Engaging with Forensic Security Experts, Tom Demont and Mark Stuart

In this episode… Today, we feature two guests on the show: Tom Demont and Mark Stuart. Mr. Demont is the President of Technical Services, Inc., and a 50-year veteran of the locksmithing and security professions. He has written for numerous trade publications and is an experienced expert witness.  Mr. Stuart is the President of Associated Lock Forensics, a full-service expert witness consulting firm; and Emerald Coast Fire Door Inspections. He is a locksmith as well and holds a JD from Woodrow Wilson College of Law. Obtaining and maintaining certifications is the key to credibility with engaging attorneys, according to our guests. In trades like locksmithing, certifications take the place of academic credentials, and quickly communicate your wheelhouse, and your commitment to staying current in your field. Check out the entire episode for our discussion on billing for different activities, going to settlement, and developing conclusions in expert reports.
