Litigation Investigation & Case Development
Supporting attorneys in Alaska and Nationwide.
At Comet Mitigation, we support criminal defense and complex civil litigation through integrated investigation, defense-focused case development, trial preparation, and sentencing mitigation. From uncovering critical facts and context to shaping persuasive case narratives and actionable work product, we help legal teams build organized, strategic, trial-ready cases.
Our approach blends investigative precision with behavioral insight — ensuring every story is grounded in truth, shaped strategically, and communicated effectively.
Our Results
Founder Julia Milan began her career as a CJA paralegal on complex, high-stakes RICO cases in the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. She later transitioned into private investigation and sentencing mitigation, and now works nationwide in state and federal criminal defense, including habeas corpus matters. Comet Mitigation is based in Anchorage, Alaska.
Through strategic trial support, deep-dive investigation, and comprehensive mitigation development, our work has contributed to dismissals, not-guilty verdicts, and substantially reduced sentences.
We bring the same persistence, discretion, and precision to every case — regardless of the charge, posture, or circumstances.
“I would exchange a co-counsel and a team of four experts for Julia to be present with me to try a case.”
— Alexis Howell, Attorney at Law
