As a former police officer and Magistrate for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and a criminal defense investigator since 1993, I have vast knowledge of the criminal justice system. When you retain Jim to represent you in your legal matter, I come with the package. We have a team approach. You can expect from me the same professional courtesy that you would receive from Jim.

My job as an investigator is all encompassing.  I have knowledge about serums and blood stains, human anatomy, how to conduct research and locate various governmental records, the art of conducting an interview, firearms and how they work, how to organize for large scale cases, the basics of arson investigation, advanced knowledge of sexual assault investigations, the basics of crimes of violence against people, i.e. robbery, murder, felony assault, etc.; and a whole host of other areas that are used on a daily basis. As an criminal defense investigator, I will talk to each witness, review and verify all evidence: physical, verbal, video, etc., that will be used by the prosecution.
