Engaging with Security and Legal Expert, Dr. James Pastor
In this episode…
Dr. James Pastor is the principal expert at SecureLaw LLC, a security and legal consultancy. He's a security expert with a broad background, ranging from police work to academia. He's a published author, a sought-after public speaker and of course, an expert witness. Dr. Pastor holds a PhD in public policy analysis.
Do not, under any circumstance, work without a retainer, according to Dr. Pastor. He believes that your credibility and the engaging lawyer’s respect for your experience are embodied in retainers, and agreeing to one gets the employee-expert relationship off on the right foot.
