Additional Information

As founder and lead expert of Valentine Forensic Finance, I bring a proven track record in delivering clear, credible, and defensible economic opinions for litigation. With a Ph.D. in Finance from Mississippi State University, a Graduate Certificate in FinTech from Wharton (University of Pennsylvania), and a Graduate Certificate in AI from Wharton, my expertise blends rigorous academic training with practical courtroom experience. Over the course of my career, I have served as an expert witness in personal injury and wrongful death economic damages cases, wrongful termination claims, general financial damages disputes, cryptocurrency asset valuation and fraud cases, and credit damage matters. My analyses are grounded in accepted forensic economic methodologies, supported by peer-reviewed research, and tailored to withstand cross-examination. My work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and USA Today and has even influenced public health policy abroad. In addition to my expert witness practice, I lead the Academy of Business Research, a global organization of more than 1,000 members across 35 countries, further reflecting my standing in the academic and professional finance community. Attorneys choose me for my ability to take complex financial issues—ranging from lost earnings projections to cryptocurrency valuation—and translate them into clear, jury-friendly testimony backed by sound evidence and economic principles. Whether calculating damages in a wrongful death case or tracing assets in a blockchain investigation, my role is to provide objective, well-supported opinions that strengthen your case.
