Mr. Theodore J Menadier BSBA, MBA
I am an expert in the business and cultivation of marijuana and hemp.
Over the last four years, I have been retained and provided expert services in over 30 cases and insurance claims. I have experience providing opinions in both State and Federal courts and testifying at depositions and trials.
My mix of industry experience and business education (MBA) makes me uniquely qualified to address many issues within the Marijuana and Hemp industries. My business education allows me to analyze markets and a business’s strengths and weaknesses and assess economic impacts in a manner supported by relevant industry, market data, and other relevant documentation.
In addition to continuing expert witness case work, I maintain relationships throughout the cannabis industry and have the credentials to work within it to stay up to date as the industry evolves.
My experience in indoor and outdoor cannabis cultivation and business practices gives me first-hand knowledge of industry practices. I can articulate an educated, clear opinion in many areas of the hemp and marijuana industries.
