Mission Statement

"I try to be as sincere as possible and truly feel honored anytime I am asked to speak to defense attorneys and investigators. I pray that what I present may be the one thing that ends up making a difference in client's life.

We have a our clients life literally in the balance and based upon our investigation can mean the difference sometimes in a person being allowed to live or die. It is a great responsibility that we accept each and every day and that although some of the task we do each day may seem mundane or trivial it could very well be the one thing that makes the case. I feel that the way I present and offer the free resources allows me to give back to my fellow investigators and the community that has been so good to me.

I also believe that in our own little way we have a ministry that we are commissioned with. You think about it the people we are assigned to help are for the most part people in society have turned their back on and already have them convicted. What greater commissioned can one person have than to help the down trodden, the weak, the poor and less fortunate. People ask sometimes what makes you continue to fight when everybody else has given up. It is the above comments that drives me and I hope others such as yourself that there are still people out there that have compassion for their fellow man no matter what race, creed or status in society.

It is this "Band of Brothers and Sisters" that motivates me each and every day and why I am always available and will make the time to help any of them. 

God Bless you and keep you safe as you use your shield and sword as a Warrior of Justice." - Kevin McClain, President.
