California Billing Fraud, Audits, Fees Expert #51517

I have 12 years of experience, and specialize in the field of legal fees with specific knowledge in the areas of legal invoice review, best practices for law firm billing and identifying and eliminating law firm billing. I have published on such topics as ethics and practicalities of block billing, outside counsel billing guidelines and strategies for combating law firm overbilling. I have testified on reasonableness of attorneys’ fees, best practices for law firm billing and reasonableness of law firm hourly rates. For many years, I was lead defense counsel, attorney of record and manager of a billion-dollar multi-jurisdictional toxic tort/asbestos defense portfolio, during which time he managed and supervised lawyers and law firms nationwide, and trained lawyers how to bill ethically and in compliance with client guidelines. Thus, unlike many putative experts, I have first and second-chair trial experience, have taken and defended literally hundreds of expert depositions, and successfully argued for and against the exclusion of experts seeking to testify live or via declaration, so I understand the needs of counsel and the practicalities of expert discovery in the context of complex, high-stakes litigation.
