Find the evidence before the trial does.
While counsel prepares the case, we work the facts: locating and interviewing witnesses, testing the State’s evidence, and turning up what the discovery left out.
An investigator who reads the case like counsel does.
We understand the evidence, the relevant statutory and case law, and the rules for preserving what we find so it is admissible and ready for trial.
Our investigations have changed the course of cases. In one capital prosecution, defense work on cell phone records and location data, new witness statements, photographs and video led the State to drop every charge against a client who had been held for nearly three years.
What we do for the defense.
Witness location & interviews
We find the people others could not, build rapport, and take statements and affidavits that hold up in court. Often there is only one chance to get it right.
Discovery & evidence review
A careful read of discovery, reports and recordings to find contradictions, gaps and leads that need follow up.
Phone & location records
Analysis of call detail records and cell location evidence, the kind of work that has placed a client somewhere other than the scene.
Social media investigations
Posts, photos, videos and connections, collected and preserved for use in court.
Theory of Defense Report
A case summary that identifies potential theories, motives, contradictions, favorable and unfavorable facts, key witnesses and open questions.
Trial support
Witness coordination, subpoenas and preparation through verdict, so counsel can focus on the courtroom.
Past the database report.
The best time to understand a person or business is before you are involved with them.
A background check pulls public records: addresses, property, criminal history and motor vehicle records. A background investigation goes further. When we find an arrest, a lien, a judgment or a bankruptcy, we obtain the documents that support it and, when necessary, locate and interview the people named in them.
The result is a detailed profile of a person’s professional and personal history that lets you make fact-based decisions. Investigations are conducted nationally, for law firms, companies and individuals, and every engagement is confidential.
We follow federal and state law. Bank, financial and phone records are obtained only with the account holder’s consent or by subpoena, court order or warrant.
The sooner we start, the more we find.
