I am currently booked with full-time retainers; however, depending on the details of your case, I may consider being retained as either an expert witness, forensic analyst, or consultant.
The general terms of an engagement requires an expectation of 80 hours of work/consultation at $500 per hour, with an initial retainer of $30,000. All engagements must be signed by your law firm as the responsible paying party.
I am limited to one tech editing book and one ghost writing engagement per year. Rates and fees are unique to the book. If you have a current project and would like my help in tech editing or ghost writing, contact me for availability. I am open to have my name in your book as a tech editor, co-author, or completely unnamed as a ghost writer. Until further notice, I cannot take on any new tech editing or ghost writing engagements. I will be consider engagements beginning in 2024 in order for me to complete the current engagements. I have 3 books in the works to finish until then...
Courses and workshops include topics such as:
Placing the Suspect Behind the Keyboard | (2-days) Innovative investigative methods for computer-facilitated crimes.
Open Source Intelligence for Law Enforcement | (1-day) Using the Internet to bolster criminal investigations (Advanced searches, "Dark Web", tracing suspects in real time in real life, etc...).
Covert Acquisitions | (2-day) Intensive, hands-on workshop on covertly acquiring electronic data under realistic scenarios involving search warrants and national security matters. Law enforcement only.
Courses/workshops are hosted by one or more agencies where the agency receives up to 5 free seats in the training. Registration fees vary depending on the course requirements and course length.
I have spoken on a variety of computer crime topics to a wide range of audiences, in several countries. No speaking engagement is too large or too small.
For CONUS engagements, my speaking fee is $5,000 per day plus expenses. OCONUS fees are $10,000 per day plus expenses. Virtual engagements are $1,500 per day.
Air travel requirements are business class (or first class if business is not available).
I may be available for non-profit events in the Greater Seattle area at a reduced fee.
