Florida criminal defense investigations for indigent and non-indigent defendants
Invetech LLC is a Florida state-licensed private detective agency and an authorized JAC (Justice Administrative Commission) vendor. The agency provides investigative and mitigation services for court-appointed criminal defense cases. These services are designed for indigent clients who cannot afford private legal representation and have been assigned a court-appointed attorney. However, Invetech LLC also extends its criminal defense investigation services to private clients who need the expertise of a professional investigator to assist their attorney in achieving the best possible outcome in a criminal trial. After all, an attorney’s effectiveness hinges on the quality and accuracy of the evidence they present to the court and jury.
Unlike popular belief, law enforcement officers often prioritize securing convictions over pursuing justice. Law enforcement operates reactively, responding to incidents after crimes have already occurred. Typically, the police respond to a 911 call, gather information at the scene, and build a case based on what they consider relevant to support the reported crime. This process involves interviewing victims, witnesses, and possibly suspects, as well as photographing evidence deemed important for a conviction. However, this evidence may not always represent the complete truth. In contrast, criminal defense investigators thoroughly examine the evidence gathered by law enforcement and actively seek additional evidence to provide a fuller picture of the circumstances. Their goal is to uncover all relevant facts, including exculpatory evidence, that may prove the accused’s innocence.
The principle of “Innocent until proven guilty” often feels reversed in the American justice system. This tendency to presume guilt underscores the critical need for reasonable doubt in criminal cases—a factor often overlooked. Criminal defense investigators play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between alleged crimes, motives, and the reasonable doubt necessary to secure a not-guilty verdict. By uncovering hidden details and presenting alternative narratives, they equip defense attorneys with the tools they need to advocate effectively for their clients before a judge and jury.
