About Us
Webster’s dictionary defines “forensic” as “pertaining to, connected with, or used in courts of law or public discussion debate.” Shogren & Associates is involved in both litigation support cases where we assist attorneys in the estimation and calculation of economic damages and investigative accounting where we look into normal, abnormal, and potential fraudulent transactions.
Our Services
We provide an accounting analysis that includes evidence supporting our findings that is suitable to a court of law and forms the basis for discussion, debate, and intimately dispute resolution. Our work includes a review of the books, records, and accounting system that often requires the reconstruction of accounts in order to determine damages caused by fraud or irregular activities.

Trust
Shogren & Associates will work closely with your attorney in both the planning and execution of your trust and estate planning; ensuring that the strategy put forth will achieve all of your financial goals.
