One measure of both peer recognition and the willingness and ability to put ourselves out in public forums, is our comfort level and experience with presenting lectures, speeches and other presentations to a wide range of professional and business groups. These speeches tend to involve various aspects of financial investigations, business valuations and related tax and financial planning issues. In addition, for the more general audiences, presentations on tax and financial planning outside of the litigation arena.
Some of the groups to which we have made presentations include:
- American Institute of CPAs – National Litigation Conferences
- American Institute of CPAs – National Valuation Conference
- New Jersey Society of CPAs (and other CPA Societies)
- New Jersey Judicial College
