NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Mike Corwin
I spent 30 plus years using my investigation skills to help 1000s of people, after they suffered through tragedy and other challenging circumstances, to try to bring them some form of justice and compensation. Sadly, the help I brought to them occurred after the fact.
Now, I use what I've learned during my three decades of work as an investigator to help people reduce the risk, and even to avoid, some of the tragedies and challenges that befell my clients.
I've honed my ability to distill down the information through decades of teaching investigation techniques to legal professionals and law school students.
