| I bring decades of business and legal experience in insurance and financial services to my expert assignments.
I began my professional career as a trial lawyer at the Securities and Exchange Commission, and practiced corporate law in New York City before joining MetLife, where I held a variety of legal, planning and executive positions including Assistant General Counsel, VP for Corporate Planning & Development, VP for Investment & Fiduciary Services, Chief Brokerage Executive, and President & CEO of MetLife Marketing Corporation.
My insurance-related experience spans corporate governance, insurance and securities regulation, diversification into auto, homeowners and reinsurance, new health insurance/HMO alternatives, new life insurance and annuity product development, retained asset accounts (as the product's inventor and head of the business unit that turned the concept into a $10+ billion business), creating and expanding new distribution systems, and new marketing initiatives. The 200+ person business I headed (and turned around) essentially operated as a self-contained insurance company -- with its own dedicated actuarial, marketing, medical, product development, sales, and underwriting teams, and profitably generated approximately 15% of MetLife's new individual life and annuity premium by the time I elected to retire early.
I later served as a consultant to several leading insurance and financial services companies (including MetLife) and became Founder & CEO of Advice Company, which became a pioneering Internet company whose websites (including www.FreeAdvice.com) provide legal and insurance information to well over 10 million consumers each year. I am also a partner a law firm (see www.AdvocateLawGroup.com) which primarily represents consumers in insurance-related matters. I have chaired numerous American, New York City and California State Bar Association committees, and currently chair the Life Insurance subcommittee of a California State Bar committee.
I have had the pleasure of working with outstanding lawyers for plaintiffs and defendants, and for government agencies (such as the DOJ, IRS and SEC) as an expert or consultant in litigation involving corporate and agent conduct, life insurance and annuity product issues, and senior and viatical settlements. However, as I have numerous other business and professional responsibilities, expert witness work represents a small fraction of my overall business and professional activity. |
