My Curriculum Vitae may be found here:

Consulting

I am available to assist with civil, administrative and criminal cases. Providing expertise by way of consulting, written report, or court testimony. This includes:

Expert Witness Retention & Litigation
I am available for full retention as an expert witness in litigation matters. This includes reviewing case materials, providing preliminary verbal consultations, preparing detailed written reports, and delivering testimony at depositions or trials as required.

Consultative Review
I offer case screening and consultative services to help attorneys evaluate potential claims. This involves reviewing provided records to assess viability, highlighting key strengths and vulnerabilities, and discussing complex issues verbally. I can clarify technical concepts, explore alternative theories, assist with trial strategy, and suggest targeted questions—all without committing to a formal opinion, report, or testimony.

Strategic Research/Research Briefs
I conduct targeted research on designated topics and prepare comprehensive, fully cited briefs summarizing relevant studies, standards, and literature. These documents present balanced findings, including both supporting and contrasting evidence related to your case theory, and may address causation, risk factors, or industry practices. Designed as an educational resource to support your investigation and strategy development.

Certificates/Affidavits of Merit
For jurisdictions requiring certificates of merit, I review records to evaluate case merit, discuss findings verbally with counsel, and assist in drafting the required certificate or affidavit outlining the basis for the claim.

In addition to the services outlined above, I am happy to discuss and provide expertise on any related matters within my areas of knowledge and experience. Please feel free to contact me regarding custom consulting, specialized research, training reviews, or other support that may be of assistance.

Curriculum Development

I can advise and assist with crafting curriculum to train your staff. I have expertise crafting and delivering lesson plans to the NYPD, NYC Dept of Probation, and the Kingdom of Jordan.

Subject Matter Expertise

I have been certified by New York State, the NYPD, and different product manufacturers as an expert in firearms, taser devices, and personal defense spray, as well as conducting scenario training.
