• Litigation Support – We provide our litigation support services – working with both plaintiff and defense counsel − in a wide-range of disputes in venues across the U.S.  A common, underlying theme typically involves the quantification of the value of a business, asset or income stream for consideration by the trier of fact, such as a judge, jury, or arbitrator.  We are hired not only for our knowledge and skill at performing such analysis, but also our ability to credibly testify to our opinions, if necessary.
