Why Every Good Defense Lawyer Needs a Private Investigator

Summary: In criminal defense, a lawyer is only as good as the facts they can prove. No matter how skilled an attorney is in the courtroom, they can't build a solid defense without solid evidence. This is why every good defense lawyer needs a private investigator (PI) on their team.
Unlike law enforcement, who often focus on proving guilt, a PI working for the defense looks at the case from a different perspective—finding weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, uncovering exculpatory evidence, and ensuring that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of justice. Without a skilled investigator, a lawyer may never know about a crucial witness, a faulty piece of evidence, or a hidden inconsistency that could turn the case around.
