“I have known Brad Goldstein for more than twenty-five years. We first met when he was an award winning investigative reporter. He then went on to be a Harvard fellow and later a trouble shooter for William Koch. Before he founded Resilience, Brad spent considerable effort developing close legal, media and corporate connections that planted the seeds for his success today. 
 
 
Our firm started engaging Resilience a few years ago and appreciate their considerable technical expertise, investigative skills and discretion in highly confidential situations. He has been particularly helpful in criminal and university cases. 
 
 
Resilience’s business model is flexible enough for both our well funded clients as well as cases with more restrictive budgets. 
 
 
I would highly recommend Brad and Resilience.”
