Litigation Services Handbook, Fourth Edition is referred to as the litigation bible. Its nearly 50 chapters read like a who's who in law and accounting. The handbook includes all aspects of litigation services, including current environments, the process itself, a wealth of cases, how to prove damages, and practical considerations of court appearances. The new edition has a heavy focus on fraud investigations and complying with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.

This is an autobiography, done as only the "first person singular" can do it. It's not written for reasons of ego. God knows, if you read it you'll see what an awkward, ambling, stumbling life story is told here. But so far, those stumbles have mostly been forward and interesting. Therein lies the story. This "in-between" generation rascal missed the "Beat Generation," and was too old to be a "Baby Boomer." There wasn't a discernable movement or cultural attitude for those who lived in-between. They had to make it up as they went along. This is the meandering story of one of those "Betweeners."

In the last twenty years, the need for a financial expert to act as a witness and consultant to litigating attorneys has grown even more than litigation itself. This handbook includes all aspects of litigation services, including current environments, the process itself, a wealth of cases, how to prove damages, and practical considerations of court appearances. It thoroughly covers the fine points of trial preparation and testimony presentation. Also, discussion is offered for understanding Sarbanes-Oxley rulings and fraud investigations. Accountants and attorneys working in litigation will benefit from this book.

Have you ever unwittingly unleashed a primal scream? Have your contemplations and frustrations, suppressed by the day's activities, ever incubated into conscious thought? Demon ruminations prefer to emerge as one's head hits the pillow. Rather than suffer through the unwillingness of such ruminations to dissipate, this author got out of bed and put his demon to work. Wagner's collected "pillow screams," riffs, rants, explorations and opinions, are his forum. Instead of button-holing friends, or writing letter-to-the-editor, he sat, wrote and vented into a computer file; often, not long after his bedtime. Some of the ideas contained herein are so volatile that for many years he hid them away. But hold on tight! He's decided to share his thrills, agonies, and the contemplations often suffered by those with opinions. You may not agree with him, but you'll surely meet the man and know him by his earnest thoughts.
