We have broad expertise including:

Premises Liability:  Foreseeability plays a major role as it relates to the safety of your employees, customers and guests.  A crystal ball is not required as one might think as crime analysis is both art and science.  Knowing how to analyze that foreseeability from incidents both in and around an area is crucial in premises cases.   Experience in apartments and condos, parking lots, shopping centers, and convenience stores.

Security Guards:  We have significant experience to serve both plaintiffs and defendants surrounding issues that involve security guards.  This expertise extends into operations, hiring, training, post orders, supervision, and actions by security personnel.  This includes mall security, shopping center security, proprietary/in-house and contract security.

Inadequate Security and Negligent Security:  We have extensive experience with plaintiffs and defense involving security guards. Common offenses are parking lot assaults at malls, carjacking, negligent security, property loss, theft, arson, wrongful death and other wrongful acts can be successfully resolved with our assistance.  All areas including apartments, hotel, and nightclubs.

Retail Loss Prevention We have an extensive background in cases involving retailers with issues such as false arrestshoplifting, , false imprisonment, employee theft, wrongful termination. malls, and other retail settings.  Director level retail experience.  Read our articles on employee theft.

Criminal events  involving workplace violence.

School Security.  We are the only consulting firm in Texas that has attended the training provided by the Texas School Safety Center

As part of our initial investigation of property related incidents, we recommend CAP Index to determine foreseeability and statistical comparability to the County, State, and US.  Pulling the FBI's Uniform Crime Report or reading through calls for service from the local police department is mind numbing.  The CAP Index compares the propensity for criminal activity of the target area to relative benchmarks.  I can review this concise report in a very short time to assist you in your case.  You will find few consultants who use this easy to read report
