Speaker: Amy Lenertz

Bio: Amy is a Certified Fraud Examiner that has a master of Library and Information Science and a Master of Science Financial Investigations.

The best secret weapon in my investigative toolbox is my information science degree. I have 20+ years of advanced information retrieval experience.

Pair that with my meticulous attention to detail and you get a top-notch investigator who finds the hard-to-find and solves tough cases.

My contributions have saved companies significant money, and also garnered larger settlements for attorneys and their clients. I've written numerous articles, published a book, led webinars on the nuances of research, and provided investigative search services for national television.

Legal research, corporate due diligence, fraud analysis, location of assets and shell companies, background checks, employee training, interviewing, exhibit production, jury selection analysis, criminal research, and historical/genealogical research skills are in my wheelhouse.
