The Crime Triangle
The theory was developed in 1979 by Lawrence Cohen and Marcus Felson, and is based on routine activity theory, a main theory of environmental criminology. The theory states that a crime occurs when a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian all come together in time and space. (IACP, 2023)

Witness Locates & Interviews
Sometimes "The State" hasn't interviewed everybody connected to the case. Sometimes a follow up interview was never conducted after new evidence was discovered or re-examined.
Statement & Report Examination
Witness Statements and Police Reports can be examined to better understand what actually happen, develop leads to missing discovery, or exculpatory information/evidence. These statements can be either audio or written
Digital Forensics
Our Digital Forensics Professionals can uncover important evidence in civil or criminal cases. In our hyper connected world often "The State" overlooks digital evidence or fails to thoroughly examine all the available digital evidence.
Homicide
Homicide cases are among the most serious and complex in the criminal justice system. It involves a type of homicide that includes one of more aggravating factors, such as the victim being a peace officer, the murder occurring during the commission of certain felonies, or the victim being a child under 10 years of age. Detailed examination of all evidence, including police reports, forensic evidence, and witness statements is vital to a successful defense
Sex Crimes
These criminal defense investigations are intricate and sensitive, requiring a thorough and methodical approach. Detailed examination of all evidence, including police reports, forensic evidence, and witness statements is vital.
