Criminal Defense Investigations

Have you been wrongfully charged with a crime?

KHutch Investigations conducts criminal investigations for defense attorneys including privately retained attorneys as well as State and Federal appointed attorneys. We are approved to work on Capital Cases through the Capital Defenders Office. We are approved to work on non-capital cases through the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). These investigations generally cover interviewing witnesses, reviewing and studying the crime scene and taking photos as well as video if necessary.

We take the discovery information from the prosecutor and study it. This study may include doing diagrams using law enforcement’s evidence to determine what really happened. All of this is done to see if the prosecution has a valid case and to assist the defense attorney by determining what actually happened compared with what the client might say happened. All of this work amounts to a better representation of the client.

There is no question the most qualified people in the world to conduct criminal investigations are experienced law enforcement officers and detectives. It is unfortunate, however, that some investigations conducted by the state are one-sided. That is, the focus of law enforcement agencies can sometimes be too narrow, or even completely misguided. After all, local police departments and federal agencies are only human. They can and do make mistakes.

What happens if either you, someone you know and love, or one of your clients if you are an attorney, finds himself on the wrong end of a police mistake? Since law enforcement agencies are the best at launching criminal investigations, wrongly accused individuals are at a considerable disadvantage. Trials can boil down to one person's version of the truth versus the state's idea of what happened. Defense attorneys must disprove the work of seasoned police detectives without knowing for sure what actually happened.

Fortunately, defense attorneys and private citizens who are dissatisfied with the criminal investigations conducted by the state do have the option of hiring private investigators who are equally or more adept at revealing the truth than federal and state law enforcement agencies. Here at KHutch Investigations, our highly specialized private investigators can level the playing field whenever the state launches an unfair investigation. We gather court-admissible evidence that can set you or someone you know free from a wrongful conviction.

Maybe you have an idea of how you or someone else ended up being wrongfully accused. You might have a strong gut feeling of what really happened, but no real proof. Our professional investigators can follow up on your suspicions and turn your theories into facts.

Professional, up-to-date investigative techniques are utilized in order to gather the evidence necessary to support a successful criminal defense investigation. These techniques are initiated and maintained throughout the investigation.
