Investigator

Trial Unit Investigators assist attorneys across the Northern District of Georgia in representing individuals
charged in federal court with offenses ranging from misdemeanors to capital felonies. Our cases are
investigation-intensive and require substantial fieldwork, including witness interviews and crime scene
investigation across a wide geographic area.
Investigators are integral members of the case and trial team. They work closely with attorneys, paralegals,
social workers, and mitigation specialists to develop case strategy, maintain client and family relationships,
and prepare for hearings and trial. The ideal applicant has excellent interpersonal and communication skills
and is comfortable interacting with people from all backgrounds, including individuals experiencing substance
abuse and mental health challenges.
An effective investigator responds thoughtfully to assignments while also proactively identifying additional
leads, issues, or avenues of inquiry that may assist in the defense.
