Post-conviction casework in Tennessee
A conviction is not the end of the facts. Pinnacle's private eyes find the witnesses who have changed their story, the evidence that was never disclosed, and the work trial counsel never did.
Post-Conviction Review handled by a licensed private detective agency
Post-conviction relief in Tennessee turns on things that happened outside the trial record: a witness who now admits they lied, a report the defense never received, an alibi trial counsel never checked, a juror who saw something they should not have. Finding and documenting those facts years later is slow, careful work, and it is the specialty of a private detective agency that knows how to locate people who have moved on with their lives and get them to talk about a case they would rather forget.
Pinnacle works post-conviction matters with appellate counsel, innocence organizations and families across Tennessee. We re-interview witnesses, locate new ones, trace evidence handling, review trial counsel's file for what was not done, and produce affidavits and reports that meet the standard courts require.
Situations post-conviction review casework is built for
If one of these sounds familiar, a confidential conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies the next step.
- A witness who has told someone they did not tell the truth at trial
- Evidence or reports counsel now believes were withheld
- An alibi or witness trial counsel never contacted
- A co-defendant who has since given a different account
- Juror misconduct or outside influence during trial
- A family that has never accepted the verdict and wants it examined properly

Skip tracing, records work and patient field visits. People move, marry and change numbers, but they can be found.
Sometimes. We interview carefully, document what is said, and work with counsel on obtaining a sworn statement where the witness is willing.
Yes. We compare what was in the file to what a reasonable investigation would have produced, which is central to ineffective-assistance claims.
