Investigative Interviewing
Two Ravens Investigations owner Patrick Hannigan is a Certified Forensic Interviewer (CFI) and is skilled at fact-finding, cognitive, behavioral, and trauma-informed interviewing methodologies. He is trained in the Wicklander-Zulawski Method of Investigative Interviewing, the Reid Technique of Investigative Interviewing And Advanced Interrogation, and Forensic Testimonial Evidence Recovery (FTER method) via the Criminal Defense Investigation Training Council. Hannigan also has years of interviewing experience as a journalist. A skilled interviewer is crucial in gathering the testimonial evidence from witnesses, victims, plaintiffs, or defendants that can make or break your civil, criminal, or family law case. We locate, interview the necessary parties, and document the evidence you need for your case in a professional, ethical manner.

We assist public defenders or private defense counsel in primary or task-related investigative roles and have experience in post-conviction mitigation, civil compromise, or appeal matters requiring investigation, interviewing, research, and securing witness testimony. In Oregon, we do work on OPDC cases for OPDC rates.
Civil Litigation Support
Year of experience in research, writing, and journalism allow us to accurately source facts and evidence. We compile those into compelling, fact-rich documentation to support your case. We excel at plaintiff or defendant background investigations, witness interviews, finding people, serving process, and covert surveillance to support your case. We document scenes relevant to litigation in photos or video, produce maps and diagrams, pull public records, and lock down the testimonial evidence you need to succeed.
Background Investigations
Want to know who you are dealing with in a personal, business, or legal matter?Due diligence is important – we can provide the information you need to make informed decisions. We have access to Tier 1 data unavailable to the general public. That, plus our experience in open source intelligence and public records searches allow us to produce comprehensive, accurate background reports so you know who you are depending on in criminal defense, civil, family, business or personal matters.
Surveillance
We have the latest technology and training to provide legal, ethical and effective surveillance for our clients. We understand and operate within the bounds of state and federal privacy laws. We are expert at documenting the results of surveillance to support your case or decision-making process. Common cases involving surveillance involve civil suits, workers comp, family law matters, fraud detection, or theft prevention.
Skip Tracing and Locates
Need to find someone for a personal, business, or legal matter? We can help. Finding people – especially those that don’t want to be found – is both and art and science. Our agency uses a highly effective blend of technology, proprietary databases, and old-fashioned detective work (“Get off your ass and go knock on doors”) to find people. Skip tracing is a common need in service of process or tracking down witnesses for civil or criminal defense cases. We specialize in hard serves on hostile or avoidant subjects.
General Investigations
Got a case that doesn’t fit neatly into any category? No problem – get in touch and let’s talk about your situation. We offer a free consultation to any potential clients.
Process Service
We’ve worked with the big national process service firms, so we know just how inefficient they are: bad information, old addresses, no local knowledge. At Two Ravens, we utilize our skills as investigators to get your papers served quickly and professionally. If you don’t know the location of the party you wish to serve, we’ll find them. If you are trying to serve someone outside of our area of operations, we have connections throughout Washington and Oregon and we’ll get the job done. At Two Ravens, we are meticulous in documenting service and due diligence so your legal case can move forward on a solid foundation.
