Importance and Value of Private Investigators from a Lawyer’s Perspective
Attorney Imai (Member of the Second Tokyo Bar Association) shares the following insights based on his professional experience:

“In the course of my legal practice, I have often had to advise clients by saying, ‘I’m sorry, but in this case you will need to rely on a professional investigator.’ There are many instances in which evidence crucial to a case could not be obtained through legal channels alone, yet was successfully uncovered with the help of a private investigator. In litigation, both the quantity and credibility of information can decisively affect the outcome. For this reason, I consider investigative work by professional detectives to be not only valuable but indispensable in resolving disputes. That said, it is unfortunate that some investigative agencies operate in ways that I find inappropriate. Therefore, when seeking assistance, it is essential to ensure that the investigator is trustworthy and that the engagement—both in method and cost—provides real value.”
