Start With the File
What does the matter need?
You do not need to diagnose the investigative service before contacting CVI. Start with the objective. The scope can combine disciplines when the file requires it.
Personal injury · Family law · Civil litigation · Criminal defense · Insurance defense · Workers’ compensation · Premises liability · Business disputes · Pre-litigation review · Settlement + mediation
The work should enter the file already organized.
CVI documents what can be observed, verified, preserved, and responsibly reported—without overstating what the evidence proves.
Core Disciplines
Six ways CVI can move the file forward.
Each discipline answers a different investigative need. The visible copy stays concise; deeper service detail lives on the dedicated service pages.
Litigation Films
Documentary films for client impact, daily limitations, mitigation, settlement context, and broader case narrative.
Accident & Scene Documentation
Photography, video, measurements, visibility, sightlines, environmental conditions, property features, roadway context, and scene preservation.
Clinical Injury Documentation
Dated injury photography with controlled lighting, consistent positioning, scale references, neutral framing, privacy safeguards, and organized delivery.
Case Intelligence
Public records, OSINT, social-media preservation, field verification, surveillance, subject and witness development, background context, and timeline work.
High-Priority Process Service
Expedited and difficult service supported by locate research, documented attempts, status reporting, and affidavit return.
Witness Location & Interview Support
Witness location, field contact, interview coordination, recorded statements, associate development, and attorney-directed documentation.
One file can require more than one discipline.
Scene documentation, surveillance, public-record research, witness development, process service, and visual storytelling can be combined into one attorney-directed scope.
Discuss the FileMethod
From assignment to delivery.
The process is simple on purpose: define the question, establish the scope, perform the work, and organize what was learned.
-
01
CONFIDENTIAL INTAKE
Define the file need.
Counsel identifies the matter, deadline, jurisdiction, known facts, sensitivities, and the question or documentation required.
-
02
STRATEGY + ASSESSMENT
Build the assignment plan.
CVI maps lawful methods, field requirements, attorney priorities, practical constraints, deadlines, and expected deliverables.
-
03
FIELDWORK + INTELLIGENCE
Investigate and document.
Work may include surveillance, photography, video, locating, public records, OSINT, interviews, field verification, or timeline development.
-
04
FINDINGS + DELIVERY
Organize the record.
Findings, observations, visuals, reports, statements, and supporting records are delivered in a clean, reviewable format with scope limits identified.
Case Materials
Built to be reviewed—not decoded.
Counsel should be able to identify the objective, understand what was observed, find the supporting material, and see where factual or investigative limits remain.
Investigator arrived and established a lawful observation position.
Relevant activity was photographed and logged with time, location, context, and media reference.
Observation concluded. Limitations and unresolved details were identified in the written summary.
What Counsel Receives
A clear package of findings and supporting material.
Deliverables are matched to the assignment rather than padded with unnecessary volume.
Objective, methods, observations, relevant findings, and scope limits.
Dated photography, video, screenshots, and supporting visual references.
Events, activity, records, and observations arranged in a usable sequence.
Labeled folders, meaningful filenames, usable formats, and defined boundaries.
Engagement
Use CVI when the file needs it—or reserve capacity.
Firms can engage CVI matter by matter or establish recurring investigative access through the Counsel Partnership Program.
Bring CVI into the file when a defined assignment appears.
Best for discrete surveillance, scene documentation, case intelligence, witness work, process service, or a specific litigation-film assignment.

Questions
Details when you need them.
The deeper information stays on the page for counsel and search visibility, but it no longer competes with the primary path through the page.
