DEFENSE INVESTIGATION

At NBI, we deliver thorough, strategic investigative support for criminal defense cases. Our role is to uncover the facts that matter, details that strengthen your defense, challenge weak evidence, and reveal inconsistencies in the official narrative. With meticulous analysis, credible documentation, and courtroom-ready findings, we work alongside attorneys and clients to ensure the truth is brought to light.

Whether you need help reviewing evidence, locating witnesses, conducting surveillance, or reinvestigating a past conviction, NBI provides the insight, accuracy, and professionalism your case demands.

What We Do

1. Case Review & Evidence Analysis

We review police reports, witness statements, discovery materials, and all available evidence to identify inconsistencies, missing details, or new leads that can strengthen your defense.

2. Witness Location & Interviews

Our investigators locate and interview key witnesses — sometimes those overlooked or unwilling to cooperate — to uncover new information and verify testimony accuracy.

3. Surveillance & Documentation

We conduct discreet, lawful surveillance to document real-time activity or verify claims related to your case. Evidence is collected lawfully and documented for attorney review and potential use in legal proceedings

4. Digital & Background Research

Using advanced investigative databases, we gather background data, digital footprints, and records that may expose bias, motive, or false claims against you.

5. Post-Conviction Support

For those seeking appeals or case reinvestigation, NBI conducts thorough post-conviction reviews to find new evidence or witnesses that may support exoneration.
