Heather Zielinski launched her career in the legal field as a paralegal at respected law firms, where she built a strong foundation and gained firsthand insight into the complexities of the justice system. Motivated by a deep commitment to truth and fairness, she went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in Legal Studies and a Master's degree in Criminal Justice.

In 2016, Heather became a licensed private investigator and founded her own investigative firm, driven by a clear mission: to uncover the truth and advocate for those who need it most.

Since then, Heather has established herself as one of the most love (and most hated) in her field for her bold "in your face" approach toward her role as an investigator, author, and advocate for justice. She is the author of several books that reflect both her investigative expertise and her passion for helping others, and her work has been featured nationally on Dateline, Access Hollywood, and Discovery ID.

After years of witnessing investigative failures, prosecutorial misconduct, and the devastating impact of wrongful convictions, Heather was inspired to take the next step in her career. She begins the next part of her journey, law school, in the fall of 2026 with the goal of becoming a criminal defense attorney focused on wrongful conviction cases. By combining legal advocacy with investigative experience, she hopes to help expose injustice, protect the innocent, and ensure every person receives the fair and thorough defense they deserve.

Known for her integrity, determination, and unwavering pursuit of the truth, Heather remains committed to seeking justice for those whose voices might otherwise go unheard.
