Our litigation support and expert testimony services are led by H. Sean Mathis, who has more than 25 years of advisory, principal investing and business/management experience. Mr. Mathis's extensive professional background includes:

• Advisory: As co-founder and Managing Director of Miller Mathis, Managing Director at Morgan Joseph & Co. and Financo, and senior investment banker at Lehman Bros., Mr. Mathis has executed numerous M&A, corporate finance and restructuring transactions.
  
  
• Business Management: Mr. Mathis has served as a senior executive officer or chairman of companies such as Universal Gym Equipment, Ameriscribe, RCL, and UPI, and has served on the Board of Directors of ten companies.
  
  
• Principal Investing: Mr. Mathis was the founder and President of Litchfield Asset Holdings, an investment advisory firm, and was a Managing Director at International Finance Group, First City Financial and Jessup & Lamont, all of which were merchant banking institutions.

Mr. Mathis's operating background and business acumen bring a "real-world" dimension to the work Miller Mathis performs on behalf of its litigation support clients that contrasts sharply with the strictly technical approach of most financial experts. The resulting combination of Miller Mathis's rigorous financial analysis and Mr. Mathis's expert business judgment is one that resonates strongly with judges in complex cases. Indeed, Mr. Mathis's credibility and persuasiveness as an expert witness are such that, unusually, judges note the caliber of his testimony when rendering their decisions (see left sidebar).

Our litigation support and expert testimony practice also includes Herbert Morey, CPA, an expert on accounting and audit-related issues with over 40 years of experience at Ernst & Young.
