Earlier than most firms do. In 17-plus years working as private investigators for lawyers, we have watched strong cases weaken because a witness relocated and nobody looked until three weeks before trial. Memory decays, video gets overwritten, addresses go stale. Early investigation is almost always less expensive than late investigation.

Yes. Our investigators provide written declarations and appear at hearing and trial. Every assignment is documented from the first day on the assumption that someone will eventually be cross-examined about how the evidence was obtained.

Evidence is timestamped, logged, and preserved with documented custody from collection forward. Field notes are written contemporaneously rather than reconstructed after the fact, which is what matters when methodology gets challenged.

Yes. We accept assignments nationwide, including multi-state matters where a single case requires fieldwork in several venues at once. Every investigator assigned is licensed where the work happens, vetted by us, and confirmed before fieldwork begins. You get one point of contact and one report regardless of how many venues the case touches.

Many assignments begin within 24 hours of engagement. Time-sensitive matters such as a closing surveillance window or an approaching trial date can often be prioritized. If a deadline is not realistic, we will tell you before you retain us rather than after.

Then we tell you. Knowing that a theory does not hold up is worth something before you build a trial strategy around it. We report what we found and what we did not find, without padding hours to justify a result.
