Objective Standard-of-Care Analysis for Property Damage Litigation

Backed by 40 Years of Field Expertise. Three IICRC Master Designation and Proven Courtroom Testimony.

The Missing Link in Property Damage Disputes

For 40 years, I operated on the front lines of environmental consulting and property damage restoration. As an IICRC Triple Master (Water, Fire, & Textile) , NAMRI Mold Inspector, and NAIS Infrared Moisture Surveyor, I spent decades of diagnosing complex property losses.

However, over the course of my career, I witnessed a critical breakdown in how these property disputes were resolved.Too often, multi-million-dollar property damage cases and critical insurance disputes are brought before a court using outdated methodologies, subjective opinions, or complete ignorance of evolving industry benchmarks like the IICRC S700 and the upcoming S530 standard.

To address this gap, I made the intentional decision to step away from all public-facing contracting, cleaning, and remediation services. Today, my practice operates exclusively as an independent forensic consultancy serving litigating attorneys.

A Balanced, Trial-Ready Approach for Plaintiff & Defense Counsel

By transitioning from active contractor to an independent forensic specialist, I provide retaining counsel with distinct advantages:

Absolute Technical Objectively: Because I no longer accept contracting or remediation work, my findings are entirely insulated from claims of financial bias. I have zero financial stake in driving up repair cost or securing a remediation contract. My sole product is the objective, scientific truth.
Balance Litigation Support: I am retained equally by Plaintiff and Defense counsel to deliver unassailable, peer-reviewed standard-of-care analysis. Whether evaluating a complex commercial fire loss or cross-examining an opposing witness, my 40 years of experience are fully available to analyze case files, draft bulletproof expert reports, and prepare for rigorous courtroom testimony.

Do not let your case be blindsided by outdated technical arguments. My practice evaluates structural losses through the strict lens of consensus-backed industry standards.

Fire & Smoke Damage (ANSI/IICRC S700): Holding files accountable to the definitive fire restoration standard. Evaluating smoke residue boundaries, testing for hidden char, and assessing complex odor protocols.
Mold & Microbial Disputes (Current ANSI/IICRC S520 & Evolving BSR/IICRC S530): Preparing clients for a massive shift in mold litigation. I utilize current frameworks while analyzing files through the lens of the upcoming S530 assessment protocols to ensure your expert reports remain fully defensible when the case goes to trial tomorrow.
Water Damage Claims (ANSI/IICRC S500): Comprehensive auditing of psychrometric data, moisture mapping, and structural drying logs to verify if contractors or adjusters deviated from standard practices.
Infrared Moisture Surveyor (NAIS): Utilizing advanced thermal imaging and non-destructive testing to uncover hidden structural anomalies, trapping defensive arguments before trial.
