    Frequently Asked Questions

    When should I hire a private investigator for a criminal case?

    It's best to hire a private investigator as early as possible in the process. The sooner we can begin investigating, the better chance we have of finding critical evidence before it disappears and interviewing witnesses while memories are fresh.

    How do you work with defense attorneys?

    We work directly with defense attorneys as part of the defense team. We provide regular updates, share our findings, and coordinate strategy. All of our work is protected by attorney-client privilege when properly structured.

    What makes your criminal investigation services different?

    Our team includes former law enforcement officers who understand how criminal investigations work from the inside. We know what to look for and how to find the weaknesses in a prosecution's case that others might miss.

    Are your investigations confidential?

    Absolutely. We maintain strict confidentiality in all of our cases. When working under the direction of an attorney, our work is generally protected by attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine.
