Criminal Defense

SabreHawk International provides its clientele with the highest quality in investigative services and support, including Criminal Defense cases. Our investigators possess decades of experience at the federal, state, and local level and are well versed in traditional, modern, and technical investigative techniques. SabreHawk assists law firms pertaining to defense of criminal cases by:

Assisting clients in obtaining corroboration of information and explaining evidence and challenges in overcoming evidence. We will conduct a thorough review and analysis of all information available and take advantage of law enforcement, relevant court transcripts, official investigations and inquiries, statements, and depositions to save expense for our clients and to find shortcomings to explore. Our investigators serve as an economic force-multiplier for clients and their attorneys. They can quickly follow up on leads, conduct interviews, prepare detailed investigative reports, and testify at trial and other legal proceedings. Attorneys can focus on the legal defense aspects of the case while actively supported by our experienced investigators who apply both traditional and dynamic 21st Century tradecraft in the acquisition of crucial and relevant information.

Our investigators will evalutate the strength and weaknesses in the opposition’s case and obtain truthful information from the client and witnesses: When a client or witness misleads an attorney or withholds information, the attorney may then be subject to surprises, which in turn can severely hinder, or even destroy an otherwise effective legal strategy. SabreHawk professionals bring a new set of eyes, new techniques, and significant experience to each case. We are an extension of the attorney so that he or she has the ability to do more on the client’s behalf.

Civil Litigation

Background Investigations

While there are a number of low-priced web-based subscription services that a layperson can access to inquire into the backgrounds of individuals, information resulting from such checks can often be confusing and ambiguous. SabreHawk investigators have access to both open source and subscription databases and analyze the results from a perspective that includes decades of experience. Any gaps or ambiguities in the background of a subject under inquiry will be fully explored and resolved to client satisfaction. SabreHawk can conduct thorough background investigations in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to:

    • Domestic Help
  • Pre-employment & Promotion Screening

    • For cause

Post-Incident Investigations

It is an unfortunate fact that the ever-increasing volume of criminal incidents combined with a significant lack of resources creates a situation where law enforcement agencies are unable to investigate every serious crime to a successful conclusion. This compels authorities to prioritize what resources to dedicate and under what conditions. While a crime against you, your family, or your organization will quite naturally be of the highest priority to you, often the law enforcement is unable to assign that same priority. SabreHawk generally does not look into cases currently or actively under investigation by law enforcement authorities. However, certain circumstances arise where our investigators can supplement official investigations with the knowledge of the police agency that holds jurisdiction. Our investigators are able to conduct certain interviews, offer rewards, conduct lengthy surveillances, and review voluminous records, including video footage where law enforcement lacks the resources to do so quickly, or at all. Additionally, we can undertake unsolved and “cold” cases on behalf of our clients, including but not limited to:

  • Homicides, assaults, attacks & other crimes against persons
  • Burglaries, thefts and other property crimes
    • Locating stolen property
  • Theft of intellectual property
  • Theft of identity information 

Confidential Services

Whether conducting investigative services for your attorney on your behalf, or providing such service directly to you, we maintain the highest standards of confidentiality through Attorney-Client Privilege and as authorized by law and regulation.  Confidential and sensitive information, whether in hard copy or digital format, is secured via robust industry standards.
