If you still wanted to chat and share what exactly you're looking for, I'd be happy to recommend someone who might be a better fit. With that being said, I just testified earlier this week in a Daubert Hearing for Federal Prosecutor . I'm sure that you might find the hearing transcript of interest at a minimum, and it sheds light in the content of my testimony.
