About Us

C3 Investigations and Consulting was founded by Chancellor ("Chance") Melvin, a retired federal criminal investigator with more than 23 years of experience leading and conducting complex investigations. Throughout his career, Chance developed a reputation for thoroughness, objectivity, and having a disciplined approach to uncovering facts and evaluating evidence.

Chance is a Licensed Private Investigator, Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Cyber Crimes Investigator (CCCI), and Certified Economic Crime Forensic Examiner (CECFE). He combines investigative expertise, financial analysis, digital research, and strategic problem solving to uncover facts, analyze evidence, and develop findings that can withstand scrutiny.

At C3 Investigations and Consulting, we help attorneys, businesses, and individuals navigate complex situations by identifying facts, assessing risks, and providing clear, defensible findings. Whether conducting financial fraud investigations, hidden asset searches, intelligence gathering, or litigation support, our focus is straightforward: deliver objective, well documented results that help clients make informed decisions.

​Uncertainty can create significant personal, financial, and legal challenges. When your reputation, business interests, finances, or legal position may be at stake, you need more than opinions; you need facts you can trust.
