WELCOME TO SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

Since 1985, Francie Koehler has conducted a wide range of civil and criminal investigations at both federal and state levels in addition to supervising a staff of investigators. A missing person case she investigated was portrayed on Unsolved Mysteries and one of her capital cases was featured in A Suitable Job for A Woman, a book by British author, Val McDermid.

More recently, author Ann Rule chronicled a case Koehler investigated in her true crime story, In the Name of Love. A licensed private investigator in California, Koehler’s chief focus is pre-trial and post-conviction criminal defense. Her company, Special Circumstances, enables her to concentrate on her area of interest.
