Dr. Sarteschi is available for consulting and background expert investigations in the area of the sovereign citizen movement and extreme violence. Here are some of the things I can help with:
- Case Evaluation
- Determining if you are dealing with a sovereign citizen
- A detailed review of case documents, filings, and motions
- Offering advice and strategies based on the most recent evolution of the movement
- Training and education on how to better understand sovereign citizen tactics and how to counter them
You can contact me at csarteschi at chatham.edu
This website focuses on sovereign citizens and tracking their movement in the United States and their spread throughout the world. I track sovereigns every day and am using this site to organize and share those stories.
