Philip is resourceful, efficient, attuned to the needs of the client, and acts on matters expeditiously. Extremely pleasant guy to work with. Highly recommended.

Erick Gunawan

Phil and I worked together in establishing some of the firmwide forensics goto market initiative and strategy in Singapore. He is well connected in the region and a hard worker by nature. He brought in one of the biggest forensics engagements the firm ever had. I would gladly recommend Phil to any firm.
