Years of Collective Experience

Ashley-Hurd-1x1

We’re not a traditional firm that’s stuck in legacy ways of doing things. We constantly look for ways to improve the process, deliver greater value to clients, and evolve as the needs of our work change. We’re building something together and that shared mindset makes us stand out in both how we operate and how we show up for clients.

Steve Ferraro did an excellent job and worked tirelessly as our expert forensic accountant witness. Based on Steve’s hard work, the jury awarded every penny that Steve showed our client to be entitled to and completely rejected the conclusions of the opposing side’s expert.

    Christian was patient and easy to understand. clear, concise and thorough. he spoke “plain” English and was respectful. he did not “rush” and he responded to every question i had, in a timely manner. no matter how “dumb” it may have seemed. for example, i received some paperwork by mail and i did not understand it. i emailed him about it and he cleared it up that day. thats great customer service!
