TECHNICAL FORENSICS & LITIGATION SUPPORT

---

Certification
Mr. Aiello’s distinguished Certified Forensic Consultant (CFC) designation strengthens the credibility of his testimony, supporting the validity of evidence, the application of specialized knowledge, and the relevance of findings. Technical forensic assignments—such as structure or facility assessments and other independent investigations—often evolve into expert litigation support engagements for ADG, including deposition and trial testimony. Over the past decade, Mr. Aiello has participated in a wide range of litigation matters. A list of relevant matters and Federal Disclosure Form FRE Rule 26 is available upon request.

Progression
Following initial discovery, Mr. Aiello meets with the litigation team to report findings and evaluate the likely causes and effects. Potential issues may include construction defects, deviations from contractual obligations, peer design reviews, or other significant concerns. Drawing on decades of experience in the design and construction industries, he contributes to the team’s analysis and final conclusions.

Introspection
A forensic architect expert must do more than understand construction means, methods, and techniques—it requires disciplined analysis of the information uncovered during investigation. While reviewing discovery data, the analyst must remain aware of personal biases and avoid relying solely on first impressions.

Human thought naturally tends to recognize what it expects to find, which can lead to incomplete or incorrect conclusions. Effective analysis requires questioning assumptions, considering alternative hypotheses, and evaluating opposing scenarios. Over decades as a consulting expert, Peter Aiello has developed a deep awareness of ambiguity and contradiction, and he approaches each matter with the discipline needed to make sound decisions in high-stakes situations.
