VMT Training Services
We provide criminal defense consulting rooted in seasoned investigation and structured case analysis, helping counsel test assumptions, evaluate evidence, and refine defense strategy.
Overview
VMT Training Services provides historically grounded, practice-forward instruction for attorneys, investigators, and litigation teams handling modern gang, enterprise, and high-volume discovery cases—where proof discipline, expert gatekeeping, and systematic investigation can reshape outcomes.
What we do
- Pretrial investigation architecture: build an investigation plan tied to case theory, not just task lists—so the defense isn’t reacting to a file dump.
- Fact reconstruction & timeline integrity: identify contradictions, missing steps, and alternative explanations through structured chronology and source tracking.
- Defense evidence review discipline: prioritize early evidence inspection and documentation to identify authentication problems, chain-of-custody gaps, and Brady leverage.
- Privilege-aware investigation: maintain clean lines between legal strategy and field fact-development to reduce disqualification/discoverability risk.
Flagship Training Topic Areas
- From Gangs to Enterprises: understanding how modern cases are built and why association evidence can become a shortcut to intent.
- Expert challenges: Sanchez, Rule 702/Daubert reliability, and method-based cross strategies
- Predicate-based investigative workflows: isolate predicate acts, test timelines, verify sources, and distinguish core actors from peripheral ones.
- Discovery management systems: treat discovery as a forensic system—identify metadata gaps, authentication weaknesses, and chain-of-custody issues.
- Mitigation as leverage: build mitigation early as a parallel track that supports negotiated outcomes without surrendering trial posture.
Formats
- 60–120-minute webinars
- Half-day / full-day in-person trainings.
- Case-team intensives (your discovery + your experts + your timeline).
- Train-the-trainer workshops for investigator units and defense organizations.
What Attendies Walk Away With
- A clear case architecture framework (what to challenge first, and why)
- Practical tools: predicate charts, expert limitation checklist, discovery audit steps, and sequencing guidance (motions → discovery → experts → mitigation)
