The length of the investigation depends on the type of the investigation. However, there’s no real way to determine how long an investigation will take.

After the original consultation, we will be able to establish a better idea about how long an investigation may take.

After your case is completed, you will be provided with a final report of investigation, which is a detailed report that contains all the investigations that were done in the case. We will also provide any video/audio tapes, photographs, and any other documents that might apply in your case, unless you opt-out.
