I have never hired EMA Structural Forensic Engineers, also billed as EMA Forensic Associates. The owner reached out once about work. We never did any. That was the whole relationship.
On the morning of Aug. 19, 2026, my phone filled up with calls from Fort Myers. The number was +1 (239) 900-7371. That is the Fort Myers office line EMA publishes on its own site for forensic work. In a 15-minute stretch the call log shows at least seven hits from that number, most of them after I had already blocked it. At 10:12 a.m. there was also a blocked call from (321) 355-6052, the Orlando number on the same site.
Then the voicemails.
10:14 a.m., 10 seconds, iPhone transcript (low confidence): “Sam Frost? Come talk. You have the guts, you have the balls? Can’t talk, mother.”
10:15 a.m.: “Sam Frost. … Pick up the phone.”
10:16 a.m., 16 seconds: “Sam Frost. You ****. You don’t have the balls to talk? … pick up the phone.”
He used my name. He dared me to pick up. I did not call back.
EMA’s website lists its principal as “Dr. Mu Ali, Ph.D., P.E., S.I.” Florida corporate records for Ema Forensic Associates, LLC list Mujaid Ali as the company’s agent. A BBB profile for EMA Structural Forensic Engineers in Tampa lists a manager as Mujaid Ale. Same shop, a few spellings. The site also puts Taylor Swift, Ellen DeGeneres and Donald Glover on the “team” page as chief executives, which is either a broken template or a strange way to present a forensic practice that asks HOAs and insurers to trust its judgment.
I am not a psychiatrist. I am a reporter who got a stack of voicemails from an engineer marketing himself as the person you hire when a building fails, a claim is in dispute, or a condo board needs a sealed opinion. The question is not complicated. If this is how the office behaves toward someone it never even billed, why would you put that name on a structural report?
EMA’s sites: emaengineers.com and structuralforensicengineers.com. Fort Myers office number, as they print it: 239-900-7371. Orlando: 321-355-6052.
