>> My name is Yaligi Bryant [phonetic], and I am a licensed private investigator.
And that consists of working civil cases.
Civil includes domestic, workman's compensation, skip traces and that nature.
Criminal includes assaults, some capital offenses and some white collar crime.
Well, there isn't a typical day for me.
I can give you a rundown of some of the things that I do do.
So I would say a criminal case, if it's a criminal day, a new case,
I'll go and visit the client in prison or jail.
You kind of get their story, their statement or account of that day.
You then go out and you interview suspects, witnesses, persons of interest.
You may visit county courthouses, police departments, just gather evidence.
You may visit your coroner's office.
You get to see autopsy reports.
So you build up some of the steps, and you compile that information for the attorney
into reports or diagrams or a presentation for the defense.
And you present that in court when trial comes around.
