When a case hinges on the justification of force, the gap between conviction and exoneration is often found in the investigator's understanding of high-stress, split second encounters. With 32 years of law enforcement experience- including SWAT operations, numerous deadly force encounters, Defensive Tactics instruction, and Internal Affairs experience-I provide a perspective most investigators simply don't have.
Tactical Insight: As an 11 year SWAT veteran and former Florida- Certified Defensive Tactics Instructor, I have operated in and trained others for environments where deadly force decisions occur in fractions of a second. I translate complex concepts like threat perception, reaction time, and physiological stress into clear, actionable evidence.
During my seven years as a Senior Internal Affairs Detective, I investigated numerous officer-involved shootings and excessive force allegations. I know how the state builds a use-of-force-case- and I know exactly where their investigations fall short.
Since founding my agency in 2009, I have served as a paid police union labor representative for 900+ officers. I used my acquired investigative skills while responding and representing officers at over 100 officer involved shootings and navigating complex use-of-force inquires.
In 2020 I resigned from my union position to focus on defense investigations and civilian firearm instruction.
As an NRA Certified Pistol Instructor who has trained over 1000 civilians on Florida's justification laws, I excel at articulating the tactical and legal factors of a legitimate self-defense claim.
When your client's freedom depends on a self-defense claim, you need an investigator who understands the encounter as well as the evidence.
