Alan W. Stancombe, J.D.
Senior Investigator | Legal Affairs

With nearly five decades of experience in military service, law enforcement, criminal prosecution, private investigation, legal research, and fiduciary work, my career has been built on integrity, public service, and a commitment to justice.


I began my career in the United States Air Force, serving on active duty and in the Air Force Reserve from 1978 to 1992. During my military service, I worked as a police K-9 handler specializing in explosives and narcotics detection and ultimately attained the rank of Master Sergeant (E-7).


I later served as a sworn police officer with the San Francisco Police Department and was activated for military service during Operation Desert Storm. I also obtained my California private investigator license, which remains active and in good standing.


After earning a B.A. in Political Science from Golden Gate University, I received my Juris Doctor degree from John F. Kennedy University School of Law. During law school, I served as a State Bar Certified Law Clerk in the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office Felony Prosecution Unit, where I prosecuted major felony cases, handled hearings, and participated in criminal trials.


I subsequently worked in the District Attorney’s Writs and Appeals Division, conducting legal research, preparing appellate briefs, and presenting oral arguments before the Court of Appeals. Since then, I have continued providing investigative, appellate research, and legal writing services to attorneys throughout California in criminal, civil, and family law matters. I have also qualified and testified as an expert witness in California Superior Courts.


In 2012, I relocated to San Diego and was appointed by the court as a licensed fiduciary, serving disabled fellow veterans as a conservator and fiduciary. Helping veterans who lacked qualified family members or fiduciaries was one of the most meaningful chapters of my career.


Today, I maintain private investigator licenses in both California and Nevada and continue to provide professional investigative and legal support throughout California and Nevada.


Throughout every chapter of my career, I have remained committed to professionalism, ethical conduct, integrity, and the pursuit of truth.
