Statement & Witness Verification
Interviews and recorded statements taken directly, in English or Spanish, and checked against the record.
What this service covers
Witness interviews, recorded statements, and neighborhood or scene canvassing, with every account checked against records, scene facts, and other testimony. Discrepancies and corroborations are documented alike and keyed to their sources.
When counsel orders statements
- Scene witnesses need to be interviewed while recollections are fresh
- An account needs to be verified against the record before deposition
- Canvassing may surface witnesses the file does not yet know about
- Examinations under oath need factual groundwork
How we conduct them
Florida is a two-party consent state, so recorded statements are taken with documented consent and handled under the applicable recording law. Interviews are conducted directly in English or Spanish by bilingual investigators: no translator in the chain, nothing challengeable in the transcript. Recordings are preserved as originals.
What you receive
The recordings, transcripts or summaries as counsel prefers, and a verification memo noting where each account aligns with or departs from the documented record.
Common questions
Is it legal to record a statement in Florida?
Florida requires all-party consent for recorded conversations, so statements are recorded with documented consent and handled under the applicable law. The consent itself becomes part of the record.
Why does taking statements in Spanish directly matter?
A statement taken through a translator adds a layer that can be challenged later. Our investigators interview natively in Spanish, so the words in the record are the witness’s own.
Will you contact represented parties?
Scope is set with counsel, and we follow counsel’s direction and the applicable rules on contact with represented persons.
