The Investigative Edge That Comes From Thinking Like a Lawyer
Litigation Advantage was built on a conviction: the best investigator for a legal case is one who understands the law.
My career began in 1996 alongside some of California's top-rated Super Lawyers. Law school gave me the framework; the cases gave me the instincts. For more than 25 years, I have worked in California, where I continue to serve attorneys. In 2022, I expanded into Tennessee, where I now serve attorneys throughout Middle Tennessee and surrounding areas.
We work in civil litigation and criminal defense — from large class action matters to defending the accused. What sets us apart isn't just experience — it's that we think like lawyers. We know what evidence holds up, what a declaration needs to say, and what an attorney needs before mediation or trial.

How we work.
Integrity
Every investigation is conducted with honesty and transparency. Our clients receive accurate findings — not the findings they hoped for.
Precision
We document everything with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring our findings hold up under the scrutiny of deposition and trial.
Commitment
We don't hand off a file and disappear. We stay on the case until it's resolved — because our clients’ success is the only measure that counts.
