Case Summaries

Specialized Investigations Group, LLC, has investigated a wide variety of cases for many different clients over the years. Below are several examples of those investigations.

  • An individual was charged with sexual battery based solely on the statement provided by the accuser in the case. The incident occurred at a social gathering with many guests. Numerous witnesses were located and interviewed. It was learned that these witnesses had crucial first hand knowledge that contradicted the accuser's allegation. Based on the many witness statements, it was discovered that the accuser had fabricated a story to law enforcement several days later when she became angry at the individual. Based on the witness accounts, the case was resolved clearing the client's name.

  • Specialized Investigations Group was hired by an individual whose spouse was temporarily living in a different city. The individual suspected that the spouse was being unfaithful and asked our company to conduct surveillance to prove/disprove the suspicion. Specialized Investigations Group was able to locate the spouse and surveillance was conducted. Not only was a pattern of behavior determined during the surveillance period, but  evidence was obtained as well that confirmed the client’s suspicions. This evidence proved to be beneficial in the upcoming dissolution of marriage and child custody cases.

  • Specialized Investigations Group conducted an investigation for a client, who believed their spouse was being unfaithful. Through investigative efforts, it was discovered that the spouse was to be on vacation. The spouse was located and video surveillance conducted during this vacation. Video evidence obtained, proved beyond a doubt that our client’s spouse was indeed unfaithful as they had suspected.

  • Specialized Investigations Group conducted an investigation involving a parental/domestic/child custody case.  During the investigation, Specialized Investigations Group was able to determine that one parent was not abiding by the rules established by the court and the Department of Children and Families.  Video surveillance and interviews were conducted and information obtained that was crucial for our client to prove that the other parent had deceived the court and DCF and was critical in their fight for the custody of their child. 

  • Our client requested a complete background search on a subject.  A thorough search was conducted which revealed an out of state arrest that had occurred several years prior.  Based on this information, our client learned that the subject had not been totally honest with them.  This criminal charge, along with other information discovered in the search, successfully reduced our client's liability.

  • We were retained by a criminal defense attorney who was representing a subject accused of a burglary with a person assaulted. Law enforcement reports indicated that two individuals, one our client, were at a residence visiting a friend. The friend became involved in a physical altercation with a neighbor. The fight was stopped by the two individuals. The neighbor and his relatives then alleged that the two individuals came to their residence, threatened them, pushed their way into the home, and battered the main aggressor in the earlier fight. This aggressor then armed himself with a handgun firing in what he claimed was self defense striking one of the two individuals. Law enforcement arrived and interviewed most of the individuals present. The interviews appeared to be focused on what the one group had indicated occurred. It was never determined exactly if entry was made into the residence and if the subject actually fired in self-defense. Our investigators interviewed the witnesses identified by law enforcement as well as many others.  All agreed there had been an earlier fight. The main aggressor had gone to obtain a handgun from his residence. The two individuals who had separated the fight went to the residence hoping to deter the aggressor from exiting with a handgun. This lead to a physical altercation on the porch and the shooting. This information assisted the defense attorney in obtaining a mutually agreeable plea. The subject was facing a life felony and is now serving 2 years of probation for a far lesser crime.

  • An individual had been involved in a traffic crash in Florida several years prior. Our client needed to locate the individual for depositions in a civil litigation case. After a diligent search, it was learned that the individual had relocated to England. The individual was located in England and provided to the client in time for depositions.

  • A client was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon for attacking a neighbor. The client was arrested and issued a restraining order for the attack. Both the arrest and restraining order had severe implications for the client, both personally and in his career.  Numerous witnesses were located in the neighborhood and interviewed. It was soon learned from eyewitnesses to the incident that the accuser had provided a false account of the incident to police. It was also learned that the accuser had been involved in other similar incidents in the past. As a result of the interviews, all charges were dropped against the client. In addition, the accuser was charged with filing a false police report, perjury and tampering with a witness.

  • A client needed to locate ten witnesses scattered across the United States, with very limited information known about the individuals. Within a short period of time, all witnesses were identified, located and provided to client in time for depositions in their case.

  • Our investigators assisted a criminal defense attorney in defending an individual after law enforcement searched a residence and charged the individual. It was discovered that law enforcement had conducted a drug investigation and “believed” that this individual had entered a home. Specialized Investigations Group, LLC investigators located and interviewed several witnesses who were present near the drug house and learned that our client did not enter the searched house or have any contact here. This information led the assigned judge to dismiss the charges against our client.
