Investigations

All educational institutions that receive federal monies are required to comply with Titles IX and VII in creating a harassment-free space for both employees and students.  Institutions not bound by the federal regulations still recognize that creating and maintaining a safe environment and culture is critical to the mission, vision and values of their institution.  There are times when following best practices dictates that retaining an outside investigator will be your most prudent option.  After fifteen years of directing criminal investigations for her clients, Robin Melone  is now an ATIXA  trained civil rights investigator specifically trained in trauma informed investigation techniques.  Having also represented both reporting and responding parties through the Title IX process she understands the law and the process from all perspectives.  She is available to  conduct an in house investigation, to advise behind the scenes and to help update policies with an eye to due process and risk management.
