Whether for settlement or trail, we can assist in the legal preparation necessary for case determination.  The legal preparation can consist of gathering evidence, locating and identifying possible conflicts of interest, locating witnesses, documenting events and material changes, validating rumors, researching background history of parties involved, researching assets, and retrieving related court documents pertinent to the case.

For the criminal defense attorney, we specialize in the following services:  pre-trial preparation and investigations, witness interviews, obtaining and verifying evidence, substantiating and investigating allegations, criminal history searches, documenting and finding historical events pertinent to the case, background checks, court document searches, police reports, and identifying evidence missed during discovery.

Litigation Support is such a broad and varied field. It can encompass many different specialties, industries, experts, consultants, and technologies.  Finding the most qualified support services for your client may be daunting and time-consuming.  We can help fine- tune the process and single out the best experts, with the right experience, for the right price, and with the right knowledge to give you an edge over the competition.  We can research their credentials and previous court/testimonial histories prior to signing them on.

Trail Preparation, Litigation Support, and Case Management work together to form the architecture, structure, and direction of any case, be it criminal or civil.  Without the proper time and resources to apply to trial preparation, the attorney and staff can feel rushed to make decisions and judgments not necessarily in the best interest of the client.  We offer a structured approach which communicates and interfaces with all team members thereby relieving stressors as to time commitments, preparedness, recent changes, and directionality of the case.

Witnesses play a crucial part in any investigation and their statements can impact the outcome of your case.  Our ability to communicate and elicit valuable information form witnesses is key to the direction of a settlement or trail.  From formulating key questions to selecting the best approach to questioning witnesses, our experience will be invaluable to you and your client's success.

We investigate the illegal use of Intellectual Property (Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents), corporate/business name, and protect clients from the diversion of company profits as a result of such activity. We can obtain the necessary evidence that will enable the successful prosecution of those that would infringe on such intellectual property.  In addition, we provide general research on existing trademarks, copyrights, and patents.

We offer physical surveillance while observing the existing privacy laws in place in that particular jurisdiction or state and its limitations.  We are mindful of court decisions that may apply to surveillance, including video, photographic, or reported evidence, in any given situation or case.  Proper surveillance and documentation can be the determining factor in cases where the accused is confronted by a hostile witness with questionable habits or a sordid past.  Whether such evidence can be submitted is up to the attorney or court and whether or not it is relevant to the case at hand.  We offer digital high-end video, digital still, and sequence reporting for attorneys, businesses, individual consumers, insurance claims, and worker comp cases.
