How we assist attorneys in litigation as consulting experts

We can be retained as consulting experts. Our attorney clients view us as trusted advisors who provide a strategic advantage throughout every phase of litigation. And because our role as a consulting expert is usually never disclosed, our work is generally not discoverable.

We determine if quantifiable damages are available for recovery and provide preliminary estimates of a range of reasonable financial outcomes. And we identify critical information required to form a more focused damage calculation.
