Litigation Support
The beginning seems to be more than half of the whole. — Aristotle
Many attorneys see litigation support as service of process, interviewing the witness, surveilling, jury consulting, etc. However, litigation support almost entirely consists of gathering the right information and evidence.
Pre-litigation support is absolutely necessary because it provides a clear picture of the future of the case, which will help lawyers to make the right decision. Culper can assist in identifying witnesses, targets, accomplices, and allies. We can be helpful in gathering witness testimony and evidence that are admissible in court, including computer forensic data. Furthermore, our investigators are capable of performing comprehensive background checks, analyzing social media accounts, and conducting surveillance. Our investigators can assist attorneys in scrutinizing financial papers for evidence of fraud, which can strengthen an attorney's ability to obtain evidence that may remain undiscovered before initiating litigation. During litigation, we will help you to move your case in the right direction. For instance, in asset recovery or family law cases, an attorney can subpoena records if they have the relevant bank info; what if he doesn't? Considering the fact we have over 9,200 financial institutions in the US, will you be issuing subpoenas for each of them? Culper can conduct a financial search for all the financial institutions, including brokerage accounts, and provide a report identifying the financial institution, including its name, contact information, account balance, and recent transactions.
Furthermore, the information gathered by our investigators will be protected by attorney-client privilege through properly utilizing attorney guidance. United States v. Kovel. Additionally, as a licensed private investigation firm, we must and will maintain confidentiality regarding our sources and clients.
