Founder & Principal Advisor — Retired FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge
Over thirty years with the Federal Bureau of Investigation shaped a particular kind of professional: one who understands that the quality of an investigation is measured not only by its findings, but by the precision and integrity of every step that produced them.
As Assistant Special Agent in Charge, Luis Rivera Santana directed complex multi-jurisdictional investigations across domains of public corruption, organized crime, financial fraud, and national security — cases where the margin for error was zero and where institutional credibility was always at stake.
The founding of LARS Advisors was a natural extension of that career: an opportunity to apply federal standards to the private sector challenges where they are most needed, on behalf of clients who demand nothing less.
LARS Advisors accepts limited engagements. Every client works directly with Luis. Every engagement is held to the same standard that defined three decades of federal service.
