WHO & HOW WE CAN HELP

ATTORNEYS & LEGAL TEAMS
We partner with law firms to provide reliable evidence and professional process service. From subpoenas and citations to surveillance reports, our work supports your case with the documentation courts require. We also provide testimony when needed to support investigative findings.

BUSINESSES & EMPLOYERS
Protecting company resources is critical for every business. We provide background checks on current employees and conduct workplace surveillance.
We support businesses by:
- Conducting background checks on current employees
- Conducting surveillance from outside of the business or inside as either an employee or customer

LOCATING MISSING PERSONS
Whether you’ve lost contact with someone or need to locate an individual for legal, personal, or business reasons, we provide nationwide locate services. Unlike outdated online databases, we use professional, up-to-date investigative resources and a nationwide network to ensure accuracy.
Our locate services are used for:
- Finding missing persons
- Reconnecting with relatives or friends
- Assisting attorneys with casework
- Tracking individuals for financial or legal purposes

PARENTS & FAMILIES
Child custody cases can be complex, and courts are not able to observe daily life. That’s where we step in. Our investigators document the day-to-day interactions between parents and children, providing clear evidence of stability, or instability, when it matters most. From signs of neglect or abuse to issues such as substance use, cohabitation, or unsuitable associates, we provide the documentation attorneys and families need to protect a child’s well-being.
Common reasons parents hire us include:
- Proving neglect or abuse
- Documenting lifestyle and stability
- Monitoring drug or alcohol use
- Identifying barred associates
- Supporting visitation disputes

COUPLES & INDIVIDUALS
Infidelity investigations are some of the most difficult cases emotionally, and the uncertainty can be devastating. Whether married, engaged, or in a committed relationship, knowing the truth can protect your peace of mind, and your future. We discreetly gather evidence through surveillance, photography, and video, and we work closely with your attorney if the case proceeds to court.
We help individuals facing:
- Suspected affairs or infidelity
- Pre-marriage concerns
- Divorce or financial risk
- Emotional stress from uncertainty
