With offices in Reno and Las Vegas, I render expert testimony and consulting services throughout Nevada and throughout the U.S., primarily in complex business litigation and divorce matters.  (Approximately 80% of the matters within Nevada are in Clark County.)  The services performed in litigation matters involve forensic accounting issues; economic damage claims; financial fraud; partner/shareholder disputes; breaches of fiduciary duties; standards of care; personal injury/wrongful death; white collar crime; business valuations; and in family law matters the services involve valuation of businesses, property division, tracing of funds and other assets, tax issues, and spousal support.  Types of businesses for which these services have been performed include manufacturing; distribution; retail sales; construction; real estate development; transportation; and professional practices, e.g. medical, law and accounting, and other service businesses. I am a CPA, Accredited in Business Valuations (ABV), a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA®), a Master Analyst in Financial Forensics (MAFF), a Certified Financial Forensic (CFF), a Certified Forensic Accountant®, a Certified Forensic Auditor (CRFAU), a Diplomate Of the American Board of Forensic Accounting®, a Chartered Global Management Accountant® (CGMA®), and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst™ (CDFA®). My curriculum vitae includes a selection of various matters in which I have been engaged, as well as a list of articles I have authored and presentations I have given.
