What our clients are saying…

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I knew AKI’s reputation before actually working together, and ever since first working with AKI in 2015, AKI's investigators are as relentless as needed to provide me with the information to help me better represent my client. They strive to get the records even when initially told that they no longer existed, persisting and getting the records anyway. They know what I need before I ask for it and get the information. They actively work to improve investigative skills and knowledge. They work as a team member who is not intimidated or offended by active feedback and suggestions. In the cases where we’ve worked together, the results have been favorable to the client."

    John G. Oliva, Attorney at Law

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I have found AK Investigations to be a very versatile group. They are comfortable with anything from homicides to document-intensive white collar work. Their investigators are thorough and responsive. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them on any type of case."

    Jonathan Farmer, Spencer Fane

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I have worked a number of cases with AK Investigations and in doing that I have worked with several investigators on their team. I can say that each one of them is professional, thorough, dedicated and persistent in their search to locate and interview people, review discovery, obtain documents as well as anything else that is necessary to provide high quality services for their clients. I have obtained numerous excellent settlement outcomes for clients as well as acquittals after trial by jury and due in no small part to the superior work that AK Investigations provides. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my closest loved ones."

    Jason Chaffin, Attorney at Law

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "When AKI joined our team, we had the use of several investigators at one time. The one factor that stood out the most was that the investigators were predominately female which I feel is the reason they have the success they have. We are so used to male/cop-like investigators and a connection not being made with the witnesses. I am so glad we found AKI. Amber has created and developed a new type of investigator that knows what they are doing and are not afraid to do it and help save a client's life."

    Lela Hubbard, Mitigation Specialist, Donelson Enterprises

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Before I found AK Investigations, our mitigation investigation was not productive. What stood out about their services was that they were very proactive and did not accept failure. They went above and beyond to locate records. They were very good with client trust. As a result, we were able to secure a life plea in a death penalty case. I would absolutely recommend AKI."

    David Teel, The Law Office of David J. Teel, PLLC

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I had a difficult case where the client could have been facing the death penalty. I needed a mitigation specialist to help me tell his story. Our AK Investigator was absolutely WONDERFUL! Our client was found not competent which basically saved a life. The work that AK Investigations did was instrumental in showing the state psychiatric hospital that the client had significant mental illness and could not go forward.”

    Bonnie Potter, Attorney

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “As a solo practitioner I needed assistance in locating and interviewing witnesses and everyone at AK has been great. Locating and finding witnesses and getting them to speak to us was essential in getting the full picture of a case and AK was able to do this for me and my client. As a result, my client was found not guilty of 1st degree murder.”

    Jonathan C. Brown, Attorney at Law

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I used the services of AK Investigations in my last jury trial, which was a rape trial that we received a not guilty verdict and a lesser included verdict. I could not have had this success for my client without the help of AKI. They went above and beyond what I expected them to do. They were proactive, and genuinely cared for my client. I highly recommend their services."

    Chelsea Nicholson, Attorney

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "AK Investigations cares about my clients and their goals. They are creative, compassionate, and comprehensive in every investigation. They’ve found witnesses from 25 year old incidents, crafted compelling social histories, and been responsive and engaged at all times. I would highly recommend AK Investigations to any criminal defense attorney looking for a quality fact or mitigation investigator."

    Deputy Public Defender and Training Director

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "We were preparing to litigate a class action lawsuit on behalf of medically vulnerable people in jail during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can imagine how difficult it was finding the staff necessary to interview people in jail and determine what the conditions were like. So, we turned to AKI to help. We needed highly skilled investigators to help develop a factual record for federal class action litigation. AKI was an absolute pleasure to work with. They knew exactly how to access the jail, conduct timely but detailed interviews, and then summarize and report out their findings. They knocked it out of the park."

    Stella Yarbrough, Nashville Legal Director & Attorney

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I did not have enough time and resources to do my own investigation. AK Investigations has helped with lots of different needs and has helped obtain information for us that has led to decisions on pursuing a case or not and also has been related to determining the strength of the cases."

    Carrie LaBrec, Morgan & Morgan

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Amber and her team always do what they say they'll do. They give us timely feedback. They have such a high degree of integrity and intensity in their approach to what they do. I'm grateful for them being a part of what we can do to assist our clients. They have a dramatic impact on how effective we can be."

    David L. King, Tennessee Law Group

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I was second chair on a case and lead counsel was using AKI. After that case, I tried to use AKI in every case that required investigation. Most recently, AKI assisted me in a murder case that was ultimately dismissed. AKI's assistance was invaluable, allowing me to focus on legal arguments by having supporting facts and evidence ready to draw on when necessary."

    Doug Moore, KY Department of Public Advocacy

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "AK Investigations has helped my clients obtain outstanding results each time that I have hired them. They were instrumental in finding key witnesses that the police were unable to locate. Further, they obtained physical evidence that I would likely not have been able to otherwise obtain. In one case, their recovery of physical evidence resulted in the DA agreeing to dismiss my client’s charges. Amber and her team are professional, superbly competent, and efficient. I recommend AK Investigations to any attorney whose case needs extra attention.”

    Bryan Stevenson, Attorney

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “AK Investigators constantly return results where success is in real question. A deep wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with insightful views of the situation and how to proceed help AK staff routinely provide me with important information.”

    Greg Coulson, Coulson Law Offices, PLLC

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Team AKI's experience and professionalism are hard to beat. The availability of a Spanish-speaking investigator on the team made AKI the right choice in one of my high-stakes criminal cases, and I have not been disappointed!

    Jenny Case, Attorney, Shelby County Public Defender’s Office

  • ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "What separates AK Investigations from other investigators is how thorough they are and their knowledge of available resources. Finding potential witnesses, conducting interviews, and information gathering are always performed beyond my expectations. I have had a number of defendants acquitted and the investigation conducted allowed me to prepare for the in court representation."

    Nick McGregor, Attorney at Law

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I am confident that AK Investigations will give me top-quality, detail-oriented service every time. Beyond interviewing witnesses, collecting records, and serving subpoenas, the people at AK Investigations know how to work within a team to a put together a case that persuades jurors and judges. And if I need an investigator or mitigation specialist who speaks Spanish, I want Amber Kaset. Not only is she fluent in the language, she understands cultural influences that may make a huge difference in a case."

    Joanne Lynch, Attorney

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “It is without hesitation that I would recommend AK Investigations for your legal investigatory needs. I have worked with the team for three to four years now, and I have never had a bad experience. The team goes above and beyond a particular task at hand and provides additional input and suggestions as may be warranted for a particular case. This is a quality I have certainly found lacking in other investigators I have used in the past. The professional team is virtually always available and extraordinarily responsive. You will lose no sleep knowing your investigation is in their capable hands.”

    Ben Perry, Attorney

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The investigators I have worked with from AK Investigations have to be among the best in their field. Most impressive is the initiative they take when they embark on their investigation. They have uncovered facts and details that I would not have even known to look for. They have definitely made my job as an attorney easier.”

    -Amy Goodwin, Attorney

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This firm takes you and your client’s needs seriously. They are dedicated and think outside the box to work as a part of the defense team. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

    Patrick Hakes, Attorney in Charge, Salem Public Defender’s Office
