Forensic Toxicology Expert Witness & Case Review

Drawing on more than 31 years at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) crime laboratory, including 14 years as a forensic toxicologist and 13 years as a crime scene analyst, I provide independent analysis, case review, and expert testimony for prosecutors and defense attorneys.

Services

  • Drug toxicology interpretation: DUI/DUID and drug-facilitated sexual assault cases
  • Blood alcohol interpretation: retrograde extrapolation, medical-to-legal (serum/plasma to whole blood) conversions, and number-of-drinks estimates
  • Breath alcohol interpretation
  • Case and procedure review: evaluating whether crime scene and laboratory work in homicide and violent crime cases followed accepted practices and standard operating procedures
  • Forensic document review: laboratory reports, case files, and supporting documentation

How It Works

  1. Initial consultation to discuss your case and the questions you need answered
  2. Review of case materials such as laboratory reports, scene documentation, and records
  3. Written opinion or report when requested
  4. Deposition and trial testimony as needed

My opinions are based on the science, regardless of which side retains me.
