We are open for business and working in accordance with the recommendations from health experts and agencies. We continue to answer phones, accept parcels, take on new projects, inspect scenes, analyze evidence, craft reports, and provide the answers central to your case.
We have created a COVID-19 Safety Plan for each of our 3 offices to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission. While our safety plans include some changes to the way we do our work to keep our staff, our clients and our communities safe, it also allows us to continue serving you and bring clarity to your cases. This page will shed some light on the way we are currently conducting business at MEA Forensic. We will keep this information up to date as the situation evolves.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to Jonathan Lawrence if you need more information about our COVID-19 response, and let us know if there are ways we could support you better.
