In most felony cases, Criminal Defense Attorneys and their clients benefit substantially from having an experienced defense investigator, such as myself. I objectively review the discovery in the case, meet with the attorney, and come up with an investigative plan.
My 33 years as a Criminal Investigator enable me to:
-Know what the Detective(s) should do on a case and what they should not do on a case.
-Know how to interview witnesses, assess their credibility, and obtain additional information not contained in police reports.
-Know how to accurately document witness interviews.
-Develop and locate additional witnesses not listed in the police reports.
-Review discovery to assess the strength of the government’s case and find areas of the case that could benefit from further investigation.
-Know when a law enforcement agency investigation is flawed or incomplete.
-Know what should be done forensically with evidence and what forensic processing was not done with evidence.
-Assist with interviewing and obtaining information from a client, as well as pursuing investigative leads provided by the client.
-Assist with interviewing victims in coordination with the Prosecutor’s Office.
