I have had the opportunity to know and work with Chris for many years, most recently when Chris was
appointed Undersheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. I have always been
impressed by his responsiveness to the needs of the criminal justice community and his vast experience
with criminal investigations. Chris would be an asset to anyone seeking an expert witness for their case.

I have known Chris Darcy for over 10 years. Chris is smart, prepared, and articulate. He has the ability to translate “cop speak” in a manner that is easy for a layperson to understand. Most importantly, Chris has professional integrity and works toward improving problems rather than justifying or covering them up. He is an out-of-the-box thinker who presents creative solutions to difficult problems. Chris is thoughtful, diligent, and honest. He has the ability to explain and translate complex policing issues into an understandable format. I recommend Chris as an expert witness without reservation.

– Craig R. Anderson, Esq., Marquis Aurbach Chtd.

As CEO and owner of over a dozen successful businesses in several states, I recently encountered real estate fraud with my personal holdings in Las Vegas. This fraud has the potential of causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses to my family. I contacted Chris Darcy for assistance, and he knew exactly who to call to help resolve my issue. Chris took the time to help me when I needed help the most. He was available 24 hours a day and followed up daily until my case was solved and my money was safe. I cannot thank him enough for his knowledge, compassion, and fortitude.

– Candace Easdale, CEO/Owner of LSI Companies

I have had the pleasure of working with Chris for over a decade during his tenure with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Chris is always well-prepared when I needed him to testify or discuss cases, policies and complicated issues. As a trial attorney, it is refreshing to be able to present a witness who understands the issues and provides credible testimony. Chris always offers a fresh perspective on issues and is not afraid to ask questions to gain a better understanding of the issue or provide a new approach to a problem.

– Nick Crosby, Esq., Marquis Aurbach Chtd.

Chris has over thirty years of law enforcement experience which he will draw from to help provide insight and guidance in any police practice case. He has an immediate grasp of the scope of police procedure issues and will quickly identify potential case complications. Chris has testified for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in numerous legal proceedings, including depositions and during trial, in both state and federal court. I have observed Chris use his experience and knowledge in critical cases. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who values an expert who will distill complex information into easy-to-understand concepts that will provide value to your case.

– Ruth Miller, Esq., Assistant General Council, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
