Areas of Practice

Forensic Case Consultation

Every case has its own unique challenges and opportunities. With 30 years of forensic experience to draw from, a case consultation can reveal strengths that can be used to build a solid case, weaknesses that need to be addressed, and missed opportunities of evidence that was not exploited. A case consult can breathe new life into an investigation in need of innovation, fresh ideas, or a different direction.

Areas of consultation include criminal investigation, crime scene investigation, shooting scene investigation and reconstruction, crime scene reconstruction, 3D laser scanning review, cold cases review, and trial preparation.

Crime Scene Reconstruction

Crime scene reconstruction is an often misunderstood discipline. It should be exercised by only the most experienced and well-trained forensic scientists. A reconstruction seeks to take a deep dive into the scene documentation and forensic exam results to build a comprehensive understanding of the what and how of an incident. A reconstruction describes the actions and events that compose an incident and supports those conclusions with physical evidence, scene context, and physical laws. This builds a foundation to the reconstruction that will hold up to scrutiny in court.

Shooting reconstruction is a particular area of specialization that can help you unravel the details of a shooting.

Forensic Training

Leverage the experience and lessons from three decades in forensics to invest in your most important resource: your people. Course offerings are in the works to include crime scene investigation, crime scene photography, complex crime scene management, and shooting reconstruction.

Classes are offered on-site with a sponsor agency and have a limited class size to ensure that students get the one-on-one attention they deserve. All courses mix a healthy dose of scientific foundation with practical hands-on exercises that will ensure that students walk away from the course with skills they can immediately put into action.

Case-specific Experimentation

Crime scenes are chaotic and complex. Sometimes the unique conditions of your scene do not fit neatly into the existing research. This can lead to misinterpretation of evidence. It is critical to conduct the necessary scientific inquiries that incorporate your case details to ensure you are correctly understanding what happened.

This type of work is highly dependent on the case facts and a thorough case review is essential. All proposed experimentation is highly customized to each case.
