Independent workplace, discrimination, and Title IX investigations for Los Angeles County employers, schools, colleges, public agencies, and employment attorneys.
Kathie Allen, a California licensed private investigator (PI 27033) and Certified Title IX Investigator, conducts investigations throughout Los Angeles County by secure video and in person. Employers and their counsel receive a written report with factual findings on each allegation.
Many Los Angeles engagements come through employment counsel, who retain a licensed investigator to conduct the fact finding while counsel remains in an advisory role.
Los Angeles County has some of the largest school systems in the country, including the Los Angeles Unified School District and the nine colleges of the Los Angeles Community College District, along with many private universities and private schools. Ms. Allen conducts Title IX investigations involving students, faculty, and staff, and delivers a written report that follows the institution’s grievance procedures.

Employers elsewhere can see our Inland Empire workplace investigations, Orange County workplace investigations and California statewide workplace investigations.
Los Angeles County employment cases may be heard at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles or at district courthouses throughout the county. Administrative complaints may be filed with the California Civil Rights Department, which has a Los Angeles office at 320 West 4th Street, or with the EEOC Los Angeles District Office in the Roybal Federal Building at 255 East Temple Street. A neutral, well documented investigation prepares the employer for that review.
