Ronin Consulting works with law firms and legal teams that need dependable investigative support. Jim brings 23 years of NYPD experience, including 13 in the Detective Bureau, to the practical work cases depend on: finding people, getting statements, and documenting facts.
What we do for legal teams
- Witness location and interviews. Finding witnesses who have moved or are hard to reach, and conducting interviews that produce usable statements.
- Affidavit drafting support for counsel. Helping turn interviews into clear, accurate affidavits for counsel's review. Jim is also a notary.
- Document review and administrative support. Organizing and reviewing records so attorneys can focus on strategy.
- Field investigations. Canvassing, scene visits and observation.
- Accident scene mapping and aerial drone footage for personal injury matters.
- Background and asset research on parties and witnesses. See background checks.
Practice areas we support
Personal injury, commercial and civil litigation, family law, and criminal defense. Corporate counsel can also use our corporate and internal investigation services.
How we work with counsel
We take direction from the attorney, keep communications confidential, and write reports for a legal reader: what was done, what was found, and how it was documented. If a lead goes nowhere, we say so.
Every matter is overseen by Jim Galvin, a former NYPD detective with 23 years of service, including 13 years in the Detective Bureau and led multiple investigative units. Jim is a licensed private investigator and notary. More about Jim.
