CurrentFinancial InvestigationsLitigation SupportAsset TracingI have reviewed estate matters wherein one party raided an estate to the detriment of the other parties. My advice to the aggrieved party was not to pursue legal action. The amounts of money allegedly misappropriated were not large and to pursue legal action would be counterproductive due to the costs involved. I was retained by counsel in the defense of a client who was under Federal criminal indictment. I reviewed thousands of business documents. Detailed schedules relating to the payroll aspect of the client’s business were prepared. The client decided to plead guilty to a superseding indictment rather than contest the charges in court. I have been retained by a partner in a surgical clinic who is suing the senior partner for misuse of partnership monies in excess of $500,000.00. The case is set for trial later in 2020. I have reviewed over 10,000 documents, produced multitudes of schedules, interviewed witnesses, and coordinated my efforts with the client’s attorneys.I have investigated the finances of an individual who operated a series of real estate investment companies. There was an outstanding $1.5 million-dollar judgement against this individual which has been satisfied.EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONSI have written and delivered presentations on a number of fraud related investigative topics. In May 2019, I participated in a two-day Continuing Professional Education seminar mandated for Government Auditors. During this seminar I surveyed the following fraud topics over eight (8) hours to the auditors covering such topics as: Fraud Philosophy; Sources of Information; Big Data Analytics; Methods of Proof; Interviewing; and How to Testify.In March 2019, I have delivered a talk on “How to Testify.” This presentation was made via virtual technology to a Criminal Justice class sitting at the University of Alabama, Birmingham.
