Scrub the backgrounds of your side's witnesses for vulnerabilities

The Mintz Group checks the background and reputation of its litigator-clients' own expert and fact witnesses as a matter of due diligence and to anticipate what opposing counsel might find.

In these background checks, we focus on three issues (in addition to any particular concerns our client may have): Has this person ever been in trouble? Has he been truthful about his background? Was she credible and consistent in prior testimony?

In the course of investigating thousands of business executives, we have learned to look for certain “dirty little secrets” that people try to hide about themselves. We list the ones we most commonly uncover in “19 Things Business Executives Don't Want You To Know.”

Our reports include not just the facts on these issues, but copies of actual documents in which those facts appear.

Many of our clients check Nexis, Google and other resources themselves before asking the Mintz Group to dig deeper. This saves the client money and assigns us only the investigative steps by which we add significant value.
