A confidential consultation to understand what you need to know, what's been tried, and what success looks like. Scope is set — and questioned. Sometimes the matter as described isn't the one that needs investigating; we say so when we see it.
Field work, public records, interviews, and database research — performed lawfully and contemporaneously documented as it happens.
Before findings reach the report, they're tested. Cross-checked against alternative sources. Examined for the holes a cross-examiner would look for. A confident-sounding statement that won't hold up under questioning is worse than no statement at all.
A clear, defensible written report — sourced, organized, and prepared with the courtroom in mind. Plain language where it can be plain; precise terminology where precision matters. Helena is available to provide expert testimony where the matter calls for it. What we wrote is what we'll say.
Tell us what you need to know. We'll tell you, candidly, whether we can help.
