Independent fire & life safety consulting.Practical·defensible·nationwide.
Former Fire Marshals reviewing the systems, records, and code compliance that keep buildings open and occupants safe. A clear, third-party read on where a property stands.
Three focused services.
One outcome — a defensible position.
Hotel ITM Reviews

Independent technical analysis and expert review for counsel — standard of care, causation context, and code interpretation.
- Document & records review
- Code interpretation & standard-of-care opinions
- Reports & testimony-ready findings
An impartial read carries weight that an internal one cannot
When findings come from a third party with no stake in the outcome — and no enforcement role — they hold up. To owners. To insurers. To boards. To the court.
-
No conflict of interest
We never sell, install, or maintain fire systems. Our only product is the assessment — so the finding is the finding.
-
The enforcement perspective
Our reviewers held the Fire Marshal's authority. They know how a record reads to the AHJ — before you're standing in front of one.
-
Defensible documentation
Every finding is traced to a standard and a record. The report is built to be read in a deposition, not just a meeting.
-
Consistent across jurisdictions
One methodology applied from Florida to British Columbia — so a portfolio reads the same way no matter where the building sits.
A technical reviewer your opposing expert will recognize
When fire and life safety is at issue in premises-liability or insurance litigation, the value of an opinion turns on the credibility of who gives it. Our reviewers have held the regulatory seat — and can explain, plainly, what a reasonable operator should have known and done.
- Pre-suit case assessment & merit screening
- Standard-of-care & code-interpretation opinions
- Report preparation & deposition support
Our team combines legal experience, decades of Fire Marshal expertise, and comprehensive knowledge of all types of fire and life safety codes.
