Criminal Defense and Post Conviction
Criminal Defense Investigators in Los Angeles, California
Criminal Defense Investigators for Attorneys, Defendants & Post Conviction Cases
When someone is facing criminal charges, the outcome of the case can depend heavily on the quality of the investigation behind the defense. In many situations, critical evidence is missed, witnesses are overlooked, or important facts are never fully examined.

Our criminal defense investigators handle cases discreetly, professionally, and with courtroom-focused investigative methods designed to support criminal defense and post conviction matters.
Whether you are defending against criminal allegations or reviewing a possible wrongful conviction, our investigative team is prepared to help.
Experienced Criminal Defense Investigators Since 1992
Kay & Associates Investigations is led by Andy Kay, a licensed California private investigator since 1992. Our agency has more than three decades of experience conducting complex criminal defense investigations throughout California.
Our criminal defense investigators have assisted in cases involving:
- Violent crime allegations
- Fraud and financial crimes
- Narcotics investigations
- Assault and self-defense claims
- Theft and embezzlement accusations
- Domestic violence allegations
- Wrongful conviction reviews
- Witness credibility investigations

Every criminal defense investigation requires attention to detail, legal awareness, and strategic fact development. Our investigators understand the importance of uncovering information that may impact the outcome of a case.
What Criminal Defense Investigators Do
A criminal defense investigator works independently from law enforcement to gather evidence, verify facts, and identify information that may support the defense.
Our criminal defense investigators assist with:
Witness Location & Witness Interviews
Witnesses are often difficult to locate, unwilling to speak, or were never properly interviewed during the original investigation. Our investigators work to locate and interview witnesses who may provide critical information.
We investigate:
- Contradictory witness statements
- Timeline inconsistencies
- Witness credibility concerns
- Missed investigative leads
- Potentially overlooked testimony
Independent witness interviews frequently uncover information that was not included in the original police investigation.
Evidence Review & Criminal Case Analysis
Many criminal cases involve evidence that was incomplete, misunderstood, or insufficiently analyzed. Our criminal defense investigators review available documentation and evidence carefully to identify inconsistencies and investigative gaps.
This may include:
- Police report analysis
- Surveillance footage review
- Timeline reconstruction
- Photographic evidence analysis
- Digital communications review
- Social media investigations
- Background investigations
Our investigators help criminal defense attorneys build a clearer understanding of the facts surrounding the case.
Post Conviction Investigators in Los Angeles
Even after a conviction, new evidence can emerge that changes the understanding of a case. Our post conviction investigators work with attorneys and legal teams to help uncover facts that may support appeals, sentence modifications, or other post conviction relief efforts.
Post conviction investigations may involve:
- Newly discovered evidence
- Witness recantations
- False accusations
- Undisclosed conflicts or relationships
- Independent fact verification
- Contradictory evidence
- New witness identification
Many post conviction cases depend on detailed investigative work and identifying facts that may have been overlooked during the original proceedings.
