Frequently asked questions.
Answers for attorneys and for individuals and families. If your question is not here, call 404-664-6637.
For attorneys and law firms.
Do you work directly with law firms?
Yes. We work with criminal defense, civil, and personal injury firms on a contract basis, for a single task or an entire case. Long-term and short-term projects are available.
Who directs the case?
Your attorneys do. We manage the agreed investigative work and keep your team informed. Legal strategy, filings, and court decisions stay with the attorney of record.
Can you help with cases outside Georgia?
Yes. We provide remote research, case review, and consulting nationwide. Field investigations are evaluated by jurisdiction, licensing requirements, and the availability of qualified personnel, and out-of-state work can be coordinated with appropriately licensed professionals.
What if we are not sure what the case needs?
Start with a conversation. You do not need a list of assignments before you call. We will help identify the questions that matter, the gaps in the evidence, and any time-sensitive leads.
Do you provide expert witnesses?
We maintain a network of experts in fields including medicine, DUI, accident reconstruction, real estate, and construction, and can help coordinate them for your case.
Can you prepare affidavits from witness interviews?
Yes. Witness interviews can include a high-quality recording, a typed report, and an affidavit if requested. A commissioned Georgia notary is on our team.
How are fees handled?
Every matter is different. We discuss the scope of work and budget with you before work begins, and before the agreed scope expands.
