Retired New York City Police Department Captain Edward Mamet founded ECJM Consultants Inc. in 1998, after completing forty years service in police work. His group provides high quality, cost-effective police and security practices expertise to clients on a variety of law enforcement and security related issues. ECJM Consultants Inc. specializes in law enforcement and security liability matters, supporting both plaintiff and defense attorneys. Before deciding to assign a case to an ECJM expert, we will take the time to have a full discussion with potential clients, free of charge.

Most ECJM experts are retired New York City Police Department command officers whose combined experience exceeds 125 years in law enforcement and security. Upon analysis of the materials supplied, the reviewing expert will offer a fair, impartial and clearly explained evaluation. A written report will be prepared, if required. Should the opinion be helpful, the expert will also be available for deposition and trial.

ECJM Consultants Inc. experts will provide an early assessment of a case, regardless of review time required, for a predetermined fee. This innovative service means early, initial consultation with experts in a manner previously unavailable at such low cost. Early case assessment facilitates better client decision making regarding whether and how to proceed.

Each expert is available to provide a thorough review of all case material, at the usual time rates. If the expert is in agreement with the client and is able to testify, clients are not required to continue after the early case assessment. Some clients may want to retain ECJM Consultants Inc. experts in expectation of trial. For those requiring expert opinion in the early stages of the case, the early case assessment service is the best option.

To initially review a case, ECJM Consultants Inc. needs the following: (1) a letter of engagement outlining the case and (2) copies of the complaint, interrogatories, depositions, statements, photos, reports and any other non-confidential information required to form an opinion.

After review of the material, a member of ECJM Consultants Inc. will contact the client with his first impressions of the case and will inform the client whether ECJM Consultants Inc. can be supportive. If the expert can assist and the client decides to retain ECJM Consultants Inc. for future use, a consultant agreement will be sent to the client for execution. At that time, an advance fee for additional work to be performed will be required.
