My CV in traditional format (PDF).

"Freelancing” since 2000, I have worked on litigation projects large and small as an Attorney & CPA, combining traditional legal practice with forensic accounting and complex discovery management. In addition, my exceptional communication, presentation and written skills have made me in demand as a speaker on topics relating to accounting and the law -- at professional programs for lawyers and as training for forensic accountants.

As a “Big 8” staff auditor, during the late 1980s, I started my wonderfully exceptional career.

As I summer associate during law school, a few years later, I was introduced to the work of representing investors in class-action securities litigation. During that first summer, I evaluated complaints alleging violation of accounting standards, analyzed audit workpapers and corporate documents, and assisted co-counsel depose a Big 8 auditor. With enthusiasm, I demonstrated to the litigation team why the accounts receivable documentation work was indeed “hot.” A niche was born.

During my earliest years in the law with firm Abbey & Ellis (now Abbey, Spanier et al.), I assisted prosecution of class action securities and shareholder litigation. I then took a different perspective, working with D’Amato & Lynch, representing AIG / National Union on matters concerning coverage under D&O and Professional Liability Policies (attorneys and accountants) as well as corporate fidelity bonds. It was my participation in a worldwide financial investigation which rekindled my interest in participating more directly with forensic-style accounting and utilizing my unique combination of skills.
