Consulting

With 25 years experience as a fingerprint/footwear examiner and 12 years as a crime scene investigator, along with international certifications in each of these disciplines, I possess the knowledge, skills and abilities to assist you with your cases.  Whether you have a difficult comparison or need a fresh look at a challenging case, Black & White Forensics is here for you.  We are here to assist law enforcement, prosecutors, defense attorneys and other stakeholders in understanding what the evidence means - or may not mean - in a given case.  We can also conduct casework audits as a quality assurance mechanism so that both agency managers and bench examiners understand the quality of work being performed for their communities.

 "Issues in Forensic Fingerprint Examination" is a 2-hour presentation designed primarily for attorneys.  The following material will be covered and attendees will gain an understanding of how to work with a fingerprint expert to better prepare their cases.   

• Examination methodology

• Documentation issues

• Articulation of conclusions

• Recent legal challenges

• Direct and cross-examination guidance
