Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

Legal investigators help with preparing civil and criminal defenses, serving legal documents, locating witnesses, obtaining and examining evidence, and conducting interviews of law enforcement professionals and witnesses. They obtain information on litigation parties and sometimes testify in court. They also prepare reports and evidence for trials and take photographs. Legal investigators often conduct research for a variety of reasons including initiating legal action, devising defense strategies, and supporting legal proceedings. They prepare a variety of legal documents such as pleadings, briefs, appeals, contracts, wills, and real estate closing statements. They also prepare affidavits and other required documents, file pleadings with court clerks, and maintain documents.

Legal investigators typically need at least a high school diploma, but most employers prefer candidates with a college education. Many legal investigators have an associate or bachelor degree in criminal justice or political science. Prospective legal investigators typically complete courses in criminal justice, legal terminology, legal research, investigation techniques, law ethics, and civil and criminal litigation. Many employers provide on the job training to enable new legal investigators to learn the policies and procedures of the employer. Many states require legal investigators to be licensed private investigators. Licensing requirements vary, but typically include minimum education and experience, and passing a written examination and background check. Many legal investigators gain the Certified Legal Investigator designation from the National Association of Legal Investigators. Legal investigators must complete continuing education and training to maintain their certifications and keep their skills up to date.

Assertiveness, persistence, determination, and critical thinking are essential characteristics. Legal investigators must have strong communication skills and be comfortable with confrontation. They must be able to think quickly on their feet and have good interviewing skills.
