- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began my career in 2012 under the tutelage of David Dennis-Leigh, south Florida's primere private investigator and Federal expert witness with over 30 years success with cases ranging from capital murder to international corpoate investigations. I carried this diverse experience with me when I founded Advantage PI upon his retirement. As a process server I am subject to annual examination and re-certification from multiple government agencies and must study and stay up to date with legislative changes, case law, and court decisions. I am also background checked through the FDLE and FBI as a part of this licensing. I completed a state accredited course through Investigative Training LLC in 2016 as part of my continuing education and utilized this training as an intern private investigator for a major insurance defense firm. I view my career as an educational pursuit and strive to use my knowldge and experience to provide the best in legal and document services.
