ATTENTION ATTORNEYS AND CLAIMS MANAGERS

If you are involved in collector car litigation, my expertise regarding restoration, gross overcharge, tax and business matters, unfair claims, marital dissolution, witness preparation, discovery and evidence collection, may be valuable. I consult on any case and give a general overview that could save unnecessary expense or surprises during trial. I testify only in cases I believe in. My early involvement could save thousands if you have cause of action or are defending unreasonable charges or valuation.

I have been retained by car owners, insurance companies, major collectors, museums, government agencies, restoration shops and am available worldwide having served clients in Mexico, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia, and the US. I travel extensively and may be in your area and available to consult or appraise.
