Criminal Defense Investigations

Professional private investigations of circumstances surrounding criminal charges can
uncover latent evidence and provide defense witnesses that can alter the direction of a
case before it ever sees a courtroom. Background investigations can help establish
witness credibility, discover new witnesses and develop fresh leads.

The difference between a guilty verdict and acquittal is often the quality of evidence
presented at trial. A competent criminal defense investigation ensures the highest quality
evidence is procured and properly presented in court. As former New Jersey law
enforcement Detectives, we have the experience needed to uncover and assemble this
evidence. Review of a prosecution’s discovery details can expose exploitable conflicts or
weaknesses in their case against you.

Moreover, if you have already been convicted of a crime or incarcerated, our
investigational services can help provide evidence of innocence by utilizing techniques
such as reexamination of state evidence and subsequent witness interview.

likely to produce positive results. Some of the services we offer:
