Dependable Investigations. Uncompromising Results.
Our Services
Criminal Defense Investigations
From homicide to sexual assault, robbery, domestic violence, and financial crimes — I investigate with precision. I dissect discovery materials, scrutinize law enforcement reports, and expose inconsistencies others overlook. My work strengthens defense strategies by uncovering the evidence that shifts the balance. No matter the charge, I make sure the truth is armed and ready.
Elder Fraud, Estate, Guardianship & Trust Investigations
I specialize in untangling the complexities of estate litigation, guardianship disputes, and trust administration. When assets are at risk or conflicts arise, I deliver verifiable findings that protect property, clarify disputes, and safeguard the integrity of the proceedings. Whether it’s Elder Fraud, contested wills, questionable guardianship arrangements, or trust mismanagement, I cut through the noise and bring clarity to the mission.
Personal Injury Investigations
When liability is disputed, I gather the evidence that matters: witness statements, scene photographs, surveillance footage. I investigate premises liability, negligent security, sexual assault cases tied to institutional negligence, negligent hiring and retention, and corporate failures. I establish cause of action and track down personal and corporate assets with relentless focus. My investigations don’t just support claims — they sharpen them into undeniable proof.
