With over 15 years of experience and a foundation in mathematics, I bring analytical rigor to complex financial disputes. My practice is built on translating financial complexity into clear, defensible conclusions that counsel can rely on.
Experience includes a two-year court-appointed forensic engagement, fraud investigations at a publicly traded company spanning 20+ divisions, and trust account compliance work for California attorneys.
