Bio

After serving the public in the capacity of a law enforcement officer with the Polk County Sheriff's Office and the Office of the State Attorney, I retired after 28 years of service.  Over 23 of those 28 years was specific to the area of fraud and white collar crime investigations.  I've enjoyed every year of that service.

On January 1, 2019 I opened my private investigative agency Menge Consulting & Investigative Services LLC.  To continue to serve attorneys, CPA's, and the small business community.  In addition, my agency assists a segment of society which is the most vulnerable to fraud and is often under served.  That segment is our elderly population.  After criminally charging countless cases of exploitation of the elderly on those who have misappropriated assets, my agency assists those seniors and family members with understanding what happened and offer answers to matters including probate, guardianship's and trusts.  

After working numerous criminal violations involving practicing attorneys during my law enforcement career; in December 2019 I was offered a part time position with the Florida Bar.  So in addition to my private investigation work, I'm assisting the Bar with investigations involving attorneys working around the State of Florida.

Through the analysis of information and applying an outside the box approach, solutions to any fraud can be found.  Not every fraud is criminal and not every fraud is civil. However, ALL frauds have recourse. Which one is yours?
