Our Resources
A variety of investigative techniques are utilized in obtaining pertinent and useful information regarding the legitimacy and accuracy of a particular claim. Our specially equipped surveillance vehicles and video equipment allow us to provide the client with a clear understanding of a claimant’s activities, abilities and limitations. We pride ourselves in the art of being discrete, ethical and professional.
Timely research, investigation and case preparation make the difference in determining the prevailing party in any civil litigation matter. Our resources are available from the time litigation is contemplated and being evaluated through trial and even the appeal process.
Dishonesty and incompetence can be hidden behind a façade of misleading financial statements and claims of accomplishment. Personal and corporate historical research can uncover crucial information in due diligence matters. Our thorough background investigations can assist the client in making informed decisions.
Statistics show that over 35% of resumes are misrepresented. We can substantiate your applicant’s qualifications and assertions through online databases and through a network of former law enforcement professionals.
Hiring a Private Investigator
The laws pertaining to private investigators vary in some degree from state to state. Ensure that your investigator is well-versed in state laws and is properly licensed in the state the investigation is being performed. Always verify that your investigator is adequately insured and bonded prior to retaining their services.
Your investigator should have a proven record of investigative success and be able to provide you with a CV stating his or her investigative experience and references. They should have the ability to craft a clear and concise report and be able to effectively provide credible testimony in a legal proceeding.
