Headquartered in Wilmington, NC, the DEVAUS Group assists clients nationwide and internationally with thorough case review, quality assurance consultation and expert witness testimony for DUI/DWI-related incidents, controlled substances cases and within the cannabis industry. With over 17 years of experience in analytical chemistry, quality assurance management and laboratory operations management, our founder Bethany Pridgen brings an insider’s knowledge into your forensic case review. She has written, reviewed and edited hundreds of ISO 17025-compliant documents, standard operating procedures, forms and working instructions for forensic science laboratories.

Bethany is a practicing ISO 17025 lead and technical assessor for multiple accreditation organizations. She has performed analysis on and technically reviewed tens of thousands of forensic case and analytical samples as the technical lead and quality assurance manager in both controlled substances and blood alcohol testing laboratories. The DEVAUS Group can determine whether the work performed in your client’s case is accurate, reliable and meets requirements for accountability within the laboratory and the courtroom. We bring extensive experience and professionalism to every case and customize our support to your individual needs and concerns.

We are passionate about the growing cannabis industry. In our home state of NC and around the country, much of the cannabis industry is unregulated. We seek to ensure that users, retailers, and wholesalers are using legal, high-quality products. We can help individuals identify the best products for their needs and will research for retailers and wholesalers that their products are 3rd-party tested and the laboratories performing the testing are legitimate, accredited laboratories.
