How Private Investigators Assist Attorneys

Attorneys handle a demanding job requiring detailed research and accurate information. Even the most experienced lawyers can benefit from additional help in gathering essential evidence to build a strong case.

Private investigators serve as an invaluable asset to law firms. They assist in intelligence gathering at every phase of a case, equipped with up-to-date knowledge of investigative technology, trends, and legal regulations. By doing so, they help law firms get ready for trials and enable attorneys to make informed decisions. Here are some key ways private investigators enhance a law firm’s capabilities.

 

  • Comprehensive Background Checks: While attorneys are capable of conducting background checks, their daily bandwidth might be limited. Private investigators go further by researching family histories, police reports, and digital trails, including social media. This thorough approach provides attorneys with indispensable insights that may otherwise be overlooked.

 

  • Witness Location and Interviewing: Investigators are skilled at locating and interviewing witnesses, even after initial attorney interviews. They gather additional evidence that bolsters a case, securing comprehensive witness accounts early, which allows attorneys to focus their time and resources more effectively.

 

  • Allegation Investigation: Similar to attorneys, private investigators legally obtain and use information in court. They comb through public records and perform detailed digital investigations. This includes handling sensitive allegations like child abuse, support disputes, verifying employment, and assessing the truthfulness of incident reports. Their capabilities extend beyond standard background checks to provide critical information that solidifies a case.

 

  • Asset Discovery: In disputes involving family law, child custody, or business fraud, uncovering hidden assets is vital. Investigators locate concealed business assets, hidden bank accounts, and offshore accounts. This is essential for child support, alimony cases, or business embezzlement suspicions, particularly during divorce proceedings or whenever fraudulent behavior is suspected.

 

  • Legal Document Service: Private investigators also handle the serving of legal documents, ensuring that the recipients are informed of their rights and court obligations. This ensures the process is handled securely, efficiently, and professionally. Beyond evidence gathering, their courtroom assistance remains valuable, providing support during the legal proceedings.

 

  • Jury Investigation and Expert Testimony: Investigators contribute by assessing jury pools for fairness, offering deeper insights into case-related situations, and even taking the stand as expert witnesses when needed. Their role as a companion to attorneys can significantly impact the trial’s outcome.

 

By employing private investigators, law firms can enhance efficiency, better manage resources, and strengthen the foundation of their cases, leading to more successful outcomes.
