Defense Investigators and Experts

INVESTIGATORS

Unlike other attorneys, Attorney Anthony Arzili doesn’t solely rely on the police’s version of the facts of your case.

Each case requires a different type of investigative approach. Some cases require a hard-nosed approach that only a retired police detective can provide. Other cases require a softer touch. Anthony Arzili has investigators for each type of case who have worked with him case after case. A criminal defense attorney who works well with his investigators can truly be a huge benefit to the client.

A tough and experienced investigator can:

  • Re-interview prosecution witnesses for discrepancies and lies.
  • Find and interview defense witnesses that will help your case.
  • Take pictures, evidence, graphs to help assist the defense of your case.

Attorney Anthony Arzili is proud to have a crew of seasoned investigators that he’s worked closely with over the last 17 years.
