Financial irregularities at Tadano Construction Company in Houston led to the discovery of a $9 million fraud, in-house counsel on the run, a surprising comics con involving rare issues such as All Star Comics #3.

The Certified Fraud Examiners at Asterion have the skills and 360° perspective to analyze complex financial trails and communicate the story behind the numbers in simply stated language that leads to results.
When you prepare for litigation, do you consider the last step before taking the first?
Litigation is risky and uncertain. Before you file a lawsuit, get a clear indication on the range of damages and the financial costs of obtaining them. Not only do you need to get agreements in writing, as Chris Mondics of the Philadelphia Inquirer points out in a recent Law Review column. A considered understanding of possible outcomes is also essential.
Asterion professionals frequently analyze the financial impact of disputes for plaintiffs and defendants. We assist counsel and help litigants make sound business decisions at every stage the litigation process.
