ADC
attorneys have used our investigative services in part
to help insulate themselves from later allegations of
ineffective assistance of counsel asserted by a defendant
in a 35C motion. Our investigations have also led to the
dismissal of felony cases. As former police detectives
we are familiar with rules of evidence, search and seizure,
and normal police procedures. We understand the complicated
dynamics of criminal cases and will work with the attorney
to identify areas of the case to be explored, crucial
witnesses to be interviewed and possible violations of
constitutional rights. Our experience as police
detectives includes investigating homicides, kidnapping,
aggravated robbery, other major persons crimes, complex
white-collar crimes, criminal impersonation and all types
of narcotics crimes. Some cases we have investigated for
the defense include: Vehicular Homicide and assault Colorado
Organized Crime Control Act (COCCA) Aggravated Robbery
Aggravated Assault Child Abuse Sexual Assault on a Child
Sexual Assault - Use of Force Sexual Assault - Victim
Incapable of Appraising Condition Pandering of a Child
Securities Fraud Manufacturing and Distribution of a Controlled
Substance The results of the investigation and any additional
information are provided to the attorney in clear, concise
reports. Our testimony experience is extensive and we
are very comfortable as advisory witnesses. Carlson Investigation
Services also provides litigation support, process service
and skip tracing.
Background
on the Colorado ADC:The
federal and state constitutions provide that an accused person has the right to
be represented by counsel in criminal prosecutions. This constitutional right
has been interpreted to mean that counsel will be provided at state expense for
indigent persons in all cases in which actual incarceration is a likely penalty.
The Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel (OADC) was established pursuant to
§21-2-101, C.R.S. (Senate Bill 96-205). The OADC is funded to provide representation
for indigent persons in criminal and juvenile delinquency cases in which the Public
Defender’s office determines that an ethical of interest exists. Statutory Mandate/Directive
The Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel is mandated by statue to "provide
to indigent persons accused of crimes, legal services that are commensurate with
those available to non-indigents, and conduct the office in accordance with the
Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct and with the American Bar Association Standards
relating to the administration of criminal justice, the defense function." Section
21-2-101(1) (emphasis added). Mission The mission of the Office of the Alternate
Defense Counsel is to provide indigent individuals (adults and children) charged
with crimes with the best legal representation possible. This representation must
uphold the federal and state constitutional and statutory mandates, ethical rules
and nationwide standards of practice for defense lawyers. As a state agency, the
OADC strives to achieve this mission by balancing the obligation to the criminally
accused and the taxpayers of the State of Colorado. The ADC is committed to insuring
that indigent defendants receive the best legal services available.

Investigation Services also provides litigation support and process service. Law
enforcement is overburdened with heavy call volume and increasing demands for
their time. Officers and detectives frequently do not have the time, training,
or resources to thoroughly investigate a case before making the decision to issue
a ticket or file the case with the DA's office. As former police detectives we
are familiar with rules of evidence, search and seizure, and normal police procedures.
We understand the complicated dynamics of criminal cases and will work with the
attorney to identify areas of the case to be explored and crucial witnesses to
be interviewed. At Carlson Investigation Services we pride ourselves on thorough
investigation; locating witnesses the police may have missed, re-interviewing
other witnesses and reviewing police reports and evidence to get a complete picture
of the background and all circumstances surrounding a particular incident. Our
investigations have lead to the dismissal of felony cases. Our experience as police
detectives includes all types of major persons crimes, complex white collar crimes,
and manufacturing and possession of narcotics cases. Some cases we have investigated
for the defense include: Vehicular Homicide Colorado Organized Crime Control Act
(COCCA) Aggravated Robbery Aggravated Assault Child Abuse Sexual Assault on a
Child Sexual Assault - Use of Force Sexual Assault - Victim Incapable of Appraising
Condition Pandering of a Child Securities Fraud Manufacturing and Distribution
of a Controlled Substance If requested we can provide mitigation research packets
for the sentencing phase. Colorado
