We are open for business. Almost all of our staff has switched to working from home, in accordance with the latest recommendations from health experts and agencies, and we are here to help. We are still answering phones, taking on new projects, analyzing evidence, crafting reports, and providing the answers central to your case.
We have made some changes to the way we do our work to keep our staff and clients as safe as possible. 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.
