Investigations for Court Use
Most investigations conducted by Investigation Network are undertaken with the understanding that the results may be used in court. However, our approach varies depending on the situation. Some cases require our agents to work closely with a client’s lawyers, ensuring full cooperation and coordination from the start. In other cases, we seek solutions that may negate the need for legal intervention altogether.
Is There an Alternative to Using a Lawyer?
One of the main concerns our clients express is the rising cost of legal fees. Once a matter enters the courts, with claims and counterclaims, it can quickly spiral out of control. An alternative approach is utilizing a private investigator. In many instances, a private investigator can offer a more cost-effective solution by gathering crucial information about the opposing party. This information can often be used to persuade them to consider alternative, more favorable solutions.
We have a team of specialist negotiators who, once a file is prepared and the necessary information gathered, work to resolve disputes between parties without the need for legal proceedings. In many personal and corporate disputes, there are sensitive areas that the opposing party would prefer to keep private. This gives us leverage to negotiate a settlement without going to court. The key is providing the other party with motivation and incentive to pursue negotiation over litigation. Our range of specialized skills in this area frequently yields impressive, cost-effective results.
How Law Firms Instruct Us
We are frequently instructed directly by law firms, often with minimal or no direct contact with their clients. Additionally, many of our investigations are conducted under the direction of corporate legal departments, with offices and agents across multiple countries. Investigation Network is perfectly positioned to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our operatives, based in various countries, have a deep understanding of local legal climates and work accordingly.
With our vast array of resources, we ensure that our investigations align with the requirements of each specific litigation or criminal case.
Supporting Criminal Matters
Too often, criminal cases are neglected or ignored by law enforcement and prosecutors. In such instances, we have successfully prepared and investigated cases that would have otherwise been abandoned. This ensures that criminals are not allowed to walk free when the system fails.
By working closely with law firms and legal departments, we conduct forensic investigations that essentially “gift-wrap” cases for prosecutors, ensuring they are fully prepared to take action. In many cases, prosecutors are compelled to act to avoid public embarrassment, as failing to do so could be seen as dereliction of duty. Our expert witnesses are available to testify if needed.

Criminal Defense Investigations
Many of our detectives involved in criminal defense investigations are retired law enforcement officers, which gives them unique insight into both sides of a case. This background allows them to identify the strengths and weaknesses of opposing investigations, benefiting our clients.
Our team's experience in both civil inquiries and law enforcement, combined with intelligence-gathering expertise, is utilized in all types of criminal matters, including appeals. Furthermore, our agency’s forensic specialists are available to assist detectives working on defense cases or preparing evidence for law enforcement.
