Vindicating the Innocent
We expose injustice, restore reputations, and fight back with evidence. The US~Observer is more than a newspaper—we're advocates for the wrongfully accused.
Why the US~Observer?
Victims of abuse, financial scams, and false criminal charges hire the US~Observer to resolve their problems successfully.
The US~Observer is a privately owned investigative reports and commentary publication with subscribers in all 50 states and several foreign countries. Since 1991, we have successfully beaten thousands of criminal charges and civil claims where individuals had been wronged by the justice system. We have also recouped millions of investment dollars for those who were duped or scammed out of their hard-earned money.
When hired, the US~Observer works for your vindication. If you have been charged with crimes, been maliciously attacked in court civilly, or been abused or cheated by someone, we will investigate your case to achieve the evidence that will prove your factual innocence, determine your lack of liability, or track down the dollars to make you whole.
"The power of public opinion is what will ultimately vindicate you. This is what we cultivate when promoting your case through our nationally distributed paper and our network of online affiliates."
Making the facts of your case public knowledge is something attorneys are barred from doing. This tactic puts an amazing amount of public pressure on those in political positions. Often, publication is not even necessary. Our methods have been proven to work.
The fact is, when it comes to false prosecution, attorneys alone are not effective. The US~Observer combats the one-sided assault of public opinion and gives you the only real chance you have at vindication—the publishing of the facts of your case.
