Client Background
Houston Divorce Attorney Requests Professional Asset Search Investigation for Court Proceedings
Asset search investigation services require specialized financial expertise to uncover hidden assets and protect client interests during legal proceedings. A prominent Houston divorce attorney contacted our agency representing a client whose spouse was suspected of concealing substantial assets during their contentious divorce case. The opposing party claimed limited financial resources while maintaining an affluent lifestyle that didn’t match their declared income and assets. With significant alimony and property division at stake, the attorney required professional asset search investigation services to locate hidden assets and ensure fair settlement distribution according to actual financial circumstances.
