What does a Private Investigator do?
Private Investigators use a variety of fact-finding tools and techniques to gather information for attorneys, or directly for private individuals.

The tasks a Private Investigator takes on can include background investigation, undercover work, studying crime scenes, and using a computer to investigate records or public data.

An attorney may assign a specific task to a Private Investigator, calculated to aid them in a particular aspect of their legal argument.

How is a Private Investigator useful in a legal self-defense use of force case?
Police reports and incident reports are not necessarily generated with a full and robust investigation of an incident due to the training level of officers, or available manpower.

Also, such reports are not created to benefit you, specifically.

A Private Investigator can look into your account of the incident from a variety of aspects–while also taking specific direction from your attorney that will be purposefully applicable to your legal position.

For example, a Private Investigator can locate and request security footage that the police may not have gathered. Or, a Private Investigator can seek out additional witness testimony or follow up on the testimony police have recorded—in addition to other fact-finding functions.

The services of a Private Investigator are a focused, in-depth array of tools designed to benefit you and your defense.
