How
did "Frank" Ritter come to share his decades of experience in personal injury
investigations? . . . Even to providing forms you can duplicate. After
graduating from St. Edward's University, Austin, Texas, his business and body-guarding
acumen evolved into investigating. Being an investigator since 1975, he maintains
membership in American Mensa and several investigative associations, including
the Council of International Investigators, and, as such, has been influential
in maintaining the high standards of the investigative industry. |
