   File No. 333-173096

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, FTI Consulting, Inc. (the “Registrant”), and the subsidiary guarantors of the Registrant listed as co-registrants on Annex A hereto (the “Co-Registrants” and, together with the Registrant, the “Registrants”), hereby request that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-173096) (the “Registration Statement”) be accelerated so that the Registration Statement becomes effective at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on May 24, 2011 or as soon thereafter as is practicable.

The Registrants acknowledge that:

 

  •  

should the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;

 

  •  

the action of the Commission or its staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in the Registration Statement; and

 

  •  

the Registrants may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please confirm that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by telephoning Joanne F. Catanese, Associate General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Registrant at (410) 951-4867.
