Guide to Criminal Defense Investigation

Criminal investigation is a material and necessary part of winning a case. Before the government files a case, they have an entire force of police and investigators gather evidence against you.

But who’s doing a “criminal defense” investigation on your behalf?

Sacramento Criminal Defense – Investigation Team

At the Rosenfeld Law Firm our Sacramento criminal defense lawyers have as part of their team, several former law enforcement officers and investigators.

Our criminal defense investigation team work on each of our cases, reviewing the reports and interviewing the witnesses listed in the police reports from the prosecution, to determine what was really said and what was really meant.

In addition, our criminal defense investigation team is able to get to the bottom of the story by gathering crucial defense evidence, interviewing the witnesses that the police “forgot” to interview, and making sure the evidence necessary for a complete defense is available to our criminal defense lawyers.

Having “trained” former law enforcement agents on our criminal defense investigation team is always a benefit to our clients.

Investigators Who Have Worked on Both Sides

Each investigator on Rosenfeld’s criminal defense investigation team has worked on (and understands) the other side. They know the tricks of the trade.

Our criminal defense investigators can review the reports and know where critical information (that may have been in favor of our clients) was left out.

Often the difference between winning a criminal defense case and not winning comes down to that one piece of critical defense evidence. 

Criminal Defense Lawyer – Defending Your Rights

I am Ken Rosenfeld, principal criminal defense lawyer with The Rosenfeld Law Firm.

Over my legal career, with more than one hundred trials, I know how important it is to have quality criminal defense investigation when building a defense case.

Our former law enforcement officers and investigators are part of a legal team of criminal defense lawyers and professionals who are dedicated to protecting your rights.

We have our criminal defense investigators go to court and listen to the testimony of the prosecution witnesses before hitting the streets to check the accuracy of their testimony.

Our investigators have special access to information that is not available to the general public.

As part of our criminal defense investigation work, Rosenfeld investigators can do a full background check on all prosecution witness. This background investigation may include finding out the complete criminal records, judgments, credit reports, property owned or sold, and an entire host of other personal data and information about the prosecution witnesses.

The benefit for the criminal defense is that we do not have to disclose what we find out about adverse witnesses.

Our investigation is often part of the defense strategy; to wait for the adverse witness to make up a story while testifying and then confront them with the critical information that we learned through our own investigation.

Leveling the Playing Field in the Court of Law

Your case is the most important case and your freedom is a job we take very seriously.

The government has a variety of investigators and police officers at their disposal and when we step into a California court of law on your behalf, we level the playing field by having our own highly trained and highly qualified criminal defense investigators assist us in your case.
