Defense-side investigation, start to sentencing.
Our shop was built for what modern defense needs: analyzing police investigations and interrogating the digital multimedia evidence (DME) prosecutors produce to determine whether it actually supports their theory of the case. You get the independent facts to test and challenge.
Fire Origin and Cause
IAAI-certified fire investigators for arson allegations and cause-and-origin disputes. Independent analysis of the fire scene using a standards-based approach following the scientific method.
Records Investigation
Criminal histories, civil judgments, employment, financial records, and background on anyone in a case. In criminal defense, this builds context for mitigation, identifies witness credibility problems, or establishes alibi. We also conduct internal corporate investigations. Our investigators are former prosecutors and law enforcement who know how to run a thorough, properly documented investigation that withstands outside counsel and auditor review.
Mitigation
Life-history investigation that works in plea negotiations and at sentencing. Develop the record that shows the person, not just the charge. When prosecutors see who your client actually is—why something happened, the reasons they’re not a future danger—negotiations shift.
Witness Development
Locating, interviewing, and re-interviewing witnesses. Testing whether the reports match what the witnesses will actually say, developing statements the defense can use, and finding the witnesses the State never talked to.
Crime Scene & Evidence Review
Independent review of the scene, the physical evidence, and the chain of custody by investigators who supervised crime scene units and worked major cases. Where the State says the evidence is conclusive, we test how it got there.
