Criminal Fraud Investigation LEGAL RESEARCHER
I’m pursuing a criminal fraud matter and need an experienced legal investigator to uncover evidence that will withstand scrutiny in court.

You should be comfortable working with bank statements, contracts, email records, and other digital or paper sources, and know how to preserve chain of custody for anything that may ultimately be entered as an exhibit. Familiarity with research tools such as LexisNexis, PACER, or comparable databases is essential, along with the ability to write concise, well-sourced investigative summaries. Deliverables I expect: • A brief investigative plan outlining proposed steps and timelines • Periodic status updates highlighting progress, obstacles, and next actions • A final written report that synthesizes findings, cites primary evidence, and flags any gaps • An indexed evidence file (scans or originals as appropriate) ready for counsel review Please indicate your relevant experience with criminal fraud cases, the jurisdictions you have worked in, and any certifications or licenses you hold. Immediate start is preferred; confidentiality is mandatory. Discuss the job based on your skills.
