Investigations
Personal Injury
If an attorney or insurance agent is to experience quick successful resolution with a particular legitimate case, they must possess a higher level of supportive evidence or witness information than the other party involved. Most cases do not have that level of proof when presented to a firm. And, unfortunately, most attorneys and insurance agents do not have ready access to competent investigators who can assist them in developing that level of information. Therefore, many busy professionals are forced to waste countless hours in strategy sessions and other non-productive meetings, trying to negotiate cases on limited evidence. All too often, due to the limited information, they are not able to provide proper supporting evidence for these clients, which would have prompted the receipt of adequate financial awards. Imagine having access to a personal case detective, one working for you on a case-by-case, as-needed hourly basis; one who can assist in strategic consultation and case development, scene evaluation, locating additional witnesses and written audio or video documentation. Our investigators know how to develop a case from the beginning stages and how to strategically follow leads and gather witness information. Better yet, imagine all of this happening while the attorney or agent is focused on presenting and winning a previously investigated case. How would all of this reflect on each lawyer or agent's personal reputation as a successful professional? Furthermore, if several individuals from the same office were to use this approach, how do you think that would reflect on the firm's overall reputation?
Custody
There is nothing more gut wrenching or agonizing than to have a child in the custody of an unfit parent. On "court day" everyone seems to show up with a fresh haircut wearing new clothes and claiming to be parent of the year. Many custody hearings then become a "he said, she said" battle with no real way for a judge to know the truth when it's based on unsubstantiated claims. Before presenting a custody case to a court, it is always advisable that you support your claims with documented facts obtained through a professionally conducted custody investigation. Our child custody investigators are hand picked (off-duty) police detectives, with extensive backgrounds dealing with child issues. They will assist you with your legitimate claim in developing witnesses and uncovering information for your attorney to present to the court system. NOTE: Prior to accepting your case, we require a county-wide criminal history check from all clients when child custody is involved. We cannot accept clients with felony convictions.

Maybe you were involved in a minor accident and need some additional help or guidance in some way; or you're trying to do something in small claims court and just need a little or a lot of assistance at some point. Whatever the problem is which may be keeping you up at night--call us.
