Witness Verification — does the statement match the facts?
Witness statements often form a crucial part of the evidence. But are they accurate? We verify statements for factual correctness, consistency and credibility.

Witness Verification
Witness statements can make or break a case. But how reliable is a statement really? Do the details match the objective facts? Are there contradictions with earlier statements or with physical evidence? We verify witness statements for factual accuracy, internal consistency and credibility. In addition, we trace additional witnesses and professionally record new statements. This way, as an attorney, you have verified evidence that holds up in court.
What we investigate
What do we do?
We verify witness statements against objective sources such as registers, camera footage and documents. Through consistency analysis, we compare statements side by side to reveal contradictions. We trace additional witnesses, properly record statements and, where relevant, conduct a background investigation into possible interests or motives.
In which cases?
Witness verification is deployed in criminal law (alibi investigations, review of incriminating statements), civil law (liability, neighbour disputes, personal injury), employment law (dismissal cases, behavioural complaints), family law (access cases, alimony) and insurance law (damage claims, suspected fraud).
How does the investigation work?
We study the statements and identify verification points.
We determine which facts will be checked and which sources consulted.
Our investigators carry out the fieldwork — discreetly and with respect for all parties involved.
You receive a report with the findings per statement, confirmed facts and contradictions.
