Criminal Defense Investigations in West Michigan

Investigation that supports the defense

A strong defense starts with facts the prosecution did not gather, or did not weigh. Legacy works at the direction of defense attorneys to investigate a case independently, find what matters, and document it so counsel can use it.

What we handle

• Witness location and interviews
• Review of police reports and case files for gaps and inconsistencies
• Scene visits, measurements, and photo documentation
• Records and background research on witnesses and parties
• Locating missing witnesses, and clients who have lost touch before a court date
• Background information to support bond and sentencing arguments

Why a former detective matters

I built cases as a county detective. I know how investigations are conducted, how reports are written, and where the weak points tend to be. That perspective helps defense counsel see a case the way the prosecution does.

Bail bond experience

More than two decades in the bail bond industry means familiarity with pretrial release, bond conditions, jails, and court deadlines, and with finding people who have lost touch before a hearing.

How we work with counsel

Attorneys typically retain us directly so the work stays within the defense team. Reports are factual, sourced, and clear about what was observed versus what was concluded.

Legacy Private Investigations does not provide legal advice or opinions on guilt. Anyone facing charges should speak with their attorney first.
