We work with criminal defense attorneys, civil attorneys (plaintiff and defense), and corporate legal teams across the United States. We are licensed in Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, and Missouri. We also provide concierge level services for attorneys who represent high-profile clients.
We understand how hard it is for attorneys to balance the demands of multiple clients, court appearances, and litigation deadlines.
At AK Investigations, we become an integral part of your legal team, building rapport with your clients and taking on the investigative legwork to give you all the information you need.
We adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring that the evidence we gather is both reliable and credible.
I have hired AK Investigations on many cases over the course of my years as the Public Defender for Knox County, Tennessee. We hire them because of their knowledge, expertise and commitment. They take an ethical, professional approach to the work and they understand the potential devastating consequences to the client of giving less than a full effort.
I have found the folks who work at AK Investigations to be relentless, dogged, persistent, and engaged. I appreciate that they maintain regular contact with the attorneys on the case. Simply put, they get the job done.

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 AK Investigations to help.
We needed highly skilled investigators to help develop a factual record for federal class action litigation. AK Investigations 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. Talking to medically vulnerable people in custody is not something I would trust to just anyone and they knocked it out of the park.
AK investigations helped bring to light the dangerous conditions in which medically vulnerable people were being held in a local jail. Their work was crucial to protecting lives during the COVID-19 pandemic and our team was incredibly thankful for their professionalism and efficiency.

I needed someone who could handle sensitive matters and witnesses carefully and thoroughly.
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.
My clients have received above average results on a regular basis where AK is involved. Critical information has improved their legal outcomes.
— Greg Coulson, Coulson Law Offices, PLLC
“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 Stephenson, Law Offices of Bryan Stephenson
