Title: Criminal Defense Investigations – Redefining How We Measure Victories
Description: Is it Murder or Self-Defense? Embark on a journey from the client’s perspective to learn how our criminal justice system works and where our work as legal investigators truly add value. From the defense side, how we measure victories is quite different but that doesn’t mean the impact is any less valuable to the client. Come along as we pickup this case from the 911 call to the final sentencing while learning how a case moves through the court system.
