Possibly. Investigators and attorneys serve different roles.
An investigator develops facts and information.
An attorney provides legal advice, interprets legal rights and obligations, develops legal strategy, and represents clients in legal proceedings.
Some matters require both.
If your question is primarily legal—such as what you should file, what your legal rights are, what a contract means, what claims you may have, or how you should respond to a court proceeding—you should consult qualified legal counsel.
If your attorney needs additional factual development, investigative services may complement that legal work.
Many investigations are more effective when the attorney and investigator understand their respective roles from the beginning.
If you already have counsel, you may want to discuss investigative needs with your attorney.
“Will You Work With My Attorney?”
Where appropriate, yes.
Investigators frequently work with attorneys and litigation teams.
That coordination may include developing timelines, locating witnesses, researching entities, identifying assets, reviewing records, verifying factual assertions, documenting activity, or assisting with other legitimate investigative objectives.
The exact relationship depends on the matter, applicable law, professional responsibilities, and the agreed scope of services.
If you are represented by counsel, let us know during intake.
“What If I’m Representing Myself?”
You may still have legitimate investigative needs.
However, investigative services are not a substitute for legal advice.
A self-represented litigant may need help locating information, developing factual timelines, identifying records, locating witnesses, or verifying information. Often, reviewing existing material is one of the most efficient first steps.
An investigator can assist with appropriate investigative tasks but cannot function as your attorney unless separately licensed and engaged to do so.
Understanding that distinction at the beginning helps keep the engagement focused and productive.
