Consulting Expert Witness John Haut
Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Consulting Expert Witness John Haut
Sparks, NV – John Haut is a financial and accounting consultant and expert witness with 20 years of experience with working with major firms on high-stakes matters.
Prior to launching his consultancy, John spent over 20 years at Charles River Associates and Compass Lexecon. Today, he brings big firm experience with small firm prices.
John operates at the intersection of law and accounting, but to call him a forensic accountant understates his capabilities. He has done forensic tracing, but he can do far more.
Unlike most CPAs, John can understand both financial and legal aspects of the case, and tailor his analysis to address issues without improperly rendering legal conclusions.
John’s specialties include business valuation, economic damages, securities litigation and shareholder appraisal actions.
In college, John majored in business administration with a concentration finance, which included the full complement of accounting courses. He received his MBA, passed the CPA exam, then attended law school at UCLA to become an attorney.
“That's where I really got into litigation support,” recalls John. “Although I like the law, I love working with numbers. I love to perform analyses, supervise cases, draft expert reports, and create demonstratives for depositions and trial. I’m most proud when my clients are able to resolve the situation favorably without requiring additional testimony and additional cost to their clients.”

Economist Dr. Philip J. Cross of Kenyon Consulting
Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Dr. Philip J. Cross of Kenyon Consulting
Washington, DC – Dr. Philip Cross is the founder of Kenyon Consulting LLC, where he provides economic and statistical consulting services to law firms, businesses, non-profits and government agencies.
Dr. Cross specializes in econometrics, which combines statistical analysis with economic theory to draw inferences about economic outcomes. Dr. Cross has worked on a wide range of litigation matters both on the plaintiff side and the defense side. He says both sides are happy to retain him because they know he will deliver unbiased, scientifically-grounded economic and statistical analysis.
Unlike the economists one might see on cable news, who are typically macroeconomists, Dr. Cross is a microeconomist; he doesn’t study the economics of large entities like countries, but rather the economics of small entities, like workers or customers or firms.
In a wrongful termination lawsuit, for instance, Dr. Cross’s job is to calculate how the worker’s future wages are impacted by the alleged wrongful termination.
Originally from Australia, Dr. Cross has spent 20 years as an economist in academia, government and consulting.
Prior to launching Kenyon Consulting, Dr. Cross taught in the Economics Department at Georgetown University.
“Some of the analysis that I do can be a little bit high tech, and one of the skills of being an expert witness is breaking down technical concepts in a way that a lay audience can understand,” says Dr. Cross. “So when I testify in front of a judge or a jury, I draw on my experience teaching college students, finding the right level of detail to explain what I'm saying in a way for to understand.”
