A significant amount of my work originates from law firms, corporate attorneys, certified public accountants and chief financial officers seeking independent technical support regarding complex insurance issues. These individuals are the source of many projects and project referrals.
I have performed litigation support and expert witness work since the US Supreme Court Daubert decision in 1993. Between early 2006 and early 2011 I was heavily involved in litigation arising out of Hurricane Katrina, ultimately working for six large New Orleans area law firms. The Katrina litigation included insurance agent responsibilities, flood coverage issues, property coverage disputes and triple net property lease disputes.
Between 1993 and June 1, 2011 I was involved in 64 cases. Opinions were prepared in 18, depositions were taken in 26 and testimony was delivered in 5 trials. The mix of plaintiff/defense work is approximately 50/50.
