Criminal Defense Investigations

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.

SEC Investigations will evaluate your case and formulate an investigative approach most
likely to produce positive results. Some of the services we offer:

  • Witness locating and Screening

I first met Scott Christopher while he was working for the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department in their Narcotics Task Force. During the course of our association, Scott has proven his innate investigative ability. I can attest to his advanced surveillance techniques. He is an individual who I trust implicitly and rely upon to assist our organization with our investigative needs. Scott is not only extremely dependable but also uniquely resourceful.

I met Christine Christopher when she was a Detective within the North Haledon Police Department. Her Detective skills are outstanding. Her field work and intellectual ability are of merit. It is without reservation, that I highly recommend SEC Investigations for any investigative assignments.

I’ve known Scott Christopher for 15 years. As his supervisor in the Bureau of Narcotics, I was impressed with his investigative talent, initiative and determination. As a co-worker and friend, I know of few men possessing his level of skill, diligence or integrity.

I had the pleasure of working with Christine Christopher while she was on loan to the Passaic County’s Prosecutor’s office. She is versatile in her approach to investigation with the ability to consistently add substance to developing cases. Her dependability and determination are of note.

I unconditionally endorse SEC Investigations for any of your investigative needs.
