Each prospective matter is evaluated for subject-matter fit, independence, conflicts, and the ability to provide a well-supported opinion within the requested scope.

- Ransomware, cyber extortion, and data theft
- Unauthorized access and computer intrusions
- Cyber fraud, identity theft, and cyber-enabled crime
- Online child exploitation and internet-facilitated offenses
- Cybersecurity standards, controls, policies, and organizational practices

Methodical
Analysis distinguishes evidence, assumptions, professional judgment, and limitations.
Understandable
Technical issues are explained accurately without hiding behind jargon or oversimplifying key points.
Initial inquiries
Discuss a matter confidentially.
Share the general nature of the matter, jurisdiction, relevant deadlines, parties needed for a conflicts check, and the type of support sought.
