The bulk of my consulting work consists of on-going relationships with various
paternity and forensic DNA testing laboratories.
Many of these labs use DNA·VIEW and/or
PATER specialized software packages that I have
written for DNA identification analysis.
I supply software solutions and statistical expertise.
At any given time ten or twenty such accounts are relatively active.
They are spread around the world US, South America,
Europe, and the Far East which means that I have a de facto hobby of
travel whether I am tired of it or not.
I sporadically consult on particular cases, brought to me usually by an
attorney but on occasion by a party in the case. Matters include
analysis and/or testimony in

Free advice to people with paternity problems might plausibly qualify
as well, but then so might helping their adversaries. My experience
has led me to the conclusion that I would not make the world a better
place by setting up an information kiosk. Therefore ...
I occasionally help individuals either directly or through an
attorney but only on a professional basis. In the unlikely
event that you would like my professional assistance please contact me by
telephone or email to discuss fees and retainer.
