Akin Investigations

"Mr. Akin's involvement in our capital case proved to be invaluable. He prepared me to cross the state's experts and the Texas Rangers and he testified very well. When Mr. Akin left the witness stand the Judge commented in chambers that Mr. Akin was extremely impressive. I have worked with a number of experts who I consider to be "good experts" within their fields; however, Mr. Akin was far from being simply a "good expert." I was very impressed with his work, his knowledge, and his ability to relay concepts to a jury."

“...he succeeded in establishing rapport with witnesses both sides of the suit had given up for lost, uncovered evidence which the police and coroner had failed to discover, and reported his activities succinctly, promptly, and with extraordinary professionalism. Mr. Akin comes to you with the heartiest of recommendations from our offices.”

Louie's meticulous attention to detail and extensive knowledge of forensic investigative techniques helped us to convince the government's lawyer to offer a plea to a lesser charge, thereby saving our client's life. Louis Akin and Akin Investigation bring an unique valuable perspective to the defense team."

“...an unusually high caliber investigator. Louis is capable of performing extremely meticulous investigations and gathering evidence that many other investigators miss. He often adds insight to cases offering suggestions on legal theories and case strategies. His reports are well organized and written in a clear concise style.”

"Louis Akin is the kind of investigator that gives your client their money's worth. He takes his work seriously and leaves no stone unturned and no theory uninvestigated. He is completely honest, reputable and hard working. I especially appreciated the detailed, professional reports that Louis provided to me."
Nancy Hohengarten, Attorney, Austin, Texas

Louis is an incredibly intelligent man, with a sharp wit, who is very open-minded at the same time. He has been the brain-child of numerous brilliant ideas for our state association (TALI), and very instrumental in putting them into play. During the past two years that I have been President of TALI, I have observed Louis working diligently to raise the level of professionalism for Texas Private Investigators.

He serves TALI as Chairman of two very important committees: Commendations (which he developed to identify and recognize exceptional investigative work), and Associate Editor of The Texas Investigator, our beautiful magazine. Because of Louis’ numerous contributions to TALI, he was awarded the President’s Award at our 2006 Convention for his service to TALI.
