Criminal Defense Investigation

We are certified as Criminal Defense Specialists by the Criminal Defense Investigation Training Council.

At Two Ravens, we utilize the Component Method of Criminal Defense and Case Management, a proven methodology that includes:

  1. Investigative review/analysis of discovery documents including police reports, victim/witness statements, crime scene examinations, lab reports. Development of timelines and “cast of characters.”
  2. Defendant interviews as an agent of defense counsel
  3. Crime scene examination, diagramming, photography, mapping
  4. Victim/Witness background investigations
  5. Witness locates, interviews and statements
  6. Comprehensive investigative report and testifying

Two Ravens can assist public defenders or private defense counsel in primary or task-related investigative roles and assist in post-conviction mitigation investigations and reports.

Civil Litigation Support

Year of experience in research, writing, and journalism allow us to accurately source facts and evidence for litigation and compile those into compelling, fact-rich documentation. We excel at gathering information, interviewing, backgrounding, finding people, serving process, and surveillance.

Background Investigations

Want to know who you are dealing with in a personal, business, or legal matter? We have access to Tier 1 data unavailable to the general public. That, plus our experience in open source intelligence and public records searches allow us to produce comprehensive, accurate background reports so you can make informed decisions.

Surveillance

We have the latest technology and training to provide legal, ethical and effective surveillance for our clients. We understand and operate within the bounds of state and federal privacy laws. Common cases involving surveillance involve various civil or family law matters, fraud detection, or theft prevention.

Skip Tracing and Locates

Need to find someone for a personal, business, or legal matter? We can help. Finding people – especially those that don’t want to be found – is both and art and science. Our agency uses a highly effective blend of technology, proprietary databases, and old-fashioned (“Get off your ass and go knock on doors”) detective work to find people.

General Investigations

Got a case that doesn’t fit neatly into any category? No problem – get in touch and let’s talk about your situation. We offer a free consultation to any potential clients.

Process Service

We’ve worked with the big national process service firms, so we know just how inefficient they are: bad information, old addresses, no awareness of our area. At Two Ravens, we utilize our skills as investigators and local knowledge to get your papers served quickly and professionally. If you don’t know the location of the party you wish to serve, we’ll find them. If you are trying to serve someone outside of North Central Washington, we have connections throughout the state and can refer you to someone competent. At Two Ravens, we are meticulous in documenting service and due diligence so your legal case can move forward on a solid foundation.

Notary Public

We are licensed as a Notary Public with remote and electronic endorsements. (#25004072)

Mediation

Two Ravens is trained in mediation by Dispute Resolution Center of Skagit, Snohomish and Island Counties – the largest and most active DRC in the state. When it comes to conflicts involving small claims, workplace challenges, parenting plans, neighborly conflicts, and other issues, mediation can often provide a functional alternative to expensive and time-consuming litigation. The benefits of mediation include:

  • ​Informal. The process is flexible; attorneys are not necessary.
  • Confidential. Nothing discussed be used in court unless both parties agree on a settlement.
  • Customized Agreements. Help resolve interpersonal issues not necessarily susceptible to legal determination.
  • Greater Degree of Party Control.
  • Preservation of Relationships.
  • Mutually Satisfactory Results. Parties are generally more satisfied with solutions they had a hand in creating.

What’s in a name?

In Norse mythology, two ravens named Muginn and Huninn, or “Thought” and “Memory” accompanied the god Odin. Each day, the ravens flew around the world and took note of all happenings. Every day they returned to Odin and shared what they had learned, giving him the knowledge he required to make wise decisions.
