Wisconsin state licensing doesn't require continuing education units (CEU) for P.I.'s

but we belong to the Professional Association of Licensed Investigators (PAWLI) to keep current and educated on a yearly basis. Below are the the CEU's we have completed at our

annual conference.
Be sure the P.I. agency you hire is licensed and holds to a standard higher

than the expectation.

process server while living in Milwaukee. 

During the time Lori's husband  was employed by the Milwaukee Police Department, she was asked by the President of the Milwaukee Police Officer Support Team (P.O.S.T.)  to start a support group for significant others of police officers. Lori was the contact person for family members of officers involved in shootings, deaths, or just dealing with stress that comes with having a loved one in such a dangerous position.

Lori has acquired areas of investigative specialization in Relationship Monitoring; Child Custody Disputes; Criminal Defense; Investigations in Worker's Compensation; Undercover; Surveillance; Missing Persons;  Repossessions/Judgment Recovery; Process Service.

Lori also has landed several contracts from proposals she has written for their agency. Another specialty is her background in legal process/paper service with a thorough understanding of child support, having worked with many counties in the state and contracted with two of them.  Additionally, locating and serving victims/witnesses for two County D.A.'s offices and assisting the local Sheriff's department in seizures by order of the D.A.'s office.

(one of the jurors was found to not speak English after defendant spent 3 years in jail)

facts that caused the prosecutor  to offer the client a plea deal which included no jail or prison time

Noteworthy:


Mark has assisted on a few of the forensic K-9 searches for Amber Wilde.  On one occasion

(and on Mark's own time) he returned to a search site to climb into an underground tunnel on a property

that the search team was unable to get to on a previous visit. This is just one example of

Mark's dedication to thoroughly see a case through.
