American Justice Coalition

HOW OUR MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED

Our current active or past caseload has come to us via referral and word of mouth.  Referred cases have to date come from private parties, public agencies and mediation services.  We expect referrals to continue. We also reach out to the general public via publications and associations such as AARP, national radio and television, as well as print media and the internet through our website.

 General Investigative Process and Procedures:

Once a referral or a client contacts us, a general report is taken and the report is screened to see if there is a need for our help, and if the facts of the report merit an investigation.  In some cases our contact with the reporting party may conclude simply with a referral to another public or private agency.

Once a case completes the screening process and appears to have merit, it is then passed to an investigator for follow-up.  The reporting party is re-contacted, interviewed and a full investigation begins.  All involved parties and potential witnesses are contacted, evidence and documentation is gathered. 

Once the primary investigation is concluded, the case is reviewed by the board and/or staff for determination of findings and a subsequent “action plan” is structured.  Once it is determined by review that the available evidence is sufficient to prove that a wrong has been committed, AJC will attempt to mediate between the parties to a reasonable conclusion. 

If the defending party in the case is uncooperative then AJC will serve the individual(s) responsible with a demand of cooperation that includes the content and validity of the evidence against them.  They will also be advised that if they refuse to make good on the wrong doing, any and all measures necessary will be taken to pursue civil and/or criminal action to the fullest extent of the law. 

We have developed propritary methods to strongly encourage wrong doers to correct their errors and make good on their offense(s).  Generally, experience has shown that in the majority of incidents once contact is made, most offending parties are moved to resolve these "disputes" without formal aggressive actions becoming necessary.  

In the rare case that a reasonable conclusion cannot be reached; the offending partie(s) will be advised that all elements about the case are about to become public information.  At this point these specific cases with merit will be released to various media sources which often times are published on the internet, and easily accessible through powerful search engines such as GOOGLE and YAHOO. 

These actions can create difficult and at times have very negative effects on business and personal relationships.  However, this has proven to be very useful in preventing additional people from becoming prey to fraudulent conduct of unscrupuluos characters.

AJC will do everything in it's power to avoid this most unfortunate fall-out by attempting to resolve cases quickly and quietly for the best possible outcomes for all involved.

Further, if a positive resolution still cannot be reached, and it is determined through the investigation that a criminal element exists, the victim will be asked if he/she wishes to pursue criminal prosecution.  If so, we will contact the all of the appropriate governement agencies of proper jurisdiction working with them for a successful prosecution. 

Any and all state and federal governmental oversight agencies will recieve summary reports to include available evidence and requests for punitive actions against the offending parties.  These agencies include but are not limited to; IRS, SEC, FTC, FBI, Secret Service, Federal Reserve, Attorney Generals Office, appropriate state and federal congressional representatives to name a few. 

Litigation Support Services:

AJC is not a "law-firm".  However we are experienced in advising our clients in matters critical to most types of civil litigation.  Whether complex multi-million dollar disputes, or more straightforward cases.  AJC assists in all stages of litigation, including initial exposure, identification of financial issues, assistance with pleadings and pre-trial examinations and the assessment of damages.  Our consulting team can assist with complex commercial litigation, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, mediation and dispute resolution.

If after review of all the evidence, it is concluded that the case has merit and that our involvement is needed, the appropriate government oversight agency will be presented with the evidence and a request for action will be made.  The results will be followed-up.  If it is concluded that sufficient action was not taken to resolve the issue, governing officials of proper jurisdiction will be notified and action requested.  This action will be progressive up through the ranks of the proper state and federal government representatives, to conclude upon best possible resolution and satisfaction of the effected citizenry. 

When change is desired public policy:

In cases where it is determined that the reporting party(s) or community(s) desire to initiate change in either public policy and/or law AJC may be limited to the extent of its direct involvement.  AJC will participate to the extent that federal law allows. (i.e. We will act as a resource of information, support and education of the subject party(s). To include but not limited to the processes and procedures used to pursued or initiate change in public policy or law itself as is allowed in our democratic government under the constitution of the United States.  AJC may not endorse any particular political candidate or party)

Growth and Funding:

AJC will also continue to expand and grow via various funding sources.  We seek funding via public and private grants, private philanthropic groups and individuals as well as donations from clients and other supporting parties for whom we assist in the recovery of lost assets.
