The System that works independent of victim participation.
Beat stress and burnout using the Less Victim Method.
The 3 step system that creates successful outcomes while reducing the burden on prosecutors and victims.
What we do
Training
The innovator of the Less Victim method. Learn how to build cases independent of victim participation. Utilize existing technology to streamline case investigation and prosecution. Reduce the pressure on the victims and those handling the cases.
Consulting
Independent review of cases, protocols, management skills, or best practices. We have options available to provide you peace of mind.
Unbiased expert testimony on intimate partner violence matters including stalking and strangulation. Explain to the fact finder why these cases are different.
Coaching
Tired of losing cases and hung juries? We offer one on one skills coaching and witness preparation coaching. Discuss your skill concerns without worrying about what others. Improve your skills to better serve victims of violence.
Our Philosophy
You can successfully handle these cases while providing victims autonomy in how they participate in the process. They already have an abuser trying to control them, they don't need you to replace that with your control over them.
