Introduction
With over three decades of experience in Law Enforcement and Security Operations, I bring a rare and highly specialized perspective to litigation support involving Adult Corrections, Prisons, Jails and Conditions of Confinement. As a retired New York City Department of Corrections Officer, I have transitioned into a career as an Expert Witness–an uncommon path that sets me apart in this field. "One of the few–perhaps the sole, former Rikers Island officers offering Expert Witness Support in the United States.
