Experience:

Finance expert retained when a financial model, spreadsheet, or digital document is central to a dispute and counsel needs to know whether the file is what it claims to be. I examine the internal architecture of Microsoft Excel workbooks, Word documents, and PowerPoint files — not just what appears on screen, but how the file was actually built. I identify formula overrides, hidden sheets, pattern breaks, external dependencies, and indicators of AI-assisted or programmatic file generation. I also provide expert analysis on financial modeling methodology, cryptocurrency and digital asset valuation, portfolio risk, lending practices, and real estate finance.
