What is Forensic Interviewing?
Forensic interviewing is a structured, non-leading, and legally sound process of obtaining information from individuals—whether they are witnesses, victims, or subjects of an investigation. These interviews are conducted in a way that protects the integrity of the information while ensuring the rights and wellbeing of all parties are respected.
Our Approach
We utilize nationally recognized protocols such as the Wicklander-Zulwaski Interviewing technique, The PEACE Model, Cognitive Interviewing, and the ChildFirst® protocol (where applicable), ensuring that interviews are thorough, impartial, and defensible in court. Every interview is tailored to the age, background, and emotional state of the individual, always maintaining sensitivity to trauma and other critical factors.
Our forensic interviewing services include:
Corporate Investigations: Internal employee interviews related to misconduct, theft, harassment, or other workplace issues.
Civil and Criminal Cases: Witness and victim interviews to support legal proceedings.
Insurance Claims: Investigative interviews to uncover facts in suspected fraudulent claims.
Family Law Matters: Objective, child-sensitive interviews in custody or abuse-related cases, including bullying at school or via the internet.
