I am being bombarded with requests to join online expert witness directories (for the low, low monthly price of...). Are any of these useful for driving business? I am skeptical.

Most likely you get more value and business out of those resources that add you for free because you are an expert in the field. I guess people can easily find you and your skills anyways?

I’ve worked pretty hard to be searchable, yes. I’m also thinking that law firms are going to go with experts via personal referrals much more than searching some random, for-profit expert directory.

Agree and agree. People like to work with people they trust and value. My feeling is that most directories have limited value, especially compared to those (direct) trusted contacts in fields like law and infosec. Trust is everything.
