By adding Eagle’s Eye to your legal team, you get professionally created, third-party visual data. High quality photographic images take advantage of the fact that all people think in mental color pictures, no matter what the subject is. The images keep people focused on the facts of the case.

Photographic images are useful for a number of different reasons which include clarity, high impact, and longer lasting memory which are important, powerful tools to use in any legal dispute or court case. We provide custom color aerial oblique and near vertical images, and or ground documentation, depending on the specific elements of the case.

Photographic images are superior demonstrative evidence, since everyone thinks in mental pictures. Images serve multiple purposes for WINNING or SETTLING legal cases.

Our mission is to provide the legal profession with cost-effective visual tools that:

• Prove existence of fact or issue
• Educate the jury and/or judge in a bench trial
• Create visual images of an accident site or incident location
• Convey a clear impression of oral testimony
• VERB scale sketches of conditions at the scene
• Provide direct evidence of things which have not been described by a witness
• support material facts at issue
• Demonstrate facts to help everyone understand the case
• Disprove testimony of a witness
• Clear up contradictions of witnesses
• Assist a witness in illustrating or explaining his/her position
• Refresh memories of officers or witnesses
• Solidify specific points

A large, clear photographic image placed in front of the jury is the best available means of presenting an idea or the appearance of a scene at a given time. The photographic image becomes a valuable tool to create a mental painting, keeping the jury focused on your point. It is difficult to get photographic images out of jurors’ minds, since we all think photographically. Photographs can be used as relevant evidence* and as a negotiation tool for settlement, also. A photograph is a witness that never forgets…and a jury can never forget.

*Black’s Law Dictionary–Relevant evidence is evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.

We create and capture the images with a professional grade, digital 18 mega pixel camera, giving high-quality images, which is all-important to creating clear, crisp, detailed images. All print processing of the photographic images are custom-crafted at our in-house color digital lab. This allows us to maintain control of the images, as a disinterested third party, which allows us to attest to the authenticity of the image and chain of custody. Not one of our photographic images has ever been disallowed into evidence. By maintaining complete control of the images we are also able to control cost, confidentiality, quality, and short turn-around time schedules, usually necessary during court cases.

Images we create for a client, will NOT be released to opposing counsel without written authorization from our client. With your already busy and hectic law practice and schedule of preparing a court case or settling disputes, we realize deadlines are an issue and time is usually in short supply. We document people, places, or things that are a fair representation of the subject matter

Photographic Authenticity Certificates for all vertical, oblique and ground images are available for submitting with the photographic exhibits into evidence. All enlargements used in a court trial will require an 8.5 X 11 print for the Court Record. In the event that we are called in to testify, we come in only as a technician who created the image and can attest to the authenticity of the image only, and that the image is an accurate representation of the area depicted at the moment the image was created. This is the basis of the Authenticity Certificate written in legal terms. We do not serve as an expert witness to the photographic processes of film, digital or camera operation. These are givens in the creation of photographic images.

Print sizes up to 24×36, mounted on foam core, are available for court room displays printed in house. Which controls confidentiality, cost, turn around time, and quality. Images larger are done at an outside lab.
