It doesn't matter if it's a Criminal or Civil case, if I'm working for the Prosecution or the Defense, my analysis and opinions won't change as they are based on the evidence, the science, and the regulations. It's about the facts; they don't change.
Bringing an expert onto your legal team provides a wealth of experience to assess whether processes were followed as required to produce valid, reliable results. Whether the investigation was complete and thorough in the observation and documentation of evidence, and whether the interpretation of those observations was accurate. The investigation should culminate in a correct decision regarding arrest and the charges pending.
Forensic Analysis Package
Analyze discovery to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the case, highlighting any errors, omissions, or discrepancies while ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and statutes. Highlight areas for negotiation with opposing counsel and for preparing questions for court hearings. You don't just get a comprehensive analysis; you get an expert resource on your team that provides service beyond the report. Attorney consultations, additional research, transcription review, language translation, discovery auditing, and attorney support. Expert reports are written as case opinions or as rebuttal opinions. Reporting options vary, with turnaround times usually within two weeks of receiving the required discovery and funding.
Premium Option: Comprehensive forensic discovery analysis notes from beginning to end, with an expert opinion report on the investigation or a rebuttal opinion to another expert’s opinion.
Limited Option: The analysis level remains the same; the level of information provided changes, and testimony options are limited too. Summarized analysis notes, expert case opinion only, or partial element analysis only.
Review Option: Initial review of the case discovery with brief feedback to help you decide on your options.
