Alondra Bañuelas-Zalewski

Alondra Bañuelas-Zalewski is a criminal defense investigator, native Spanish speaker, former Certified Legal Interpreter, U.S. Army combat veteran, and MBA graduate. She supports attorneys, businesses, and private clients with thorough research, field investigation, and direct communication in English and Spanish.

Her investigative experience includes criminal defense, surveillance, fraud, missing-person matters, witness location, skip tracing, and background research. She places particular emphasis on checking information, documenting findings, and understanding the context behind a record or witness account.

Alondra’s native Spanish fluency and former legal-interpreter experience help bridge language and cultural barriers during investigative communication. Spanish-speaking clients can explain their concerns in their own words, while attorneys benefit from an investigator who understands the importance of precise language and careful documentation.

Her corporate background and Master of Business Administration contribute business, accounting, and analytical skills to complex assignments. She also brings experience obtaining, reviewing, and analyzing government records through public disclosure processes and Freedom of Information Act requests.

As a U.S. Army combat veteran, Alondra brings discipline and adaptability to demanding situations. At Cedar & Pine, those qualities support attentive client communication, deliberate fact-finding, and clear investigative reporting.
