Why Independent Investigations Matter

Many criminal cases in the United States are resolved through plea agreements rather than trial. Because of this reality, some cases never receive a full independent investigative review of the evidence.

An independent investigator may help identify:

• overlooked witnesses
• inconsistencies in police reports
• problems with forensic evidence
• surveillance footage that contradicts allegations
• digital evidence such as text messages or social media activity

Legal Eye Investigations works with defense attorneys, civil litigators, and private clients throughout Maryland to conduct professional investigations that support legal strategy.

Maryland Criminal and Civil Law: What You Should Know

Criminal Defense Investigations

Federal criminal cases nationwide have conviction rates approaching 99 percent, largely because most cases are resolved through plea agreements rather than jury trials.

Under Maryland Rule 4-263, prosecutors are required to disclose evidence to the defense during criminal proceedings. However, independent investigation is often necessary to evaluate the evidence and determine whether inconsistencies or overlooked information exist.

Eyewitness misidentification remains one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions. According to the Innocence Project, eyewitness identification issues were present in approximately 69 percent of DNA exoneration cases nationwide.

DNA evidence has also helped exonerate more than twenty individuals in Maryland since the early 1990s, demonstrating the importance of careful forensic review.

Independent investigators often assist attorneys by reviewing evidence, locating witnesses, and reconstructing timelines.

Civil Litigation Investigations

Investigative services are also frequently used in civil litigation matters.

Maryland follows the doctrine of pure contributory negligence, meaning that if a plaintiff is found even one percent responsible for an accident, they may be barred from recovering damages. Because of this standard, careful investigation can be critical in determining liability.

Insurance fraud also remains a major issue nationwide. According to the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, fraudulent claims contribute to tens of billions of dollars in losses annually, leading insurers and attorneys to rely on investigators to verify claims and document evidence.

Family law and custody cases may also involve investigative work. Courts may consider documented evidence relating to parental conduct, lifestyle, and living conditions when determining what arrangement is in the best interests of a child.
