Do you have a case involving physical violence?

I specialize in deconstruction of violence captured on video. Like accident reconstruction, I can reconstruct and articulate the details of a violent situation. Details, actions and reactions that others will miss.  I not only offer the service of report writing detailing what occurred in a violent event, but I've also testified in court.

I am adept at identifying and explaining to the layman:
    What happened on the tape
    The patterns of  conflict/violence
    The nuances that lead to violence and
    Perceptual changes humans undergo during conflict

I also address how during a conflict -- and under the physiological and psychological changes humans undergo during adrenal response -- an action can be interpreted as aggressive movement (e.g. perceived vs. real threat). At the same time I can identify danger signs and actions that citizens do not know or recognize (especially with incidents involving weapons).  These actions however, often elicit an immediate response from individuals who are experienced with violence and assaultive behavior.

In short, I see things on video that most people don't -- especially during the violence itself. When articulated, these details are plain to see and their significance easily understood.

Initial consultation/Video review - No charge
Preliminary report: $1000 (including second by second analysis of the video)
Deposition: $200 an hour
Testify: $300 and hour plus travel expenses.
