MARK STUART

J.D., CFL, CFDAI, AAADM

Began his locksmith business over 11 years ago that created a solid  business model with a stellar reputation.  Integrity and customer  satisfaction are the  business trademarks.  Mark also  has a successful fire door inspection business that inspects many  medical buildings and detention facilities.  Mark later received  training in automatic doors and became AAADM certified. AAADM stands for  the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers. This means he can troubleshoot, inspect, and install automatic doors.  Along with knowing the code regulations and how the doors function make him a unique investigator with his legal training.   Later Mark became a CFL, Certified Forensic Locksmith, with IAIL,  International Association of Investigative Locksmith.  Couple Mark’s  history with his JD, Juris Doctorate, makes him a  unique and thorough investigator.  Very few forensic locksmiths have  their JD.

What makes Mark’s investigative technique different is his  ability to take complicated concepts and explain them in simple layman  terms.  His investigations are holistic and creative with “out of the  box” thinking.  It is not unusual  for clients to request he do a separate investigation as a second  opinion.  Like litigation attorneys, Mark does his investigation in  anticipation of any possibility or question that can be raised.  As Mark  says, “we determine causation and let the attorneys  and courts determine liability.
