CRIMINAL DEFENSE INVESTIGATIONS
Criminal Defense Investigative Support
A criminal case should be evaluated from more than one perspective. Investigative Services Unlimited Group supports defense attorneys and may also be retained by defendants, families, and other authorized private clients. When counsel is involved, we coordinate the investigation with the legal team.
How We Help
- Discovery and evidence review: Review police reports, photographs, recordings, jail calls, discovery materials, timelines, and witness statements for conflicts, omissions, and follow-up leads.
- Witness investigation: Locate and interview witnesses, clarify prior statements, document relevant recollections, and identify additional people with information.
- Scene and timeline development: Conduct lawful scene follow-up, photograph relevant conditions, test routes or timing, and organize events into a working chronology.
- Background and lead research: Develop relevant information about witnesses, parties, locations, communications, and other lawful investigative leads.
Our Investigative Process
The assignment begins with counsel’s theory of the case, the charges, deadlines, discovery received, and questions requiring factual development. We prioritize fragile evidence and witnesses, document each investigative step, and communicate developments that may affect legal review. Work may continue through motions, trial preparation, sentencing, appeal, or post-conviction stages when authorized.
Information and Evidence We May Review
- Official materials: Reports, body-camera footage, dispatch information, recorded interviews, photographs, forensic summaries, and other available discovery.
- Defense materials: Client timelines, alibi information, communications, receipts, video, location information, and potential witness details.
- Independent sources: Lawfully obtained public records, scene observations, interviews, and third-party records made available through counsel or proper process.
Reporting and Case Coordination
Counsel may receive investigative reports, witness summaries, timelines, evidence indexes, lead memoranda, photographs, and source materials. We clearly identify what was observed, what a witness reported, and what remains unconfirmed.
Who We Assist
We assist in serious felony, homicide, fraud, white-collar, wrongful-conviction, false-arrest, and other Florida state or federal matters. Services are tailored to the evidence, defense objectives, jurisdiction, and stage of the case.
Defense Strategy and Case Assessment
We work with defense counsel to identify disputed facts, time-sensitive leads, potential witnesses, and discovery gaps. Each assignment is shaped around the issues in the case.
Discovery, Statements, and Timelines
Police reports, witness statements, photographs, video, and audio are reviewed together. We compare accounts, trace event sequences, and flag inconsistencies for counsel to evaluate.
Witness Development and Scene Follow-Up
We locate and interview potential witnesses, revisit relevant locations, document sightlines and conditions, and pursue corroborating information. Any surveillance is planned for a lawful, defined purpose.
Trial Preparation and Investigative Reporting
Counsel receives reports, interview summaries, organized supporting material, and a clear list of unresolved leads. We can discuss testimony concerning our own investigative work when needed.
Illustrative service photography; client identities and actual case evidence remain private.
Professional Boundaries
Our role is to gather and document facts. We do not provide legal advice, act as law enforcement, interfere with witnesses, conceal evidence, or promise an acquittal or other result.
Confidential Consultation
Every matter begins with a confidential discussion of the known facts, objectives, location, urgency, and lawful scope. Call 954-615-7382 to discuss an assignment with Investigative Services Unlimited Group.
