EP Forensic & Valuation Services is a full-service certified public accounting partnership with offices in Los Angeles,
Ontario, and Redlands, California. Our areas of special expertise include forensic accounting, fraud audit, fraud
examination, financial investigation, valuation services, and expert witness services. We serve all of Southern
California from headquarters in the Inland Empire, with specialized knowledge and expertise in the counties of Los
Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside.

Our subpoena practice is a specialty skill within the financial
forensics service line.
The power to penetrate a party's bank account is a formidable
capability in financial litigation. If the theory of your case is true,
credible independent evidence supporting the theory will be
discovered in the party's bank, brokerage, or other financial accounts.
Such records are incredibly persuasive to a judge or jury. One
cancelled check can overcome hours of excuses rendered in oral
testimony.
Moreover, when you access a person's banking records, you never
know what you'll find. Often previously unknown defendants are
discovered, and new causes of action may be established.
Based on our extensive background in investigative accounting, we
are able to tell you which banks or other financial institutions should be
subpoenaed, and what you should expect to find there.
We are able to craft highly incisive descriptions of the data or material
to be produced, based upon the particular facts of a case, to avoid the
appearance of a "fishing expedition."
We maintain ongoing contact with the legal order processing
departments of every major bank in the State. We know the clerks by
name, and they know who we are. Consequently our subpoenas get
returned more promptly and more completely than others.
We know the specialized terminology of the industry, and are able to
communicate persuasively to overcome typical challenges, and assure
full and timely compliance with our subpoenas.
We handle all requisite consumer notices.
We assist in the opposition to motions to quash and objections to
production.
When the information and documentation is returned from the bank,
we already know what we are looking for, so we can effectively and
efficiently analyze the data and prepare it for trial or arbitration.
Business records do not lie.
People do.
In commercial litigation the most reliable
information comes from neutral third-
parties: people and organizations who
have no reason to withhold information or
distort the truth.
This is particularly true of banks,
brokerage houses, title companies, and
similar firms. The data-centers for these
large financial entities contain virtually
limitless transactional data regarding the
financial activities, movements, and
contacts of nearly every adult in the
developed world.
The subpoena duces tecum is the single
most effective tool in private financial
litigation. Private sector attorneys have
the power to issue subpoenas to banks,
brokerage firms, credit card companies,
and other institutions. Our turnkey service
outsources the technical process and
streamlines the efficient acquisition of
critical evidential material.
Our personnel are experts in the
specialized mechanical requirements for
issuance, service, and enforcement of civil
subpoenas in the California Superior Court
system. We craft surgically effective third-
party subpoenas to reconstruct banking,
brokerage, credit card, and other business
records, in order to establish factual
evidence of fraud, misappropriation, or
other causes of action.
These records form the backbone of
virtually all financial forensics.
