INDEPENDENT CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
Independent Criminal Investigations
Serious allegations deserve careful factual investigation. Investigative Services Unlimited Group works with private clients, families and counsel to examine available information, locate relevant witnesses and pursue specific leads in criminal matters. An assignment may support a defense, clarify an unresolved event or examine concerns about earlier investigative work.
We begin with questions that can be investigated: who personally observed an event, which records exist, whether a timeline is supported and what information has not yet been checked. The work is directed by a defined scope and accurate documentation, not by a promise to reach a preferred conclusion.
Criminal Matters We Can Discuss
Violent crime and serious felony allegations: witness accounts, sequence of events, locations, available recordings and other factual issues in matters such as robbery, assault and related offenses. The relevant work depends on the specific allegation and the available record.
Homicide and unresolved deaths: review of records and accounts, last-known movements, witness development and scene follow-up within an authorized assignment. Questions requiring a medical or other specialist opinion are identified for discussion with counsel or the appropriate professional.
Fraud, theft and financial allegations: organization of relevant records, communications and transaction chronologies, source verification and interviews. Financial or technical analysis requiring specialist expertise is addressed separately rather than assumed to be part of every assignment.
Other state and federal criminal matters: factual work involving drug-related allegations, disputed identification, alibi questions, missing witnesses and post-conviction leads. We assess whether the requested work fits the case, location, available authority and resources.
1. Define the Questions & Review the Existing Record
At intake, we discuss the case stage, known facts, deadlines, current representation and what has already been investigated. We identify the authorized client and reporting recipients, then agree on priorities, scope, fees and deliverables. Private clients may contact us directly; coordination with counsel is discussed where appropriate.
Reports, statements, photographs, recordings and other properly obtained materials are organized by source and issue. We distinguish firsthand observations from allegations, summaries and later interpretations. This initial review guides the interviews, requests and fieldwork that follow.
2. Locate People & Develop Voluntary Accounts
A witness may clarify an event, identify another source or reveal a gap in the current record. We use lawful methods to locate relevant people and request voluntary interviews. The report identifies what the person says they observed, the circumstances of the account and follow-up information that may be available.
Interview findings are compared with other sources where possible. Differences in wording, time or sequence are documented and evaluated as factual questions. We do not label an accusation proven merely because someone repeats it, and we record relevant information even when it does not support the initial theory.
3. Examine Locations, Timelines & Available Sources
Field investigation can include scene photographs, access routes, sightlines, surrounding businesses and inquiries about available recordings. Time-sensitive sources are identified early. Access to private locations, records or evidence depends on the necessary permission and lawful process.
A source-linked chronology helps show where people and events fit together. We identify estimates and conflicting time references and distinguish current scene conditions from those at the time of the event. Unsuccessful inquiries and unavailable records are documented along with useful findings.
4. Deliver Findings That Can Be Evaluated
The final work product is tailored to the scope and may include interview summaries, a chronology, photographs, records indexes and a lead memorandum. Confirmed information, unresolved contradictions and limitations are clearly identified. Counsel determines legal significance and any procedural action.
Clients receive progress updates as material information develops. If a new lead requires work beyond the agreed scope, we discuss priorities and cost before expanding the assignment. We can also identify reasonable follow-up questions where the available information remains incomplete.
Questions About an Earlier Investigation
A client or family may believe a witness was overlooked, a record was not obtained or an account was not fully examined. We can discuss a focused factual review of those concerns. The review documents the available record and remaining questions; it does not assume misconduct or replace legal advice about professional responsibility or a potential claim.
