For over 15 years and on behalf of insurance company clients, I monitored policyholders’ defense counsel’s handling of numerous lawsuits.  A primary function of my monitoring was to determine whether submitted attorney fee and cost billings were reasonable and necessary. Over those many years, I audited, reviewed, analyzed, litigated, arbitrated and mediated millions of dollars of attorney fee billings for all kinds of lawsuits ranging from national/international litigation to statewide liability litigation to local-single party lawsuits involving a multitude of  issues.  As such, I have significant and rare attorney experience supporting my evaluations of the reasonableness of attorney fee billings. Serving as an expert witness for reasonable attorney fee issues was a natural progression for my career.
