Curriculum Vitae
I assist clients with serious injuries that occur on income-producing properties, toxic mold in residential and properties, premises liability, life-safety issues, wrongful death, and standard of care in multi-family properties. My expertise mainly in property management is based on my many years of working with property managers, regional managers, lead maintenance staff, and vendors, as I navigated potential liabilities, life-safety issues, and business operations with the skill and knowledge requisite for the management of multiple and diverse properties. My professional consulting services provide pre-litigation investigation and opinions based on my knowledge and research along with my extensive background in the Property Management Industry along with having many credentials and awards in my industry.

I highly recommend Scott Bennett as a multi-family expert witness. I am an expert witness as well, and when a case is referred to me that I cannot take for whatever reason, I always refer the attorney to Mr. Bennett. Mr. Bennett is highly qualified, educated, and experienced in the multi-family area of property management. Mr. Bennett will perform above and beyond expectations.

Mr. Bennett has been a pleasure to work with in our case. He came into the case during a rough spot when a previous expert had to medically retire. When Mr. Bennett picked up the case, he quickly and efficiently made it his own and provided an extremely detailed report. Mr. Bennett’s responsiveness and attention to detail is obvious for anyone that does work with him. I would highly recommend Mr. Bennett for anyone looking for a thoughtful and careful analysis of their case.

I am the owner and principal consultant for J-2 Security Services. I have worked with Mr. Bennett as co-experts on civil cases, and I find him to be extremely professional and knowledgeable in the field of property management and safety/security. He is well respected by attorneys and other experts as well. Mr. Bennett is a pleasure to work with and a true credit to his field.

Scott Bennett and I have collaborated on dozens of premises liability cases over the past ten years. Scott is an exceptional expert who brings extraordinary knowledge, insight, experience and problem-solving skills to premises security and management cases. I would recommend Scott Bennett with my greatest enthusiasm.
