Post-Trial Investigations

Legal Investigators Help Uncover Evidence

If you are an attorney and have received an undesirable verdict, then it is important for you to seek skilled assistance to help uncover any evidence as to jury misconduct.

There are various options that may be available to you to pursue a more favorable outcome in your case, the most obvious of which is to file an appeal. Depending on the circumstances of the case, you may be able to pursue legal action to have the verdict retracted through proof of juror misconduct.

• There are many ways that jurors act unscrupulously, including the following examples of juror misconduct:
• Bias — Sadly, there are many cases in which jurors are biased toward or against an involved party, from the start of the trial. This bias may be based on race, gender, age, affiliation, religion or many other grounds and can result in an unfair jury verdict.
• Outside information —There are cases in which jurors will attempt to gather evidence or information themselves outside of the courtroom and then utilize this information during deliberations.
• Influence — Despite instruction not to discuss the case with any outside parties, there are situations when the jurors are approached and influenced by the media, individuals who will be personally affected by the outcome, and others.

Evidence of juror misconduct, such as bias and outside information or influence, that lead to improper deliberation proceedings can sometimes be cited as grounds for an appeal. As legal investigators, we are experienced in conducting post-trial juror interviews to identify any juror misconduct, and obtaining signed declarations.

Conversely, if you received a favorable verdict, and fear the other side may attempt to overturn it, we can help with that too. We can also interview, and obtain declarations from, jurors to establish that the jury abided by all rules and instructions, and proceeded with fair deliberations, thus protecting your verdict from claims of misconduct by the opposing party.

You need a team of skilled investigators such as ours, to review all of the evidence, conduct interviews, and provide the evidence you need to either uphold, or overturn, your verdict. Our experienced investigators are more than capable of finding and preparing the information you need for court.

When you look to us for the assistance that you need, you can be sure that we will work efficiently and effectively to uncover the evidence that you are seeking, if it exists. Your case is important to us, and you can be sure that we will work with you to pursue the results that you desire.
