A defense investigator or public defender might leave a card at your door to seek your assistance as a potential witness or to gather information relevant to a case. They may believe you possess important knowledge or insights that could help in the defense of a client. This outreach is part of their duty to ensure a fair trial and to gather all pertinent facts surrounding the case.
