Alice Donahue: California's Trusted Workplace & School Investigation Attorney

I am an experienced attorney and workplace investigator, licensed in California, and Association of Workplace Investigators ("AWI") certified. I regularly conduct complex workplace and educational investigations throughout Northern and Southern California for organizations of all sizes, from small Bay Area businesses to major Los Angeles corporations and educational institutions across the state.

I specialize in matters involving harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and misconduct under federal and state employment laws, as well as employers individual, internal policies.

Working as an independent, neutral investigator, I have conducted or assisted on over 100 investigations across California from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Drawing from my background in employment law and workplace investigations, I have developed particular expertise in managing sensitive cases that require both legal precision and emotional intelligence, while engaging in a transparent and communicative process with my clients.

I conduct investigations in multiple languages to serve diverse client needs. As a fluent Spanish-speaking investigator, I offer Spanish-language investigations in San Francisco and throughout California; and as a native speaker of French, I offer French-language investigations throughout California. I am also proficient in Brazilian Portuguese.

Multilingual Investigation Services

Spanish-Language Investigations

Fluent in Spanish, I regularly conduct complete workplace and school investigations in Spanish. This capability is particularly valuable for California employers and educational institutions with Spanish-speaking employees or students who deserve equal access to thorough, impartial investigations without language barriers affecting the outcome. My Spanish fluency allows me to capture nuanced testimony directly without interpreters.

French and Portuguese Language Services

In addition to Spanish, I am a native French speaker capable of conducting investigation interviews in French. I also maintain proficiency in Brazilian Portuguese, having studied the language through a Foreign Language and Area Studies grant that took me to Rio de Janeiro. These additional language capabilities further expand my ability to serve diverse workplaces and educational institutions throughout California.
The ability to communicate directly with all parties involved in an investigation—without translation—creates a more comfortable environment for sharing sensitive information and helps preserve the integrity of testimony. For organizations with multilingual workforces or student populations, this direct communication approach can significantly enhance the effectiveness and fairness of workplace and school investigations.
