We operate offices in New York, Washington, D.C., Columbus, and Chicago, and are a member of the Innocence Network.

    • Handling investigations at all stages of the litigation process
    • Locating witnesses
    • Reading and absorbing contents of police reports and court transcripts to help prepare investigative plans
    • Thoroughly preparing for and interviewing witnesses
    • Taking written statements from witnesses
    • Communicating comfortably and adeptly with individuals from all socio-economic backgrounds
