Lisa conducts investigations in a thorough, fair, and impartial manner, recognizing the importance of producing a timely, well written, and cost effective report. 

Retaining an outside investigator is often the best way to insure true neutrality and an unbiased final report that will withstand the test of litigation. The importance of using an outside investigator is frequently overlooked when confronted with the urgency of moving forward with an investigation. The unfortunate result is many times the belated realization that the internal investigator either has a conflict or is perceived to have a conflict, undermining the integrity of the final report. 

Clarifying, in advance of commencing the investigation, what type of an investigation the investigator is being retained to perform is essential. Whether the investigator is serving only as a neutral fact finder or is also making recommendations to management, it is important to retain an investigator who writes well and will be a well-respected witness in the event of potential litigation. 

Lisa has trained many investigators how to conduct investigations and prepare final reports. She understands the importance of conducting a thorough investigation, preparing a carefully written report, and being able to clearly explain her findings and recommendations to management as well as to a judge and jury in the event of litigation.
