There are two primary reasons that our team conducts criminal defense investigations – the first is to defend and the second is to reveal.

Criminal Defense Investigation

Evidence for Criminal Defense Investigation

A private investigator conducting a criminal defense investigation fulfills one of the most important roles on the defense team. The criminal defense investigator gathers information about the case and verifies and validates all that has been done by the investigating police department. A private criminal defense investigation is absolutely vital when someone depends on getting a fair trial, when they may lose their life or freedom because of an over-zealous or phony allegation.

One of the most important elements of a successful criminal defense investigation is having an experienced private investigator on your team as soon as possible. The prosecution is stacked with investigators, from police officers to investigators specifically employed by the prosecution.  Defendants are lucky if they can afford one investigator.

It is important to understand that your attorney is not conducting a criminal defense investigation.

Why? In criminal litigation, if your attorney discovers anything important while investigating for his/her client, the attorney becomes a witness. Once your attorney becomes a witness, he/she can no longer represent you.

A criminal defense is a strategic argument that attempts to challenge the validity and the sufficiency of the prosecution’s evidence. The criminal defense you choose will depend on what crime you are charged with and on the evidence. Every defendant deserves a fair trial and to have a complete and thorough defense presented on his/her behalf. Your attorney can best represent you when he/she has a truthful foundation of evidence. It is the job of the criminal defense investigation to seek the truth so that the defendant’s attorney can provide the most solid defense possible.

Not all criminal defense investigators are equal. Experience counts, especially when someone’s life or freedom depends on getting a fair trial. The defense investigator’s job is all-encompassing. The investigator has basic knowledge that includes blood stains, human anatomy, crime scene reconstruction, photography and interviewing and locating witnesses. You need a skilled professional that is also self-confident enough to artfully testify while being scrutinized without losing their composure.

During the course of a criminal investigation, a private investigator can help ensure that an innocent client will not be found guilty. While law enforcement agencies everywhere are overwhelmed and vital evidence often goes unnoticed, the team at Rockwell Investigations & Consulting examines the whole story by evaluating forensic and behavioral clues. Rockwell Investigations & Consulting is known nationally for consulting with the leading experts in the country to ensure your investigation is top notch.

If you have been accused of a crime, don’t let too much time pass before you hire an experienced criminal defense investigator. In many cases, once you have been accused, law enforcement’s sole focus is only on the evidence that points to the accused. While the wheels of justice slowly turn, people’s memories fade and evidence goes unnoticed; even worse, it gets lost or destroyed. A timely criminal defense investigation can make the difference in keeping your freedom and liberties.
