting firm founded in 2012 by Shelly Weed, a former law enforcement crash investigator with more than 20 years of experience and over 6,000 crashes personally investigated. The firm provides crash reconstruction, forensic analysis, and expert witness services to attorneys, law firms, insurance companies, and criminal-defense counsel across the Southeast United States, with a stated alignment to the Georgia defense bar via its GDLA sponsorship.

WREC's service stack is built around a core offering of crash scene inspection, vehicle examination, evidence analysis, written expert reports, and deposition/trial testimony, supported by a portfolio of technology-enabled add-ons: Bosch and specialty (Kia, Hyundai, Tesla) Event Data Recorder retrieval, commercial-vehicle ECM data retrieval, FARO 3D scene and damage-profile scanning, aerial drone documentation, and Axon-based video evidence analysis. Two ACTAR-accredited Senior Reconstructionists anchor the team, with two Associate Reconstructionists, an Executive Assistant, an Office Manager, and a recent forensic-science hire. All technology components are commercially available forensic tools rather than proprietary IP, so the firm's differentiation is the credentialed human expertise applied to those tools.

The business model is professional services, billed on a portal-to-portal hourly basis ($200-$500/hr depending on seniority and rush conditions) plus flat fees for specialty equipment ($150-$750) and $3,000/day trial-appearance fees, gated by non-refundable retainers ($2,500 civil, $5,000 criminal). Customer acquisition is driven by professional reputation, GDLA and bar-association affiliations, and direct attorney referrals; the retaining attorney is the paying party, so revenue predictability is tied to case-volume cycles in the Georgia defense-litigation market.
