Criminal Defense Investigations:

Experienced in everything from A&B to sex-related charges involving minors in both District and Superior courts.
I've led a multi-agency homicide defense investigation that crossed state lines.
Ultimately, my role is to work to support your client's innocence -or find mitigating factors that negate or reduce the charges.
I'm thorough, creative and diligent about uncovering the facts you need, to best defend your client.

Other Attorney services:

A full-service investigative agency, we offer other services to our clients:

Interviews and Statements:

20+ years experience conducting interviews and taking written and recorded statements.
I have taken statements with respect to nearly every type of criminal defense case, as well as any insurance/SIU claims.
Signed and recorded statements can "lock" in a witnesses testimony.
Statement questions are prepared in advance to assure all relevant lines of inquiry are thoroughly addressed.
Thoroughness in preparation is essential because we may only get one chance for an important interview.

Background Checks

What is the victim's reputation and character?
Do significant witnesses have a reputation for dishonesty in the community?
You need to know!
An inquiry into their character that goes beyond CORI, can yield the kind of information you may need to impeach their testimony.

Locates and Skip-Tracing

Discovery Services Investigations has had great success locating witnesses and other parties.
Police may not interview everybody and those they do interview, may not be forthcoming.
Additional witnesses can be identified, not available through the normal course of discovery.
Our resources have amassed over many years, and extend from social media/internet to newspapers, municipal records and a proprietary database available only to licensed investigators and law enforcement.

Miscellaneous

Trial preparation and litigation support.
We do the research and gather the facts, making sure to ensure all the avenues are pursued.
Getting background information about potential witnesses, is important. But, sometimes there's information the client has been reluctant to share.
Scene investigations including photos, diagrams and measurements can be provided.
Insurance defense investigations,accident scene investigations and analysis, document retrieval and more is available as you need it.

"It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished,
for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.
But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die,
then the citizen will say, 'Whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial,
for innocence itself is no protection, and if such an idea as that were to take
hold in the mind of the citizen, that would be the end of security whatsoever.' "
John Adams Dec 4, 1770
