Addressing your most sensitive issues, we provide you with the information you need, when you need it, to make the best possible decisions. From mergers and acquisitions to licensing and executive screening, we provide various services tailored to meet each client’s needs.
Investigations
Criminal Defense Investigations
Our current and former law enforcement team has over 25 years of experience conducting criminal investigations. These include crimes against persons such as murder, aggravated assault, rape, robbery, and crimes against property such as theft of property, burglary, and auto theft.
The key to a successful criminal defense case is an in-depth investigation. The discovery of an overlooked detail in a criminal defense investigation could be the difference between your or your client’s freedom and incarceration. Our goal is to assist clients in determining facts and obtaining the truth. We accomplish this by taking the following steps in each of our investigations:
- Review the case with the client and prepare an investigative outline and plan
- Conduct an extensive analysis of the discovery materials, reports, and evidence
- Identify and interview potential defense witnesses
- Examine the crime scene
- Determine missing information, exculpatory evidence, and oversize in the police investigation
- Prepare a comprehensive report of findings
Civil Investigations
A civil investigation is non-criminal in nature and usually involves a dispute between individuals or organizations. Whether you seek to gather information for a civil trial or gain intelligence on an individual’s activity, our professional investigators are here to assist. Some common types of civil investigations we specialize in include:
- Background investigations: A comprehensive and exhaustive search of an individual’s history
- Personal injury: Gathering information and facts about how an injury occurred
- Workman’s compensation: Identifying potential insurance fraud
- Child custody investigations: Identifying possible child neglect and violations of a court order
- Marital investigations: Investigations involving domestic abuse or infidelity
Asset Investigations
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse states that fewer than half of fraud victims recover losses. As fraud examiners, C&A is good at following and finding the money. Fraudsters do not just steal money; they hide it. Whether you are searching for assets associated with a business or assets related to an individual, our investigators have the knowledge, skills, training, and practical experience to locate these assets. Through our asset investigations, we utilize innovative and regulatory-compliant techniques to uncover hard-to-find accounts, property, and other assets.
