Criminal Defense Investigation
One of the most important elements of successful criminal defense is having an experienced investigator on your defense team immediately. Following the defendant being arrested or charged with a crime, the government utilizes unlimited investigative resources to pursue and prosecute the defendant.
When discovery documents are received from the prosecution, the defense counsel is truly assigned with re-investigating the police investigation to ensure it was done legally, thoroughly and fairly. That task in and of itself can often be an overwhelming challenge and should not be pursued without an experienced investigator. After all, attorney’s are trained in law and court procedure, not to investigate. This is why private detective’s at Southland Detective Agency are licensed by the state of Florida, it’s the law.
