Forensics Services
We provide criminal defense consulting rooted in seasoned investigation and structured case analysis, helping counsel test assumptions, evaluate evidence, and refine defense strategy.
Strategic Forensic Coordination for Criminal Defense
VMT Investigations provides defense-centered forensic evidence review through a strategic network of vetted forensic partners supporting complex criminal cases. Rather than functioning as a single-source lab or expert, VMT serves as the central forensic coordinator, aligning specialized expertise to test how evidence was created, processed, interpreted, and presented—before assumptions harden into uncontested fact.
Core Forensic Capabilities
Coordinated Digital Evidence:
Review. Oversight of forensic partner analysis of body-worn camera footage, surveillance video, jail calls, interrogations, phone extractions, and metadata integrity, with focus on missing data, selective production, editing artifacts, synchronization failures, and chain-of-custody issues.
Institutional & Administrative Forensics:
Coordinated review of law enforcement, jail, prison, and agency records, including gang classifications, disciplinary histories, informant documentation, and training materials relied upon for expert testimony.
Expert Methodology Oversight & Gatekeeping:
Management of forensic partner review of expert methodologies for reproducibility, database validation, hearsay laundering, and admissibility compliance, identifying methodological overreach and reliability failures.
Timeline Reconstruction & Evidence Integration:
Cross-source timeline reconstruction integrating digital, testimonial, and institutional evidence to test causation, opportunity, and narrative coherence.
Ideal for
- Capital and life-top cases
- RICO/VICAR and multi-defendant prosecutions
- Cases with high-volume digital discovery (video, jail calls, social media, devices, reports)
- Cases where the defense needs a repeatable system for tracking leads, issues, and exhibits
Defense Applications
- Pretrial suppression, exclusion, and discovery enforcement strategy
- Expert limitation, rebuttal development, and voir dire preparation
- Cross-examination architecture and forensic exhibit planning
- Mitigation development grounded in proof discipline—not guilt concession
Methodology & Case Management
VMT applies a system-based, reverse-engineering approach to forensic review, treating evidence
as a process rather than a static artifact. All forensic coordination and analysis is tracked through
the Investigation Matrix Suite (IMS™), ensuring source integrity, timeline clarity, work-product
protection, and accountability across defense teams and forensic partners.
