J.B. Heaton
"Heaton is thus imminently qualified as an expert, and the Court will assign the appropriate weight to Heaton’s testimony." - Spence v. American Airlines, Inc., 23-cv-00552-O (N.D. Tex. Jan. 10, 2025).
I specialize in the intersection of finance, law, and litigation, focusing on counterfactual analysis—helping clients understand 'what should have been' in high-stakes disputes. With a Ph.D. in finance, a J.D., and decades of experience as a litigator and expert witness, I bring rare depth to damages, valuation, and economic causation cases. Many courts and academic scholars have cited my scholarly publications on financial analysis, corporate damages, and valuation methods. My work empowers decision-makers with clear, actionable insights into complex financial and legal challenges.
​
I thrive on uncovering patterns and generating insights that help decision-makers navigate their toughest strategic dilemmas. I excel when working with committed teams that value intellectual collaboration and a relentless pursuit of the best possible outcomes. My passion lies in helping others make confident, well-reasoned decisions by focusing on what truly matters to them.
