 Criminal & White Collar Investigations The Detective Agency specializes in criminal investigations. We conduct timely, and thorough investigations in the following areas, that may involve alleged criminal activity:
A major objective of any good criminal defense is to break down prosecution witnesses by utilizing vigorous cross examination techniques, thus reducing if not eliminating their credibility and the weight given to their testimony by the judge or jury. This is where our expertise augments defense efforts. We provide critical investigations into all aspects of the defense case, which includes location of witnesses, statements, evaluation, evidence collection and review, independent analysis, background investigations, crime scene investigations, documentation analysis and regional canvassing, as well as other services directed by the client. The Agency gathers essential evidence, and witnesses that not only support your case, but aid in critical determinations that influence the outcome of verdicts. At The Detective Agency we have special access and a intimate understanding of the minority community, which has cultivated our unique niche in the field of civil and criminal investigations.
