MMI operates as a distinct practice area within Medina McKelvey, offering limited-scope legal services focused exclusively on workplace investigations. In these matters, we do not advocate for any person, company, or side. We follow the facts wherever they lead. Our sole priority is conducting fair, neutral, and thorough investigations that are respected by all stakeholders.

Yes. We provide live, interactive HR investigation training to help internal teams conduct their own investigations with confidence, compliance, and emotional intelligence.
