Pros

The investigators are given tasks by the office attorneys to conduct follow-up investigations, get copies of records, conduct interviews, take photographs, etc. The caseload is not overbearing and the office environment is great.

Cons

Some local prosecutors make your job as hard as possible and do not want you to be able to access the information you need.
