EXPERT WITNESS
Experience matters. Especially when the details do.
With more than 23 years in the title and escrow industry, I've worked across operations, senior sales leadership, process improvement, and executive management, including serving as president of a title company.
I provide independent expert analysis and litigation consulting for attorneys handling title and escrow-related matters.
Industry experience. Independent analysis.
Every matter has its own facts, circumstances, and questions.
My role is to evaluate the available evidence, consider applicable industry standards and practices, and provide clear, supportable opinions grounded in my experience.
I'm not here to reach a predetermined conclusion.
I'm here to understand what happened and provide an informed, independent perspective.

I approach each engagement independently, with an emphasis on thorough analysis, practical industry knowledge, and opinions I can explain and support.
More than a résumé.
My background includes escrow operations, senior sales leadership, process improvement, and executive management.
I've served as a title company president, held industry leadership positions, and taught continuing education to title and escrow professionals.
That range of experience helps me evaluate both the technical details of a transaction and the broader operational context in which decisions were made.
