The Role of an Expert Witness in Administrative, Civil, and Criminal Securities Cases
Judge Learned Hand once said that “[t]he whole object of an expert is to tell the jury, not facts, as we have seen, but general truths derived from his specialized experience” and courts have held that “[t]he regulation of securities is not within the purview of the average ‘untrained layman’ nor, for that matter, most legally trained professionals. An overview of what is a security, and how securities are regulated, by someone with ‘specialized understanding of the subject, provides jurors with valuable context for understanding, and determining — for the ultimate determination is, most assuredly, theirs — whether particular transactions violated criminal laws prohibiting securities fraud.”

My Value
I have served as a testifying and consulting expert, prepared expert reports, and testified in front of juries and grand juries in several criminal and administrative proceedings regarding the state and federal securities laws for state securities regulators, state prosecutors, and criminal defendants. I have also helped state securities regulators and state and county prosecutors develop their trial strategy. My credibility and effectiveness as an expert - and the lengths that an opposing counsel will take to prevent me from testifying - is well documented.
