With over eight years of experience in construction management and dispute resolution, Mr. Trevino has developed a robust skill set in construction quantum, damages, and the standard of care. His career has been shaped by a deep understanding of the complexities within the construction industry and a proven ability to provide expert solutions for claims analysis.
Mr. Trevino began his career in construction by applying lean construction methodologies to improve project efficiency, optimize delivery, and minimize waste. He then transitioned into structural design for complex mixed-use developments, where he applied these principles to ensure projects were completed on time and within budget. Prior to joining Secretariat, he further honed his project management skills, working on behalf of a general contractor on a large-scale, multibillion-dollar design-build project in Texas. This heavy civil infrastructure project exposed him to a wide range of challenges, from managing cost overruns to overseeing project controls.
At Secretariat, Mr. Trevino’s expertise expanded into dispute resolution, particularly around construction claims, cost overruns, and project controls on a variety of infrastructure and commercial construction projects. His role involves working closely with legal teams to assess and resolve complex disputes.

The Future of eDiscovery: Generative AI’s Impact
Generative AI is transforming eDiscovery, reshaping legal document review with greater efficiency and scalability. But as with predictive coding, technology alone is not enough. Human expertise remains essential to ensure accuracy, mitigate bias, and uphold ethical standards.
The 2025 Artificial Intelligence Report, conducted by Secretariat in collaboration with ACEDS, has revealed groundbreaking insights into the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal industry. With a focus on Generative AI (GenAI) and its increasing integration into legal workflows, the survey provides essential data for organizations navigating the future of legal practice and technology. Now in its third year, the report’s research and analysis was once again led by legal AI expert Richard Finkelman in collaboration with ACEDS. This year also marks the first partnership with Secretariat to sponsor this comprehensive study.
