About Mike Corwin

Over the last 30 years, I’ve investigated violent incidents from multiple angles:

  • Bringing cases against organizations where violence occurred.
  • Defending individuals in criminal cases.
  • Conducting internal workplace investigations after threats and assaults.

I understand how violence actually develops, how it can be prevented, what plaintiff attorneys and regulators look for, and what organizations are expected to do before and after an incident.

For more than a decade I’ve provided workplace violence prevention and personal safety training to small businesses, medical and legal professionals, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, judges, court administrators and their staff, and even the staff of a United States senator.

I learned about personal safety while working in dangerous places, and workplace violence prevention through investigating real world violent incidents.

And I shared what I learned by serving as a regular guest instructor on investigations at UNM Law School, and at dozens of workshops for legal professionals and for business organizations. I also taught personal safety & self-defense for well over a decade.

I've been fortunate to have been able to mix my two passions, helping people who are going through a difficult time, and helping people be safe from violence.
