Criminal Defence Investigators

Being wrongly accused of a crime or had a false accusation made against you is a harrowing and stressful time, and requires an objective and positive mind to see that you do not have to fight the allegations alone. You can call on us to help you prove your innocence.

SGH & Associates are a team of highly motivated private detectives who are experts in all aspects of criminal and civil investigations, in particular assisting people who have been wrongly convicted or accused of a crime they have not committed..

We have the knowledge and skill to:

• Trace and interview witnesses
• Collect and analyse exhibits
• Prepare and present maps, graphs, communication charts and time lines
• Carry out field enquires and analyse prosecution / tribunal evidence
• Trace witnesses
• Identify errors and irregularities in a Police investigation
• Examine alibis and challenge witness testimony

As a prosecution team the Police, CPS and other agencies work collectively to build a case against an individual or group of people.
This is a sizeable amount of staff and resource to present a case to the crown.

Defence solicitors and someone fighting a false allegation however, rely upon private investigators to carry out their field work, and in a time of cut backs to the legal aid system, solicitors do not have the funding and are reluctant to instruct a private detective to go out and seek the truth and find that all important piece of evidence or witness.

You, the client need to make that call.

With a team of professional investigators at the core of our firm we are well placed to offer a professional service to those looking for help in clearing their name.

SGH and Associates detectives are all capable investigators with a wealth of experience in the field of criminal investigations, civil tribunals and court of appeal hearings.

Our criminal defence investigators work with the client to ensure they are supplied with all the relevant information and facts to mount a successful defence to the charges or allegations that have been brought. Our experience in dealing with hostile witnesses has brought material to the court that otherwise would not have been produced.

We have the tenacity and skill of detection to uncover and present evidence that may have been overlooked or dismissed by the authorities or prosecution.

We also possess a full understanding of the legal procedures surrounding the collection, preparation and presentation of evidence. Our detectives have a firm grasp surrounding the handling of material that may be subject to forensic analysis and understand the need to protect the integrity of such exhibits.
