MARYLAND CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAW: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
​
Criminal Defense Investigations & Legal Rights:
​
Maryland has a 99% conviction rate in federal cases, often due to a lack of proper defense investigation.
​
Under Maryland Rule 4-263, the prosecution must disclose all evidence in a case, but often, critical information is overlooked, misinterpreted, or not properly challenged.
​
Eyewitness misidentification is a leading cause of wrongful convictions, accounting for 69% of exonerations in Maryland.
DNA evidence has exonerated 20+ individuals in Maryland since 1990, highlighting the importance of forensic reviews.
​
CIVIL LITIGATION AND INVESTIGATIVE INSIGHTS
​
​Maryland follows contributory negligence laws, meaning if a plaintiff is even 1% at fault, they may be barred from recovery, making investigations crucial in personal injury claims.
​
Fraudulent insurance claims account for nearly $40 billion in losses annually, leading insurers to heavily scrutinize claims, making investigative proof essential.
​
Child custody disputes in Maryland courts rely heavily on evidence of parental fitness, surveillance and background checks can be key factors in legal decisions.
HOW LEGAL EYE INVESTIGATIONS STRENGHTHENS YOUR DEFENSE
​
​1. Case Review & Evidence Analysis
We analyze police reports, forensic evidence, surveillance footage, and witness statements to identify inconsistencies and procedural errors.
​
* Did the police violate search and seizure laws? (Fourth Amendment violations)
* Are there inconsistencies in forensic reports or crime scene evidence?
* Did the prosecution fail to disclose exculpatory evidence? (Brady violations)
​
2. Witness Location & Interviews
We track down key witnesses and conduct in-depth interviews to find testimony that can support your case.
​
* Do eyewitness accounts match physical evidence?
* Is there video surveillance or third-party testimony that contradicts claims?
* Have witnesses changed their statements over time?
​
3. Surveillance & Background Investigations
We conduct covert surveillance and perform background checks on opposing parties, accusers, or witnesses to expose credibility issues and hidden motives.
​
* Does the accuser have a history of filing false claims?
* Are there financial, legal, or personal motives behind the case?
* Can we uncover patterns of behavior that support the defense?
​
4. Digital Forensics & Social Media Investigations
In today’s world, digital evidence is key. Our specialists analyze:
​
* Deleted social media posts
* Text messages & emails

Our investigators assist in trial preparation by providing:
​
* Expert testimony to explain investigative findings
