Ms. Newman began her career at Oregon's first CPA firm specializing entirely in forensic accounting. She has evaluated hundreds of litigation cases and insurance claims, including personal injury, wrongful death, business interruption, and patent infringement. She has analyzed more than fifty cases of suspected fraud, employee embezzlement, and financial elder abuse. Her clients include civil plaintiff and defense attorneys, insurance companies, and criminal prosecution and defense attorneys.

In addition to her training and substantial experience as a CPA, Ms. Newman's background in communications allows her to effectively connect with clients, juries, and arbitrators, both in person and through her reports. She believes that clear, direct language is more understandable to the triers of fact -- and ultimately more convincing.
