WHY YOU NEED US
CRIMINAL DEFENSE - ACCIDENT and INSURANCE INVESTIGATION - CIVIL LITIGATION
Very few, if any, successful
attorneys have the time and resources to conduct an extensive and thorough
investigation. A thorough investigation is critical and often can entail
activities that require time consuming work. All known witness should be located
and interviewed, along with other witness that will develop as the investigation
unfolds. Law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys and opposing council often focus
on evidence, information and witnesses that will support their case rather than
all of the objective facts and circumstances that are involved. Without an
extensive and through independent investigation by a private investigative
agency, evidence, information and witnesses that will support your case may
never be known or revealed. This is true regardless if your case is criminal
defense or determining the cause and extent of an accident or injury.
Private Investigators are often more experienced in locating and interviewing
witness than attorneys, and often must travel into areas and deal with
individuals that an attorney may not wish to. In most cases, a good investigator
can better relate and communicate with witnesses of widely diversified
backgrounds, social status and ethnic origins. This fact, coupled with other
investigative and information resources results in a great amount of candid and
useful information that may then be later used by the attorney.
The use of an experienced and qualified investigator by an attorney or law firm
creates an exceptional team. The investigative expenses in a defense case are
paid by the client above and beyond the attorney fees, thus costing the attorney
nothing. Almost all of the appointed felony defense cases qualify for
investigative service, with these services being paid by the states Indigent
Defense Fund. In addition to the standard investigative services, a private
investigator or agency can be used to review discovery documents, serve legal
papers as the relate to the investigation, and provide support and feedback for
the attorney during the investigation and the trial.
DOMESTIC - CHILD WELFARE/CUSTODY - INSURANCE FRAUD
A private investigator often
obtains a great amount of information through covert surveillance This often
requires a great deal of time and patience, especially in the cases of divorce
and child custody. Videotaped evidence of subject's activity and associates is
extremely difficult to argue, and shows the courts in no uncertain terms what is
occurring in the subject's daily life. Often one can learn covertly from the
subject's associates what the subject is involved with, and these persons can
later be subpoenaed for depositions and courtroom testimony under oath.
Often during a divorce and the legal battle over finances, possessions and child
custody, the front that is observed by law enforcement, social workers and
therapists, and the court differs greatly from what is actually occurring on a
day to day basis. The same is true for the "injured" person who arrives at
doctor appointments and hearings with a neck brace and cane, yet plays golf
later that day and has a part time, cash paying job. In these situations, the
covert surveillance videotaped evidence and testimony of associates can be used
by the attorney to bring a close, in your favor, to the seemingly endless
litigation that these type of cases usually incur.
Often information is obtained through criminal and civil background
investigations of not only the subject, but also the close associates of the
subject. This information often helps to prove or disprove the credibility and
truthfulness of the subject and witnesses.
