Why Should A Lawyer Hire A Private Investigator?
Root Investigations offers PI services for lawyers to help with cases such as child custody, divorce court, and workers comp fraud or insurance fraud investigations. Private investigators can be a great resource for gathering evidence and finding clues in a case. They have access to databases and resources that the average person does not, and they can often find information that is not readily available to the public. That’s why many lawyers keep private investigators on retainer to help with their cases. Root Investigations specializes in finding witnesses, locating evidence, and investigating claims for lawyers on Long Island.
A Private Investigator Can Help With:
Finding Credible Witnesses
In many court cases, it is critical to find a credible witness who can testify in court. A good witness can provide the information necessary to win over a jury, whether they’re defending a case or attempting to negotiate a settlement in case of personal injury litigation. In many circumstances, their names and other identifying information were not recorded in an official report. A private investigator can help track them down and gather information and statements from them.
Gathering Evidence
Private investigators can help collect physical or digital evidence to help with a case. Many electronic sources such as social media and email can be gathered by a private investigator, even if files have been deleted by a user. They can also help identify and track down potential sources of hidden income in a divorce case, or investigate insurance fraud.
Finding Hidden Assets
In some cases, it is important to find hidden assets – for example, in a child custody case where one parent is trying to hide money or property from the other. Private investigators may be able to search special databases in order to find assets of value, including offshore bank accounts, domestic bank accounts, registrations of aircraft, watercraft, real property, and other assets. A private investigator can help track down these assets and help ensure that they are properly accounted for in the final agreement.
Asset investigations can only be conducted if you have the legal documents proving you need one conducted.
Investigating Claims
Sometimes, it is necessary to investigate the other side of the story. A private investigator can help look into claims being made by either party and find proof of their validity. They can also help find evidence that disproves the other party’s claims. This can be especially important in cases where one person is making false accusations.
Monitoring of Intellectual Property
Intellectual property such as patents and trademarks can be monitored by a PI to help avoid infringement or competition. This also helps with cases where someone is using another’s idea without permission, especially if the individual does not know about it yet.
It is important for lawyers to hire private investigators for their cases because they have access to tools and knowledge that the average person does not. Private investigators know where to find information, and they can often find it more quickly than others. They are also able to follow up with other sources in order to get the answers needed for a case. See our blog for more information on how a private investigator can strengthen a legal case.
