What We Offer

Our Services

We are not attorneys. We are researchers, investigators, and advocates who prepare the groundwork that legal teams need to act on post-conviction cases.

Important: 444 Justice is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal representation. All services below are research, investigative support, and organizational in nature. Nothing we provide creates an attorney-client relationship.
Service 01

Case File Review

A structured review of all available case materials to identify potential legal issues, overlooked evidence, and investigative leads. We look at what's there — and critically, what should be there but isn't.

We organize findings into a clear summary that attorneys and families can use as a foundation for further action.

What We Review

  • Trial transcripts and court records
  • Police and detective reports
  • Forensic and laboratory reports
  • Medical examiner records
  • Witness statements
  • Appellate opinions and filings
  • Photographs and evidence logs
  • Prosecutor's disclosure records

Service 02

Legal Research

Targeted legal research for post-conviction matters, focused on issues that may support a case for review, appeal, or relief. Our research is assembled into citation-ready packets for use by counsel.

We identify applicable precedent, statutes, and standards — but we do not advise on legal strategy or represent anyone in proceedings.

Research Focus Areas

  • Constitutional violations (4th, 5th, 6th, 14th Amendment)
  • Brady / Giglio violations (suppressed evidence)
  • Prosecutorial misconduct
  • Police misconduct and fabrication
  • Ineffective assistance of counsel
  • Jury issues and juror misconduct
  • Identification procedure problems
  • Newly discovered evidence standards
  • Habeas corpus and post-conviction relief options

Service 03

Investigation Support

Factual investigation to help build a more complete picture of a case — witness location and outreach, timeline reconstruction, and public records pursuit.

Our work does not replace licensed private investigators, but it can supplement and organize the process considerably.

Investigation Activities

  • Witness location and outreach
  • Timeline reconstruction
  • Public records requests (FOIA)
  • Court record retrieval
  • Media and news archive research
  • Evidence chain-of-custody review
  • Identification of potential expert witnesses

Service 04

Attorney Preparation

When a legal team takes a case, they need to move quickly. We prepare organized research and document packages designed to accelerate that process — not replace it.

Deliverables

  • Comprehensive case summary
  • Issue-specific research packets with citations
  • Chronological evidence index
  • Witness contact summaries
  • Identified Brady / disclosure gaps
  • Cross-referenced digital document binder
  • Expert witness suggestions by issue type

Service 05

Family Advocacy

Families navigating the post-conviction system often face it without a guide. We help families understand what the process looks like, what documents to gather, and how to identify organizations and attorneys who specialize in their situation.

Family Support Includes

  • Explaining appeals and post-conviction options
  • Identifying innocence projects and legal aid
  • Organizing existing case materials
  • Assistance with records requests
  • Connecting families with advocacy organizations
  • Guidance on communicating with incarcerated loved ones

Service 06

Wrongful Conviction Consulting

An initial evaluation to assess whether a case has identifiable issues that may warrant further investigation, research, or advocacy. This is the first step for many families — a professional look with honest feedback.

Initial Evaluation Covers

  • Case overview and charge summary
  • Identification of common wrongful-conviction factors
  • Assessment of available evidence
  • Preliminary disclosure review
  • Recommended next steps
