Managing Partner, Quantum Bravo
Joseph Sobczak is a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) and Managing Partner of Quantum Bravo, where he serves as lead testifying expert on complex commercial damages matters. Before founding Quantum Bravo, Joseph served as a senior analyst at Ocean Tomo, where he acted as lead analyst on a matter that resulted in a $17 million jury award — one of more than 50 engagements across his career. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business from BYU's Marriott School of Business, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude and received the Warren Rollins and Murdell Hull Fund Award and the Merrill J. Bateman Award.
Mr. Sobczak's practice spans complex commercial damages analysis across patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret litigation, as well as breach of contract, construction defect, and fraud/business tort matters. His work includes reasonable royalty and lost profits analysis, Georgia-Pacific factor analysis, and apportionment methodology with deep experience navigating Daubert challenges and cross-examination in high-stakes federal court matters. He also provides forensic finance expertise in family law matters, including business valuation of marital assets, income determination, and asset tracing.

Proving what's owed.
In divorce and family law matters, the numbers rarely speak for themselves. Determining true income for a self-employed or high-earning spouse, valuing a closely-held business as a marital asset, or tracing funds that may have been hidden or dissipated — requires financial analysis well beyond what either spouse or their attorney can credibly present on their own.
Courts require this kind of testimony to be grounded in reliable, defensible methodology — not guesswork or advocacy dressed up as analysis. A business valuation that can't withstand scrutiny, or an income determination built on assumptions rather than evidence, can undermine an otherwise strong equitable distribution or support claim.
This is where a qualified financial expert becomes essential. Expert testimony is what transforms a spouse's suspicion or an attorney's argument into an admissible, quantifiable number a court can rely on. Without it, even a legitimate claim — a hidden asset, an understated income, an undervalued business — may not clear the evidentiary bar needed to be recognized at all.
At Quantum Bravo, we bring the same rigor to family law matters that we bring to complex commercial litigation: tested methodology, careful documentation, and analysis built to hold up under cross-examination.
"The same analytical rigor we bring to every engagement — a defensible, fact-based damages opinion that holds up under cross-examination, Daubert challenge, and judicial scrutiny."
— Joseph Sobczak, CVA · Managing PartnerFrom Intake to Expert Testimony in Divorce Litigation
A straightforward process — from case assessment to full expert engagement.
Initial Assessment
We review the financial issues, case facts, and documents provided, and deliver a written scope summary within 10 business days for a fixed $1,500 fee. This is a preliminary document review only — not an expert opinion, valuation, or report, and not admissible as evidence. It flags what's worth investigating further and estimates the cost of a full engagement.
Retainer & Engagement
If you move forward, Quantum Bravo is retained as a disclosed testifying expert under a $5,000 evergreen retainer, billed against hourly rates as work is performed. This is the only phase in which we form opinions or provide testimony. Full engagements — financial analysis, an expert report, and testimony — typically range from $15,000 to $35,000, with higher-complexity matters (multiple entities, extensive account tracing, high-conflict litigation) running higher. The retainer applies toward your total fees, not billed separately.
Financial Analysis
We build a rigorous, defensible valuation or income analysis calibrated to the facts and grounded in accepted methodology — designed to withstand cross-examination and judicial scrutiny.
Report & Testimony
We prepare a comprehensive expert report and provide deposition and trial testimony support through resolution.
