FOR THE INNOCENT RESOLUTIONS

For The Innocent Resolutions is a special undertaking division of C. J. Ford Private Investigations that sole purpose it to evaluate and come up with investigative remedies for Wrongfully Convicted inmate cases. Our task is to fully investigate Wrongfully Convicted cases and find overlooked investigative areas that were not part of the defense of the attorney’s that could have prevented the conviction. We also look for investigative resolutions that were never introduced to the case, if introduced might have prevented the conviction. 

We find in our research in alleged Wrongfully Convicted cases that most inmates claim that either little or no investigative efforts were ever made on their cases. If these investigative related projects such as witness locating and questioning, evidence gathering, evidence testing, time lines creation, crime scene reconstruction, prosecutorial misconduct, and police misconduct were investigated thoroughly, it would have changed the outcome of their cases.

WHAT QUALIFIES INMATES FOR THESE SERVICES

This service is offered to inmates and their families that are in the low financial bracket or indigent. Service can be started by a low retainer fee and low monthly payments. Cases that are financed in this way are immediately started. Cases where inmates are completely indigent are managed by donations, fundraisers, or other outside projects. 

SPECIAL PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Since the For The Innocent Resolutions goal is to overturn convictions of “Wrongfully Convicted” inmates, we are willing to work with our clients on payments. We take low payments, bartering arrangements, collateral, working arrangements, or other “Resolutions” to expedite actions on cases. We understand that people the qualify for this service are low income. Since our services are mostly pro bono, we are always willing to make a reasonable arrangement that will off set our cost.

FOR THE INNOCENT RESOLUTIONS - DONATIONS AND FUNDRAISERS

The investigative services provided are mostly “pro bono” on all completely indigent cases. Fundraisers and donations can go to specific cases, or can go into a general fund for the project itself. We reserve the right to determine which cases receive funding unless the funds were directed towards a specific case. We usually fund cases that are evaluated as having a good chance to prevail and conviction can be overturned. However, when low payment arrangements are made to specific cases, we immediately work on those cases regardless of the evaluation outcome. 

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “FOR THE INNOCENT RESOLUTIONS” (FTIR) AND “C. J. FORD JUSTICE FOUNDATION” (CJFJF)

For The Innocent Resolutions is a division of C. J. Ford Private Investigations and is a sole proprietor, profit organization that provides investigative services. The majority of these services are payment arrangement or Pro bono for indigent clients. The C. J. Ford Justice Foundation is a “nonprofit” Corporation that provides other out sourced services unrelated to “FTIR” to Indigent inmates and their families. It is completely funded by donations, grants, and fundraisers. The services provided by CJFJF are legal, experts, DNA testing, and family support service. 

If you want to donate to FTIR, your donation will go to investigative services to indigent inmates and finding resolutions to their FTIR cases. The donation is NOT tax deductible. If you donate to CJFJF it is for out sourced services and your donation is tax deductible. 

Revenue from the CJFJF does not go to FTIR because these are two entire different structured entities and corporate law prohibits this. So if you donate to either organizations you need to be specific as to which one you are donating to. FTIR is for investigative services to Indigent inmates and CJFJF is for out sourced Indigent inmate services.
