Legal Service and Investigations

An investigator in the UK could be a member of one of many occupational groups under the heading "fire and explosion investigators". These include: fire inspectors, engineer surveyors, government safety consultants and engineering consultants. The job profile includes the investigator being qualified to carry out a wide range of tasks relating to detecting fires, explosions and the consequences thereof, as well as having the necessary building & contents insurance. Although a consultant may also perform some of these tasks, the investigator is better known for his ability to act in an emergency and carry out investigations before, during and after a disaster. A fire investigator in the UK could either work alone or in a team environment. He would most typically be employed by a construction firm where one person will be responsible for managing the fire department. If there is more than one team member, then responsibility for that individual will rotate to ensure all of ...

Forensic science, also called forensic chemistry, is the application of chemistry to forensic and criminal laws, primarily during criminal investigation, as dictated by the legal requirements of admissible evidence and procedure within the jurisdiction. For those who are unaware, forensic evidences are that which has been derived from a crime scene or victim, or a dead body. Such evidence may be collected from hair, clothing, blood, saliva, etc... These types of forensic evidences are then processed by forensic scientists to determine the actual source of these materials at the scene of the crime, wherefore they may be classified as being "real" forensic evidence or "fabricated." There are many different ways in which forensic science can be used to convict and ultimately release a convicted person from prison, for example: While forensic science is not an exact science, there have been great advancements in the scientific community over the past 100+ years since th...

Forensic Expertise has been used for decades by many law enforcement agencies and other government agencies. It is a valuable resource that can help save money, reduce liability, and provide answers to troubling questions. As corporations continue to face questions regarding their activities leading up to the recent mortgage crisis, forensic experts can help manage corporate risk. One of the most important aspects of corporate risk management is knowing the sources from which forensic experts can obtain information. Many corporate and insurance companies have in the past relied on outside resources to conduct investigations. Often these investigations did not prove to be an accurate representation of the true scope of the problem, but the company did not know for sure. In these instances, forensic experts were able to provide the necessary information to help manage corporate exposure to risks. While this is still an important part of corporate risk management, many companies are turni...

With forensic technology is becoming an integral part of our legal system and with crime statistics rising, manufacturers need to be sure that they are choosing their forensics experts wisely. It is important for manufacturers to carefully vet any candidates they consider to be a good fit for the position of forensics expert. They need to ensure that the forensics expert that they hire possesses the specific qualities that will best meet their needs. Here are some of the qualities that manufacturers need in their forensic experts: It is important that manufacturers hire an expert that is closely-related to their own experience and knowledge. For instance, if a manufacturer were to hire an electrical consultant that was relatively new to the field, then the company would run the risk of losing a lot of money as the project may not proceed as planned. Likewise, when it comes to forensic work, it is wise to consider hiring someone who has worked on similar cases to the one you are plannin...

A few years ago, I took part in a seminar organized by the American Association of Certified Public Accountants (AACPA). The topic was forensic accounting, and there were quite a number of topics discussed. Among those which were most popular were tax law, corporate fraud, and accounting firms specializing in forensic accounting. Many people ask me whether this is still relevant today, and what role can forensic accounting play in today's complex world? The first part of the question posed to me was whether it is still relevant today, considering all the advancements that have been made in the past eight years. I was actually surprised that the question came up, given that technology has advanced by such a wide margin during that time. To go back to the question posed in the title, digital forensics experts are hired by accounting firms to analyze financial records that might be difficult to manipulate, in order to either clear the individual of criminal liability or show that the ...

Forensic Science has been a trusted leader for more than 25 years, providing cross-disciplinary forensic expertise to insurance companies, law firms, independent investigators, manufacturers and corporate executives to determine the facts through expert investigation. In the last quarter century, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of forensic cases that have been turned over to our forensic specialists. There are many reasons that these cases have increased at an exponential rate, including the explosion of identity theft in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Moreover, because our forensic experts are able to connect the dots when criminals do not leave any physical trace, many criminals are being caught through forensic investigations. While the overwhelming majority of crimes are solved successfully, there is always the exception. A forensic expert, working independently or as an associate in a law firm or corporate investigation agency, is responsible for ...

If you are looking for child custody information, then this is the right place to start. Child custody information is not really complex but can be confusing at times, especially if you have never been through this before. The most basic and fundamental of all child custody information is that both parents have equal legal rights and responsibilities to their children. This means that if one parent abuse the child or is negligent, then the child will automatically have equal rights and responsibilities with the other parent. The first step in determining custody is to file a legal petition asking the courts to decide custody and grant you to be the main parent with sole custody of your child. You will then have to file back a legal application stating your right to be the main caregiver of your child. The legal name of the application you have to file also depends on your state. But basically the petition should contain the statement that your parenting plan considers the best interest...
