Our Team: Focusing On The Investigators

Susan J. Lajoie (President)

slajoie@privateinvestigator.com

President and Investigator at LII, is an extremely experienced investigative professional, conducting both in-office and field civil and criminal legal investigations. Susan is proficient in background & due diligence, financial & asset, locate, Social Media, information, and genealogy investigations; as well as canvasses and in person interviews and statements. Ms. Lajoie has a knack for locating individuals, heirs to estates, witnesses, claimants, insureds, and generally anybody she is requested to find. Susan’s expertise and end results on locate and missing person investigations is legendary; there are few missing people she can’t find. Susan approaches her field investigations with a positive attitude and polite manner in order to obtain cooperation, information, and statements. There are times when a person isn’t actually lost, they have just stopped communicating with their attorney. This often happens in product liability cases that are dragged out over many years. The plaintiffs often lose faith and trust that they will ever receive the compensation they deserve. In these cases, Susan has shown an astounding ability to obtain their trust and re-instate their cooperation and communication with their attorneys. Susan is an active member of the National Association of Legal Investigators (NALI) and has appeared in local, regional, and national news media.

Administrative Assistant/Investigator Trainee

Lajoie Investigations, Inc. (LII) has always been committed to mentoring future generations, and we proudly continue this tradition in honor of John Lajoie. As part of our dedication to nurturing young talent, LII has formed a partnership with Northeastern University in Boston, MA, offering a unique Administrative Assistant/Investigator Trainee position to co-op students.

Every six months, we welcome a Criminal Justice major or minor and provide them with valuable hands-on experience and specialized training. Our co-op students receive a comprehensive introduction to both criminal and civil investigations, gaining insight into defense investigations in criminal cases and working on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants in civil matters.

During their time with us, students learn how to effectively manage cases, deliver exceptional phone and email support, conduct in-office investigations, and fulfill the responsibilities of an administrative assistant. Our goal is to prepare future professionals with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to excel in their careers, wherever they may go.

We have a network of investigators to handle discreet and sensitive investigation but due to the nature of their work, our dedication to client confidentiality, and the fact that revealing their names might compromise our investigations, we choose not to name these experienced and integral team members and respectfully request that you grant us your pardon.
