A Security and Legal Consultancy

SecureLaw LLC provides expert witness and litigation support in security and public safety.  As managing member, please allow me to re-introduce myself to friends and colleagues. As a former tactical officer in Gang Crime Enforcement with the Chicago Police Department in one of the nation’s most dynamic policing environments, I understand the complexities of policing urban areas—and how crime directly impacts security and public safety.As an attorney with twenty-five years of experience representing police unions, security guard and electronic security firms, my perspective is grounded on real-world legal and business experience, and supplemented by training police officials at acclaimed institutions including Northwestern University- Center for Public Safety, and International Law Enforcement Academy. Coupled with a doctorate in Public Policy Analysis, I bring a layered and nuanced understanding of how policies shape incentives and influence human behavior. All of these impact risk and liability.A brief summary of areas of expertise include:

  •  Premises Liability/Negligent Security– Engaged in more than 30 cases for both plaintiff and defense counsel. Author of comprehensive case book dealing with security laws and liability entitled: Security Law & Methods: https://lnkd.in/eFi7tkVQ

  • Terrorism & Extremism– Having studied terrorism and extremism for decades, including being involved in two raids on the notorious El Rukn fort, I bring both real world and academic perspective. This includes developing and teaching terrorism classes to police officers and security personnel, and having earned certifications in terrorism indicators and prevention from U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Author of two books dealing with terrorism and extremism:

  • Private Policing– Considered one of the nation’s leading authorities on private policing, founded on my 2001 doctorate dissertation, which led to a groundbreaking book, along with publications in ASIS International’s Protection of Assets Manual, and Privatization of Policing Bibliography for Oxford University Press. Author of:


    The Privatization of Police in America: https://lnkd.in/e2-ZJ2bP

Going forward, I offer a unique “security sense,” blended with street-level policing intuition, academic scholarship, legal expertise, technical know-how, and enhanced by a deep understanding of geopolitical trends…If you need help, feel free to reach out to SecureLaw LLC or visit my website at https://lnkd.in/eMeCEUKp
