SEO Expert Witness Services
Understanding the Internet, search engines, SEO, web traffic, online reputation, and digital marketing issues in legal proceedings can be challenging. With over 25 years in the SEO industry, I have worked with law firms, lawyers, entrepreneurs, corporations, and litigators looking for authoritative insight into internet-related disputes.

Why hire me for your legal proceedings?

Guidance Beyond the Courtroom
Businesses also seek my counsel to better understand potential legal risks and disputes in the online space. I’m not a lawyer, and my advice does not replace advice from a practicing legal professional. My role is to provide insight into SEO, websites, online marketing, Internet standards, traffic, search visibility, and related digital issues.
I am also willing to tell you what you may not want to hear. On more than one occasion, small businesses have contacted me about possible SEO-related legal claims where, in my opinion, they appeared unlikely to have a strong case. In those situations, an honest preliminary assessment can save time, money, and frustration.
When your legal matter requires input from an SEO specialist or Internet marketing expert witness, I’m available to help.
