Therefore, we can be an important member of any successful litigation team.

As one of this area’s leading CPA firms, we are available to provide attorneys with a complete range of professional and business expertise that may be required in complex litigation
or arbitration cases. We bring to the litigation team our in-depth understanding of the business and technical aspects of finance and accounting, as well as partners and professional staff, working with state-of-the-art software, to provide reports to assist with your cases. As CPAs, we provide the objective viewpoint and credibility for which our profession is known.
Our professionals have a background and training in a variety of industries, and often, an in-depth knowledge of a specific industry. In addition, extensive research allows us to
apply objective, technical expertise, innovative approaches, and sound business judgment to help solve complex economic and financial problems.
WE OFFER ASSISTANCE IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
Business loss engagements involve cases in many areas
including fire loss, business loss related to other physical
problems, anti-trust or other restraints of trade, and personal
injury or wrongful death of a business owner or principal

business to determine how they previously conducted
their business and to get an understanding of their current
limitations, restrictions and potential.
Our work in this area of litigation involves document examination,
transaction tracing, business consultation and the
examination of accounting records. Our services can help
provide evidence as to missing assets or hidden transactions.
We assist in the tracing of funds to help determine jointlyheld

We provide business valuations for divorce proceedings,
business dissolutions, buy-sell agreements, estate planning,
insolvency/bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, purchase
or sale of business and for general information purposes.
We apply techniques recognized by evaluators
throughout the country and back our valuations with expert
testimony provided by seasoned professionals.

We provide general consultation on cases, calculation of
damages for wage loss, including present value analysis,
loss of personal service, costs of care, time loss and other
