Court‑Ready Criminal Investigations for Defense Counsel
Schick Investigative Services, LLC provides independent, defense‑side criminal investigations focused on identifying weaknesses, verifying critical facts, and producing findings that withstand scrutiny in litigation.
Led by a former Internal Affairs investigator, all work is conducted with a clear understanding of how investigative methods, documentation, and credibility are evaluated during motions, cross‑examination, and trial.
When the reliability of an investigation may affect case strategy, outcome, or exposure, independent review and fact development can provide critical clarity.

- – Discovery appears incomplete, inconsistent, or unreliable
- – Police reports or conclusions are unsupported or unclear
- – Witnesses were overlooked, uncontacted, or inadequately documented
