Expert Witness Services
I can be qualified as an Expert Witness in the following areas:
FRAUD
Investigated the accounting procedures of a real estate developer’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and the false financial statements that he had generated --- I persuaded the CFO to admit to his employer that he had made material misstatements for two years. I have subsequently performed more than a dozen white collar fraud investigations for insurance litigation.
Searched for hidden assets and undisclosed financial backers of an environmental testing firm; the case involved damages arising out of an industrial land purchase, after soil testing results were reportedly faked. The disclosed and undisclosed financial backers of the firm were insulated so well that a potential judgment would likely be unenforceable.
PERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION
Provided analysis and research to defend against fifteen plaintiffs’ claims for economic damages; the plaintiffs included a personal injury attorney, the owner of an Italian restaurant, a swimming pool contractor, an insurance agency owner, a retail florist, an “auto parts” business and an auto accessories installer.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Researched ten Florida sites with strong environmental significance for their potential sale to public agencies; this research included determinations of the sellers’ intentions, the likelihood of getting clear title, evaluations of the potential difficulties of closing on the sites, and estimates of their fair market values.
Determined that there was no statistical connection between the proximity of a USEPA “Superfund” site and the sales price and absorption rates of homes near this site, for an appeal to the New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing.
After torrential rains in Jacksonville, and the threat of three lawsuits, I prepared a three-dimensional “time line” of all the repairs made to the multiple roofing structures of this neighborhood shopping center; the litigation was avoided.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND MODELING
Built the first outside database model to study HAZMAT derailments for the Family Lines Rail System (the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad); adapted Shawmut Bank software to create a financial and marketing model used to select branch bank sites for the Atlantic Bancorporation; developed a custom asset – liability – management model for a federal credit union in Jacksonville; estimated the TOFC traffic benefits of the CSX merger; and developed a non-linear multiple regression model to allocate scarce rail cars to coal tipples on the L & N Railroad.
