What is a Pre-Filing Investigation? A pre-filing investigation occurs between the time when you are initially investigated and when formal charges are filed. The police gather facts, interview witne... sses, and prepare police reports. During a pre-filing investigation, you should hire an attorney to prepare your defense, interview witnesses, and persuade the district attorney to drop charges. When does pre-filing end? A pre-filing investigation will end when the district attorney rejects the case, or the statute of limitation expires, or formal charges are filed.
