For Defense Attorneys
You need an investigator who can move fast, reach the witnesses others can’t, and document everything cleanly enough to hold up in court. That’s the work I do — in English and in Spanish.

Locating, interviewing, and documenting witnesses — including those reluctant to talk to anyone tied to the system.
Mitigation Investigations
Building the full human picture for sentencing: background, circumstances, and context that matter.
Background Investigations
Thorough, defense-focused background work on the parties and witnesses in a case.
Social Media Investigations
Surfacing and preserving relevant digital evidence and online activity.
Case Development
Organizing facts, timelines, and leads into a clear, usable defense narrative.
Trial Preparation Support
Field work done and documented so your attorney walks into trial ready.
How I Work With Your Defense Team
A clear, court-ready process from the first call to trial — so you always know where your investigation stands.
1 · Intake & Case Review
We start with a confidential consultation to understand your theory of the case, your deadlines, and exactly where the facts need to be developed.
2 · Field Investigation
I locate and interview witnesses, document scenes, pull records, and pursue the leads others miss — in English or Spanish, and without an interpreter.
3 · Court-Ready Documentation
You receive clear, organized reports and declarations — prepared to hold up under scrutiny and support your defense at every stage.
Available for court-appointed & panel cases. You get responsive turnaround, clear communication throughout, and documentation prepared to your standards — including familiarity with county billing for appointed matters.
