Witness Background Research
“The Kanter Consulting Group team was instrumental in setting up and leveraging our clients’ claims in litigation crossing multiple cases involving the same parties. Brad’s reporting and key deposition testimony in the shareholder derivative component of the cases was critically important in achieving significant concessions from the other side in advance of a major evidentiary hearing on injunction and appointment of receiver requests.
Brad’s testimony was so compelling that our opposing counsel actually proposed to use Brad and his team to serve as the company’s CPA going forward and to conduct a retrospective accounting of the company’s finances and reporting as a compromise alternative to the appointment of a costly receiver. The Kanter team not only got us incredible ammunition to push our position forward, which led to outstanding results, but did so in an easy-to-manage and collaborative process on a time and cost efficient basis and under tight time constraints.
I highly recommend the Kanter team for litigation support and expert services in the field. Brad’s strategic mindset and broad skill set are a smart match for complex cases that involve many moving parts. For example, in our case, Brad undertook fraud examiner/auditing duties as well as business valuation issues. Having Kanter serve this dual role not only kept the cost to our client down, but it also helped us avoid mis-steps in each expert category because both areas were game-planned together.”
“I am a local attorney who has practiced law for approximately 41 years. have had the privilege of using the Kanter Consulting Group as forensic experts in civil litigation, including dissolution of marriage and fraud/embezzlement. I would unconditionally refer them.
In a recent divorce case concerning a client who enjoyed a very substantial annual income, including bonuses, we used Kanter Consulting Group to prepare an expert analysis and report concerning the unsustainability of the current level of temporary alimony. Brad Kanter testified at the trial. We were able to obtain a satisfactory ruling from the Court.
We also recently represented a client who, as an officer and director of a local homeowner’s association, was falsely accused of embezzlement. With Brad Kanter’s forensic review of all of the Association’s bank accounts, we were able to convince law enforcement and the Association that she was innocent of any wrongdoing. This is remarkable given that opposing counsel, who is very experienced in these matters, alleged that it was the worst case of embezzlement that he had ever seen in his practice.
I will use Kanter Consulting Group in the future for any of my forensic CPA needs.”
