Information in and of itself though valuable, unless it is contextualized and presented appropriately will not achieve the objective for which it was acquired. Herein, the Private Investigator’s ability to professionally present testimony in court is crucial. All the characteristics of a competent professional are desirable in this venue and it is the responsibility of counsel to prepare the investigator for formal testimony and preparation for cross examination by opposing counsel. The delivery of information in court will effectively convey the facts and circumstances deemed essential to the case and counsel’s reliance on investigator’s testimony. It is something that should never be underestimated. The normal protocol of appropriate attire, demeanor, preparation, et cetera is also recommended. This is a coordinated effort to present an intelligent, knowledgeable and truthful expert’s representation or maybe recollection of facts, circumstances or opinions that will assist the Trier of Facts to make an informed decision. The relationship between an Attorney and their Private Investigator as stated earlier is predicated on trust. A professional Investigator will not compromise this trust and will always act in the best interest of the Attorney as long as it does not conflict with the law. However, in a relationship between two ethical professionals the issue of legality of action will not normally be an issue unless ignorance of the legality of the action is a factor. The combined knowledge of the Attorney and Private Investigator should substantially be able to mitigate the possibility of that occurring.
