\u201cThe leading rule of the lawyer, as for the man of every calling, is diligence.\u201d <\/em>Abraham Lincoln<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aside from legal expertise, exercising diligence or being thorough is, perhaps, the greatest asset to an attorney\u2019s case. Having unrivaled background information and intelligence about your opponent, key witnesses, hostile experts and even your own client can make even the toughest cases winnable.<\/p>\n

That explains why lawyers spend an average of 20 percent of their time conducting legal research, according to the Legal and Technology survey report, compiled by the American Bar Association. The report also shows that attorneys turn first to free online research services before using fee-based services. In fact, 37 percent say they start with a general search engine such as Google<\/a> or Bing, before accessing bar-sponsored research services.<\/p>\n

Of course, paralegals are often charged with relieving the research burden from attorneys. But what is the best use of their time? Since the law is continually morphing and reacting to the world around it, researching judicial reviews that determine how laws can be interpreted and finding precedents that support legal arguments is where paralegals can and should play a key role.<\/p>\n

In other words, digging up background information and actionable intelligence is better left to the experts \u2013 a professional investigative agency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re Better Than Google<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Information is abundant these days. With a few keystrokes, we can access a multitude of data on every imaginable topic. However, simple database searches and googling does not provide the same quality of usable information and actionable intelligence that a professional background check can reveal. A deep-dive background check conducted by an expert investigative agency will typically include little-known public records, multiple data aggregators, open-source intelligence (OSINT) searches, human intelligence (HUMINT) gathering, deep internet and social scraping, and more.<\/p>\n

Just as importantly, this intelligence gathering can be done quickly and affordably, freeing up both your and your paralegals\u2019 valuable time to focus on the law. The specialized skills of a professional investigator can supplement your legal work to create stronger cases, support a theory, and provide integral details that a simple search cannot provide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, professional investigators are experts at uncovering the \u201csoft\u201d facts that aren\u2019t provided by hard data, including a person\u2019s weaknesses, mistakes, proclivities, connections, relationship activities and more. Having this inside knowledge can help you engage in targeted depositions, discovery sessions and negotiations from a position of strength.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re an Asset to Your Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Good attorneys know that outsourcing strategic research and information-gathering to a professional investigative agency is the smart move, no matter what type of case you\u2019re working on, legal matter you\u2019re managing, or clients you\u2019re representing. Working with a reputable, experienced investigative agency ensures that all work is done within the confines of the law, so documentation and evidence that is gathered can be used in court, mediation, or negotiations.<\/p>\n
