Why Attorneys Retain Me
Attorneys retain me because I bring something most industrial hygienists and academics cannot. The perspective of someone who personally tried to implement every major silica control—and saw why they failed in a real fabrication shop and during real installations. I translate complex safety and engineering concepts into clear, compelling explanations for judges and juries, providing the following services:
Clear, defensible opinions
Detailed analysis of shop operations
Explanations grounded in everyday experience, not theory
The inside story of how silica exposures happen in modern engineered stonework
Testimony that resonates with juries because it is practical, concrete, and relatable
