When your freedom is on the line, you need more than just an attorney—you need a skilled criminal defense investigator who can uncover the truth, find the evidence others miss, and challenge the prosecution’s case. At Yuma Private Investigations, we provide professional, discreet, and courtroom-ready investigative support for defense attorneys and individuals facing criminal charges in Arizona.
Why Hire a Criminal Defense Investigator?
The prosecution has law enforcement, state investigators, and unlimited resources on their side. A licensed Arizona private investigator levels the playing field by:
- Reviewing police reports for errors, omissions, or inconsistencies
- Interviewing witnesses and securing sworn statements
- Locating and subpoenaing hard-to-find witnesses
- Gathering video, digital, and physical evidence
- Conducting background checks on key witnesses and alleged victims
- Challenging timelines and officer testimony
- Providing expert testimony support
A strong defense starts with a strong investigation.
