Legal & Attorney Support Investigations

From pre-trial preparation through discovery and courtroom proceedings, ASIG functions as the investigative arm of your litigation team. We locate and interview witnesses, obtain documents and global public records, and collect physical and digital evidence, including social media and dark web sources while complying with jurisdictional requirements globally. We also evaluate the strength of the evidence held by your opposition: our adversarial analyses give counsel a clear picture of the opposing side’s strategy, strengths, weaknesses, and priorities, so every decision is made with complete information. Each engagement is scoped with counsel and documented for use in pleadings, depositions, and trial.

Our financial fraud team includes forensic accountants, a Certified Fraud Examiner, and former federal financial-crimes investigators, including IRS Criminal Investigation experience. We investigate embezzlement, Ponzi and pyramid schemes, wire and bank fraud, money laundering, and misappropriation of funds. Where assets have been hidden or moved, our years of experience in the intelligence community enable us to trace them across jurisdictions and countries including offshore companies and trusts while working within the relevant laws and procedures. Findings are organized into clear, well-documented reports suitable for settlement negotiations, expert testimony, or referral to the appropriate authorities.

Legal matters and transactions alike depend on knowing exactly who you are dealing with. ASIG conducts due diligence investigations on opposing parties, witnesses, experts, business partners, and acquisition targets by verifying backgrounds, corporate records, litigation history, regulatory standing, and undisclosed affiliations. Using professional databases not accessible to the public, combined with human-source inquiries, we surface the facts that change strategy: prior misconduct, concealed relationships, financial distress, or credibility issues. Attorneys rely on our due diligence work for vetting, discovery planning, and pre-litigation risk assessment.

Evidence is only valuable if it is admissible. ASIG maintains chain of custody on every item we collect, whether physical documents or extracted digital data and hosts digital evidence in a technically sound manner to preserve authentication. All collection is performed by licensed investigators using lawful, documented methods that comply with jurisdictional requirements in the United States and abroad.

Our evidence handling scope covers physical evidence and records retrieval, digital extraction and preservation, social media and open-source capture, surveillance documentation, and witness statements – each delivered with the documentation counsel needs to establish authenticity and withstand challenge.
