PROFESSIONAL INVESTIGATION

 

 

 

 

 
 

CRIMINAL DEFENSE INVESTIGATION

Good investigators have the ability to think critically about a case. This quality in an investigator is even especially important in criminal cases because the client has so much at stake.  A criminal defense investigator has a unique ability to dig exhaustively to uncover all the relevant evidence. 

 

Our investigators will work closely with you and your attorneys at all levels of your case to develop a well-reasoned investigation strategy.  We have experience assisting lawyers whose clients were charged for murder, aggravated burglary, aggravated arm robbery, kidnapping, child endangerment, and other serious charges.  

 

This type of case work up has contributed to case outcomes, leading to acquittals, reduced charges, discovery of jury misconduct, reduced sentences, or even refute the DA's case theory.  

 

Also specializing in preliminary hearings, fact investigation, capital fact investigation, and mitigation investigation.

​CIVIL LAW INVESTIGATION

 

  • Title IX Investigation

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​​​​​​​

Thorough, independent, and accurate investigations conducted for universities and colleges.

​

Educational institutions are responsible for gathering evidence in formal Title IX complaints. The institution, not the complainant or respondent, must conduct investigations and collect facts for accurate decision-making during hearings. However, both parties have the right to gather and present evidence under Title IX regulations.

 

Institutions must respond to Title IX complaints and complete investigations promptly.  We prioritize preserving witness testimony and addressing concerns about fading or confused memories. We focus on timely completion for the benefit of all parties and the institution. Factors like the complexity of allegations, law enforcement involvement, and the number of people involved can affect the timeline, but we ensure prompt completion within 30 days.

Information in these types of cases is crucial to your case's success.
