Upon arrest, the prosecution side of your case typically possesses substantial resources to construct its case against you. These resources encompass police officers, detectives, forensic specialists, district attorneys, the courts, and other expert witnesses.

Your representation will be either a private attorney or a public defender, who is generally highly qualified and attentive to your case. However, even the most proficient attorneys have a demanding workload and limited time to dedicate to a comprehensive investigation of your case. This is where an experienced criminal defense investigator can assist your attorney by thoroughly reviewing and scrutinizing your case.

Your case deserves to be thoroughly investigated equally from the defense perspective. This ensures that proper legal procedures have been followed by law enforcement, potential witnesses have been identified and interviewed, and any exculpatory evidence has been identified and presented. Once the prosecution has focused on you as the suspect in a case, there may be evidence or witnesses that are overlooked but beneficial to your defense.

The burden of proof in your case lies with the prosecution. Your attorney must defend your case by presenting evidence that creates a reasonable doubt that you committed the crime. Criminal defense investigators’ primary focus will be on identifying, locating, and documenting this evidence.
