Why Your Old Form Isn't Cutting It...


Most releases don't include the language you need to:

  •  Avoid sky-high records fees
  • Get electronic records FAST instead of waiting for snail mail
  • Get full access to records
  • Authorize actual conversations with doctors, mental health providers, and more
What's Usually Missing?


HITECH: This law limits how much you can be charged for medical records and guarantees access in electronic format. If your release doesn't mention HITECH, custodians can and will charge hundreds of dollars and send paper records that take weeks.

FERPA: Without this language, you won’t get full educational records. This is essential in cases involving juveniles, mental health, mitigation, and more.

This form includes both — and much more.

Don't settle for outdated forms that block your access and rack up unnecessary costs.

What Our Students Are Saying…

Jasmin Jones, Aspiring Investigator

“Coming from outside of the field, I now feel like I could really do this. I’ll be referring back to these resources for a while! The course is so thorough and well-designed; a question would come up for me and then would immediately be answered on the next screen. It was easy to stay engaged because the model case we went through was super realistic and interesting. I researched so many resources, and no other course, blogger, or YouTuber offers anything that comes close. These aren’t book skills. It’s really clear that something like this could only be taught by someone with years and years of experience in the field.  The Investigative Method is the most well-designed, comprehensive course out there.”

Martin de Bourmont, Federal Defender Investigator

“This program models the painstaking work that goes into preparing to launch a criminal defense investigation by emphasizing patience, critical-thinking, records analysis, and the importance of preparation before hitting the field. Furthermore, it provides a comprehensive list of all the avenues through which an investigator can begin generating leads before going out to knock on doors. One way it does so is by providing an exhaustive list of OSINT tools that will arm an investigator with everything they need to find and efficiently interview fact witnesses. Another invaluable benefit of this course is the way it demystifies records requests, helping an investigator understand where they can find important documents, what is publicly available, what requires a subpoena, and what could necessitate a court order. By putting all of these lessons in the context of a case in progress, the investigator learns in a hands-on way that favors retention and understanding. I cannot recommend this program highly enough.”

Megan, Federal Defender Paralegal

“I loved the PDFs and links to outside sources (I may have even saved a few to use in my work :) ) The examples of real spreadsheets and memos to submit to attorneys are fantastic. I think this course will give people the confidence to go out and do the job.

Overall, I think it's a great course for a new investigator, especially if I could go back to review sections after I completed the course. I loved the PDFs and links to outside sources (I may have even saved a few to use in my work :) ) The examples of real spreadsheets and memos to submit to attorneys are fantastic. I think this course will give people the confidence to go out and do the job.”
