Domestic Infidelity

Our detectives will attempt to develop investigative evidence the client and/or attorney can use, in or out of court, against the “subject/target” (the person or persons being investigated). Surveillance, background data and other investigative skills may be required.

A licensed detective will meet with you (by phone or in person) to discuss your case details and budget. During or after the consultation, the investigator will obtain the client and subject/target information. The investigator will advise you of our strategy for conducting the investigation. We will also consult with your attorney if you advise us to do so. If required, we will testify in open court as to the evidence we develop in the field.

All consultations and clients are confidential. The detective who meets with you during the consultation shall review all fees and answer all your questions. Fees and retainers shall be determined at the meeting with the client and detective. A signed “Retainer Agreement” is required.

Child Custody Surveillance

Investigators will conduct surveillance on a spouse, ex-spouse, or other person to determine the activities of that person. This can be conducted with or without the minor children being present with the respective subject of our investigation.

Behavior and other factors are studied and documented while the investigators conduct surveillance. Evidence such as alcohol or drug use; indecent behavior; affiliation with criminal associates; violent, inadequate or dangerous surroundings for the minor child; evidence of abuse or neglect and other additional evidence will be documented. Investigators can document and video/photograph the child being left unattended, abused or unsupervised and/or present with unknown associates.
