Mitigation Investigations
Masters-level licensed mental health professionals providing in-house clinical consultation — a rare advantage in mitigation work.
Clinical Expertise Meets Investigative Rigor
Effective mitigation requires more than gathering records — it demands a deep understanding of human behavior, trauma, and the social factors that shape a person's life. Guerrero Investigations is uniquely positioned to deliver that.
Our COO, Cherisse M. Guerrero, is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree in counseling. She leads our mitigation practice, providing clinical insight that most investigation firms simply cannot offer.
