INVESTIGATIONS ARE HIGH-STAKE SITUATIONS - CHOOSE CAREFULLY. MRG Investigators are the “go to” experts providing INVESTIGATION TRAINING, EXPERT WITNESS services, PROCEDURE REVIEW and BEST PRACTICES for the evolving field of workplace investigations. AND we’re more than a team of both highly skilled attorney investigators and licensed private investigators – we are also technical experts in all critical areas impacting public sector employees. Our team includes a former County Counsel, a former Chief of Police and Safety command staff, as well as former Directors of Human Resources and public agency departments. We understand both the “how” and “why” of public sector operations. We are also available to help resolve the conflicts that result in workplace claims. Our mediators are seasoned and experienced at conflict resolution and, more importantly, in brokering resolutions and generating a plan of action. We help develop the skills of the staff member that undermine the client’s operations and limit organizational potential. Additionally, we serve as hearing officers and neutral fact finders to assist our clients in seeking final resolution to critical organizational challenges. Finally, to “get back on track” after your workplace has suffered the the effects leading up to an investigation, we offer training and coaching to bring the team back together, as well as to KEEP INVESTIGATIONS FROM BEING NEEDED IN THE FIRST PLACE!
