ACS provides professional consulting and engineering services to corporate and governmental clients as well as to attorneys and insurance claims agencies.  These services relate to the analysis of complex facilities from the planning stage to mature facilities that either do not function properly, or are in need of renovation or retrofit.  

Actiing as a litigation consultant or expert witness in the evaluation of facility systems that have either failed or are the subject of disputes of some form, ACS utilizes over 30 years experience gained in the design and analysis of similiar projects to analyze the situation and objectively render difinitive opinions in terms of cause/effect.  These services are typically provided to the legal profession on behalf of their clients, although ACS is occasionally directly engaged by one of the participants in a dispute.  Mr Acorn has successfully represented both plaintiffs and defendants throughout the U.S. and in Asia with claims ranging in scope to over $250 million.
