When Your Future Is on the Line, You Need More Than Just an Investigation — You Need a Defense Partner
Whether you’re a criminal defense attorney building a strategic case or an individual facing serious charges, the investigative team supporting you can significantly impact the outcome.
At Francis & Associates, we specialize in criminal defense investigations throughout Las Vegas, Clark County, and the surrounding Southern Nevada region, including Henderson, North Las Vegas, Laughlin, Pahrump, Mesquite, and other nearby communities.
Our team consists of licensed Nevada private investigators with extensive backgrounds in federal, state, and local law enforcement. We also collaborate with forensic consultants and trial support experts. Every case is handled with professionalism, objectivity, and precision, ensuring you have the critical facts needed for a strong defense.
Why Choose Francis & Associates
The prosecution has a coordinated team of investigators, officers, and attorneys. Your defense deserves the same level of strategic, evidence-based support.
We work with both attorneys and defendants to:
- Identify evidentiary inconsistencies and suppressed leads
- Uncovering misconduct or procedural violations
- Evaluate credibility concerns related to witnesses, law enforcement, or accusers
- Strengthen pretrial motions, trial strategy, or sentencing mitigation
Just as importantly, it matters who handles your investigation. Choosing a professional, reputable firm like Francis & Associates ensures your defense is supported by serious work that will be respected by both the court and opposing counsel.
Hiring a company with a cliché, slang-based name or a reputation limited to routine insurance surveillance can undermine your credibility in court. When a judge or jury evaluates your case, the professionalism and qualifications of your investigative team matter. Your defense deserves to be backed by seasoned professionals, not amateurs, whose work withstands scrutiny and supports your right to a fair trial.
Working Closely With Your Defense Team
We coordinate directly with your legal team or with you as the client to:
- Deliver structured, admissible investigative reports
- Maintain full chain of custody and documentation on all evidence
- Provide support for motions to suppress, dismiss, or impeach
- Conduct investigative activities in full compliance with legal and constitutional standards
Whether you’re already represented or building a defense, we integrate seamlessly with your legal team or consult directly to provide strategic insights from the start.
