Litigation support and expert witness testimony
Know your case better than the other side does.
Cases are rarely lost on the facts everyone knows. They're lost on the witness nobody re-interviewed, the background nobody checked, the weakness nobody saw coming until it was read into the record.
We review your criminal, civil or corporate case the way a seasoned investigator would, every piece of evidence included, and tell you plainly where you're strong and where you're exposed. Then we go back out and do the legwork that changes outcomes. One attorney put it simply: in a couple of cases, our discoveries were outcome determinative.
What's included
- Full case and evidence reviewA clear-eyed assessment of your strengths and your exposure, before opposing counsel finds them.
- Witness re-interviewsGoing back to the people involved, asking the questions that weren't asked the first time.
- Scene canvassingFinding new witnesses who were never contacted.
- Background and asset researchTesting the credibility of witnesses and parties before they take the stand.
- Expert witness testimonyTestimony from someone who has spent a career in law enforcement and knows how courts weigh evidence.
- Criminal, civil and corporate mattersSupport for defense and plaintiff's counsel, family law, and corporate disputes.
