A Message From Our Principal

With 35 years in Law Enforcement and Security Operations, I offer an uniquely qualified perspective in litigation. As a retired New York City Department of Correction Officer, I bring first-hand Institutional knowledge few can match involving Adult Corrections, Jails, Prisons, Conditions of Confinement, and Negligent Physical Security. Today, I serve as an Expert Witness— “One of the very Few, and Perhaps the Sole— former Rikers Island Correction Officers providing specialized litigation support across the United States.”
