Although we have been hired to work on various cases because of our investigative instincts, experience, and identifiable expertise, our Investigators and Mitigation Consultant now focus primarily on Criminal Defense and Post-Conviction Relief (PCR) Investigation. They are determined to give you their best throughout every phase of the investigative process.
Presently, our Founder, Principal Investigator, and Mitigation Consultant is Shane Harrington, PhD, MBA, (OR 90168, WA 3828).
Working throughout the Pacific Northwest, Attorneys hire Investigator Harrington to analyze some of the most challenging and complex cases as they prepare for Trial; attempt to identify, locate, and secure new evidence when seeking PCR; or mitigate for a Client when their story needs to be communicated. Investigator Harrington's experience investigating and preparing mitigation packages for violent criminal cases comprises the foundation for this Agency.
Our Criminal Defense Investigator based in the Tri-Cities Region of Washington State is
Shawnna Morris, AA, (WA 4828). Investigator Morris works diligently to provide what is needed for every case she is assigned. Her reliability and unceasing desire to serve her Clients is remarkable and she has grown into one of the most insightful investigators practicing today.
Knowing this, it is important to realize that comprehensive, thorough investigations take time. Especially cases involving allegations of violent crime. In these cases, many Law Enforcement Officers, Witnesses, Experts, and Alleged Victim(s), their families, friends, etc., may need to be researched thoroughly, located, and eventually interviewed. In some situations, exculpatory evidence may be sought, found, preserved, and submitted to the Court.
Please understand that in an investigation, the most beneficial remedies often occur when we have exhausted all or most of the other identifiable possibilities. There is simply no way around it with a multitude of factors, foreseen and unforeseen, impacting the outcome. And while many of our Clients seek a rapid resolution of their legal situation, it may not be probable, ideal, or remotely realistic.
This is why we ask for the time necessary to conduct a competent, thorough, and potentially exhaustive investigation, understanding that no one can guarantee its result.
The only promise an Investigator can legitimately make is that they will pledge to do everything they are legally able to do, within reason, to help a Client favorably resolve their legal matter. Knowing this, an experienced, competent Attorney will determine the best course of action after thoroughly processing and analyzing the investigative findings.
The rule is that an Attorney will ultimately determine the defense strategy and coordinate the case flow. The Attorney will work directly with the Investigator. Although an Investigator may be involved in preparing a case for Trial, it is solely the Attorney's responsibility to provide legal advice, never the Investigator's.
Identifying and knowing what to do and, most importantly, what not to do, is one of the many reasons why Harrington Investigations has become a premier, professional Private Investigator Agency. Trust that our Investigators will not quit or fail; if there is something to be found that will help you, they are unceasingly committed to finding it under the Attorney's direction.
Most of the criminal cases assigned to our Investigators have included allegations of violent crime. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), violent crime comprises murder, non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, followed by the property crimes of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. Violent crimes are defined by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program as those offenses which involve force or the threat of force.
Some of the additional criminal cases investigated have included charges of theft, sodomy, reckless driving, negligent driving, physical control, shoplifting, driving under the influence (DUI), fraud, simple assault, no-contact order violations, identity theft, child molestation, kidnapping, animal cruelty, malicious mischief, sex trafficking, firearm possession, interfering with a health care facility, and harassment with threats to kill.
