Litigation relating to various types of fraud is fairly common and it is seldom that an investigative or security expert is required. In some unusual cases, however, there may be a need for an expert to function as a litigation consultant or even testify as an expert.

Over the years, Mr. Schmedlen has been involved in many fraud matters in a consulting and investigative role--both throughout North America and abroad. Although many of these matters resulted in civil and/or criminal actions, he has only been retained as an independent litigation consultant on one case, thus far.

Although he is a Certified Fraud Examiner, Mr. Schmedlen admittedly is not qualified to function as an expert in all types of financial fraud cases and will only accept cases of this type where he would qualify as an expert.

As noted elsewhere on this Web site, Mr. Schmedlen has extensive experience and expertise in two specific types of fraud: Warranty Fraud and Gray Market Fraud. However, additionally he is experienced in some other fields of fraud.
