BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS CQI conducts background investigations for individuals, companies, corporations and law firms. Unlike most companies that simply rely on a search of public records, CQI goes the extra mile and retrieves documents and conducts interviews when necessary to provide you with a detailed profile that will give you a better understanding of a person's professional and personal history and help you make fact-based, informed decisions. MITIGATION INVESTIGATION As a Mitigation Specialist, CQI works with the defense team to assist the attorney in presenting their client in the context of their life history and provide a basis for a less punitive sentence. With a background in psychology, Colleen Adams has a thorough understanding of how congenital, emotional, cognitive and environmental factors may impact a defendant's development and behavior. LEGAL INVESTIGATIONS AND SERVICES CQI offers support services to attorneys for current and pending cases. We assist by conducting a comprehensive background investigation, finding and interviewing potential witnesses, and analyzing case law, evidence and discovery material to unearth information that will help win the case.
