As a retired law enforcement professional, he took great pride in his investigations, knowing that he used his training, experience and impartial judgement. He always keeps an open mind, completing fair and accurate analyses, ensuring against a false court conviction. A proper conviction is what prosecutors refer to as “beyond a reasonable doubt” evidence. While every investigation has its strong and weak points, each needs to be presented to a jury.
From working through the ranks of patrol officer to investigator of a large sheriff’s office, he eventually retired from his career as chief of police, a full time licensed police officer in Minnesota and Wisconsin. He is now a licensed private investigator working on criminal defense cases, ensuring justice in MN and WI.
Since 2005 he has assisted in homicides, sexual assaults, post conviction appeals and many other criminal cases that have delivered not guilty verdicts. He as been approved to work as a contract employee through the Wisconsin State Public Defenders Office, and his commitment is to work with your attorney to ensure that you receive a fair trial.
