An INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION is critical to effective criminal defense and can make the difference between a verdict of GUILTY or NOT GUILTY, or whether a case is dismissed prior to trial.
When we take on your criminal case, we are committed to doing a thorough DEFENSE INVESTIGATION to locate evidence and any witnesses whose testimony may be favorable (and to identify those whose testimony may be unfavorable). We look for any testimony or evidence that may help to:
• Get your Case Dismissed before trial.
• Prove your Claims at trial.
• Disprove the Prosecutor’s Claims at trial.
• Corroborate our Witnesses and Evidence.
• Impeach the State’s Witnesses or Evidence.
The Prosecutor Has Investigators Working to Convict You
The prosecutor has all the power and resources of the government at their disposal. They can call on investigators from multiple law enforcement agencies to assist them.
Prosecutors can call on a wide range of Law Enforcement personnel to help them collect evidence and interview witnesses, from the Patrol Officers to the Detectives who are assigned to any given case. They have Investigators who work in their office helping to build a case against you, and they have the benefit of Crime Labs and experts who can testify for them on any topic.
When your Prosecutor needs additional resources, they need only make a call or sign a slip of paper to get the funding they want.
Why Do You Need an Independent Criminal Defense Investigation?
The Police, Detectives, and Prosecutors are collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses with the goal of obtaining evidence that they can use to get the result they want. Shouldn’t you be doing the same?
There may be key elements of your defense that are missing, evidence that has been "OVERLOOKED," and witnesses that were not located or questioned because the police didn’t think they would be helpful to them. Police Officers, Detectives, and Prosecutors may Exaggerate or even outright lie about the evidence in some cases, and the only way you will discover misconduct is if your Attorney Investigates and looks for INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE in addition to the discovery provided by the Prosecutor.
An Independent Investigation by your Criminal Defense Lawyer is not just a luxury - it is your lawyer's duty to conduct an independent investigation, and numerous reported appellate opinions from the state and federal courts have found that it is ineffective assistance of counsel when a defense lawyer does not conduct an independent investigation.
​
Our criminal defense investigators are all honorably retired law enforcement and/or military investigators with decades of training and expertise in complex criminal investigations ranging from drunk driving, to capital murder cases. Expertise in interviews and interrogations, crime scene investigations, search warrants, relevant evidence, courtroom testimony and demeanor sets us apart from firms who are still trying to hone those skills in order to compete in this arena.

“Investigations into mitigating evidence should comprise efforts to discover all reasonable available mitigating evidence and evidence to rebut any aggravating evidence that may be introduced by the prosecutor.” - Retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Supreme Court of the United States

What is Criminal Defense Mitigation?
​
Defense lawyers rely upon the MITIGATION INVESTIGATORS to find and flesh out the mitigation fact patterns that will be presented at trial. The failure of the mitigation investigator to perform their stressful, expansive, and detailed tasks can mean the difference between life and death.
​
Criminal Defense Mitigation is detailed research into the client’s past. It is the history that reflects early life, school experiences and adolescence tracing factors that affect the client’s physical, social, emotional and psychological condition today. We cannot state too often for both counsel and defendant how important the collecting of this information is to help judges and juries see the defendant as a person with unique life experiences and family history and coming from an environment that influenced how they came to where they are, and not just as a criminal.
​
Each MITIGATION INVESTIGATOR must identify, locate, and retrieve all the records ever generated about the defendant, along with all the records that have been generated about their immediate and extended family members. Depending on the severity of the case these include but are not limited to (for the defendant as well as family members):
​
* birth certificates
* hospital birth records
* medical records, including private physicians, clinics and hospitals.
* school records
* social service records
* records from agencies and foster homes
* juvenile records
* adult criminal records
* probation and parole records
* employment records
* psychological and psychiatric records
* military records
​
The job does not end with gathering boxes and boxes of documents. The mitigation investigator undertakes comprehensive, lengthy, and sensitive interviews that often deal with personal, private issues with the client and as many individuals as possible who have known the client, such as:
​
* family members
* friends
* neighbors
* teachers
* counselors
* church members
* Sunday School teachers
* co-workers
* employers
* spouses, ex-spouses
* boyfriends/girlfriends and ex-boyfriends/girlfriends
* physicians
* nurses
* mental health providers (psychiatrists, psychologists)
* social services personnel
* military peers
* probation officers
* parole officers
* attorneys
* guards
* police officers
