The range of accounting issues involved in court disputes today covers so many aspects of finance that veteran CPAs like those at Stanislawski & Company are in high demand.

CPA litigation services encompass several roles, and we fully comprehend how to adhere to applicable standards, rules, and laws when engaging the following: 

• Expert Witness - a specialist who may present an opinion without having been a witness to any occurrence relating to the lawsuit or criminal case

• Consultant - an adviser who does not testify but informs

• Other - a trier of fact, special master, court-appointed expert, referee, arbitrator or mediator.

Being able to deal with the unexpected is a key part of how we perform as an expert witness. Opposing counsel usually will try to build a case around its own experts rather than attack a witness who is poised and objective.

Fees vary depending on the complexity and needs of the client’s case. Before accepting an assignment, we analyze the scope of the case. A fee schedule allows for the possibility that the workload may increase/decrease as a result of case changes or out of court settlements.

CPAs willing to endure having their professional lives scrutinized in the public arena of a courtroom means that experience, skills, acumen, and results must be exceptional.  That is the team at Stanislawski & Company.
