Clear Path Forward is a full-service private investigation and advocacy firm founded by Sally Tierney, a Certified Criminal Defense Specialist licensed in Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Washington State. Sally is a truth seeker and empowerment advocate for anyone struggling to navigate an unfair system.

​

We conduct meticulous investigations and deliver clear, concise reports that hold up to scrutiny and inform real case strategy. Using advanced trauma-informed and forensic interviewing techniques, our team consistently uncovers information that shifts the direction of a case.

​

Our juror services span the full arc of trial — from pre-trial research and voir dire support that helps attorneys make informed strikes, to post-trial interviews that reveal how and why a jury reached its verdict. Behind every case is a full team: mitigation investigation specialists and videographers, seasoned surveillance investigators, OSINT research analysts, and Spanish-fluent investigators.

​

Whether you're a defense attorney building a case, a personal injury attorney fighting for a victim, or a client who has never needed an investigator before in your life, Clear Path Forward exists to bring truth to light — and to guide every case toward a better outcome.
