As cases continue to grow complex with more discovery and information regarding the guilt phase as well as the sentencing phase, the services of a trained and dedicated investigator can be invaluable. Hear from a long time indigent defense investigator about the road map towards a successful investigation in all phases of a CJA case. An attorney will join the discussion of how the investigator can assist throughout the life cycle of a case, including quickly locating and interviewing witnesses, obtaining information from digital and paper records and seeking out information that can be important factors for the court to consider at sentencing. The discussion will include information about how to obtain funding for investigative and other expert services.
