Police Misconduct · Fabricated or Suppressed Evidence

Evidence That Was Made,
Hidden or Lost

Evidence handling has rules precisely because cases die without them. Fabrication, planting, suppression, concealment, and loss each leave procedural fingerprints in the chain of custody, and the analysis surfaces them.

Attorney and law-firm inquiries only

Questions

Before the record is sent.

Is this analysis useful before discovery closes?
That is the best time. Early review identifies what records should exist and do not, so counsel can pursue them while the record is still open.
What does retention cost?
A non-refundable retainer of $8,000–$9,000 covering 29–33 hours of discovery review, report writing and conferences at $275 per hour. Most reports are completed within the retainer. The full published schedule is on the For Counsel page.
