Ted Menadier, MBA provides expert witness services in litigation involving cannabis, marijuana and hemp cultivation, crop loss, crop valuation, business operations, insurance claims, testing, classification and related industry matters.
Background

He holds an MBA, which informs his work on crop valuation, market pricing, production capacity and lost revenue. That combination of growing experience and business training is what he brings to expert work.

Scope
What Ted does not do.
Clear limits save time for counsel and keep opinions defensible.
- Ted does not provide legal advice and is not counsel for any party.
- Ted does not hold himself out as a business valuation or business appraisal expert.
- Ted does not hold himself out as a molecular genetics or plant-genetics laboratory expert; specialized genetic evaluation may require another expert.
- Ted is not a CPA, forensic accountant or economist. Economic-loss work stays within crop value, production loss, market pricing and lost revenue.
- Scope is determined by the facts and issues of each engagement, and matters outside his experience are declined early.
