If I my attorney is a public defender, can I use a private investigator?

Yes! There is state funding in Michigan through the MIDC (Michigan Indigent Defense Commission) that is available in every county for defendants that cannot afford an attorney or investigator. These funds can be used to pay for an investigator to be part of your criminal defense team.

Brian’s swift and hard work and detailed investigations have made the difference for many of my clients. I can not recommend him and his firm highly enough.

Richard Schaaf

I was referred to Vantage Point by my attorney during my custody case in late 2023. From my initial phone conversation with Brian I could already tell I was making the right choice by hiring him to work my case. He was thorough and on his game every step of the way. He listens and does exactly what he tells you he’s going to do. He fought for me and got me some very important evidence that was crucial for my case. I can’t talk enough about how grateful I am that I hired Brian to work for me and I recommend him to anyone looking for an investigator. Not many people understand how crucial an investigator can be in a custody battle but after my experiences I strongly recommend it especially if you need the evidence you cannot obtain yourself. Brian is a master of his trade and I will use him for all my future investigative needs and you should too!
