Criminal Defense Investigations
VMT is a results-oriented, forward-thinking criminal defense investigation firm based in Southern California, specializing in federal and state RICO, drug trafficking, street gang enhancement, and homicide cases.
We utilize state-of-the-art investigative technologies, including VMT’s Issues Matrix Spreadsheet (IMS), a proprietary field investigation management tool designed to ensure a thorough, organized, and comprehensive investigative approach. Our methodology is built to support defense counsel in navigating complex state and federal criminal matters with precision and clarity.
Training Program
With over 30 years of experience in criminal defense investigations, VMT provides specialized training and mentoring to members of the legal community.
VMT is certified by the California Bar Association to provide MCLE training to attorneys on California Penal Code Section 186.22(a) and (b) gang enhancements. VMT’s Gang Enhancement Workshop examines recent statutory changes that allow defense counsel to bifurcate substantive charges from gang enhancement allegations, restrict reputational evidence, and narrow the use of non-client-specific predicate acts.
In addition, the workshop incorporates proven defense investigation strategies designed to challenge law enforcement gang allegations and strengthen defense case strategy.
