High legal stakes require financial clarity. I provide litigation support grounded in rigorous financial analysis and defensible conclusions. I take on a limited number of discrete, project-based litigation-support assignments where financial analysis and business judgment can add value to counsel and clients.

My career combines technical accounting expertise with senior-level responsibility. I bring a business perspective to financial disputes—understanding the numbers behind every transaction, contract negotiation, and operating decision to determine the dollar amount behind business performance.

I help attorneys analyze their clients' financial records to identify discrepancies, highlight issues/ inconsistencies, and areas requiring further examination. My insights and reporting help develop a defensible financial position for litigation and mediation.

I am experienced in trust and fiduciary disputes. This financial structure has unique requirements and makes litigation document-intensive. I bring decades of expertise to unravel the complexities implicit in trust and fiduciary disputes, working closely with attorneys to prepare for mediation and litigation.

I Analyze financial information to develop a clear picture, identify schedules, make necessary calculations, and provide compiled support analyses for counsel.

I am able to reconstruct financial activity from incomplete, complex, or fragmented records. This allows for tracing of transactions across accounts and entities. These will be compiled in a clear reporting format for use in litigation activities.

I offer review of financial analyses and obtaining/ providing expert reports that support the data. These evaluate underlying assumptions and
calculations, identifying questions and illuminating inconsistencies that require further examination.

Calculation of outcomes start with clear analysis and quantifying any financial losses. These may including damages, lost profits, and other financial impacts that are involved in proceedings.
