Expert Witness & Litigation Support

Not only do we provide forensic accounting and prepare business valuations but we also testify on behalf of these services.

Forensic Accounting

Forensic accounting is a combination of both accounting expertise and investigation skills which provide for an effective examination of a companies’ financials to be used in legal proceedings or in court.

What Documents Should Counsel Provide When Retaining a Forensic Accountant?

Provide financial statements, tax returns (personal and business), bank and brokerage statements, corporate records, and any existing valuations or appraisals. In divorce matters, complete asset-and-liability disclosures are also essential. The earlier counsel produces documents, the more time the forensic accountant has to identify gaps, issue subpoenas for missing records, and deliver a fully supported opinion before key deadlines.

When in the Litigation Timeline Should Counsel Retain a Forensic Accountant?

Retain the expert as early as possible — ideally before discovery closes. Early retention allows the forensic accountant to shape discovery requests, identify the financial records that matter most, and avoid costly supplemental analysis later. In divorce cases with hidden assets, early retention also permits emergency subpoenas and injunctive support. Waiting until trial preparation significantly limits the scope of defensible analysis.

Roadmap for building Value

Should Valuation and Damages Be Separate Engagements?

Not necessarily. In many cases — such as shareholder disputes or commercial litigation — the same forensic accountant can address both business valuation and economic damages within a single engagement, which reduces cost and ensures consistency across opinions. However, in some matters the two analyses require distinct methodologies or separate experts. Joey Friedman will assess your case at the outset and recommend the most efficient, defensible structure for the engagement. Ready to Discuss Your Case?
