INFIDELITY / CHEATING SPOUSE

Are you living in fear that your spouse may be unfaithful? Let us help you find the answers you are looking for if you suspect infidelity.  Statistically more than 50% of marriages end in divorce and many more than that have to deal with the devastation and after math of marital infidelity. 

Some signs of infidelity are:

  • When a spouse becomes emotionally distant withdrawn or depressed

  •  Your spouse becomes angry, critical and even at times cruel

  • Spouse has an increase in working hours, after work meetings, business trips and a need to work out of town for prolonged periods of time

  • They are paying an extra special attention the their appearance 

DOMESTIC INVESTIGATIONS

Domestic Investigations are the most common type brought to Private Investigators, and include the following:

  • Divorce

  • Child custody / support

  • Cohabitation

  • Threats, Blackmail and Extortion

  • Elderly, Spouse or Child Abuse

  • Child Negligence or Abandonment

  • Stalking

  • Pre-Marital and Pre-Nuptial Investigations​

​

In the case of a Domestic issue, its best to have  a licensed  Investigator conducting the Investigation.  We can obtain all evidence legally so that it can later be used in court proceedings. When sensitive information is involved, our investigators have access to resources that are not available to the public.

WORKERS COMPENSATION

In California, workers' compensation insurance is a no-fault system. Injured employees need not prove an injury was someone else's fault in order to receive workers' compensation benefits for an on-the-job injury. In addition to medical expenses being covered for injured employees, some injured workers are entitled to recover a portion of lost wages resulting from injury. Fraudulent workers' compensation claims can be an enticing target for criminals.

Workers' compensation insurance fraud occurs in simple and complex schemes that often require difficult and lengthy investigations. Employees may exaggerate or even fabricate injuries. At the other end of the spectrum, white-collar criminals, including doctors and lawyers, entice, pay, and conspire with others to defraud the system by creating false or exaggerated claims, over treating, and over prescribing harmful and addictive drugs. Insurance companies "pick up the tab," passing the cost onto policyholders, taxpayers and the general public.

BACKGROUND CHECK

We offer a wide array of services along with background checks. The more information you have on the person, the easier the process, but we can get results with little to go on. Using databases restricted to the general public we dig deep for accuracy’s sake. Primary focuses in a background check might include criminal, citizenship, financial, credit, driving, employment, litigation, education and military histories. Meanwhile, most online options only gather public information, and don’t decipher it. 

MISSING PERSON / LOCATES

Missing persons investigations and locate investigations are conducted to findsomeone, locate their whereabouts, and uncover the contact information of a subject. While it can be a suspicious disappearance, it can also be as simple as someone who has run away or just an old friend you have lost contact with.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS

A criminal investigation is an undertaking that seeks, collects, and gathers evidence of a crime for a case or specific purpose.

We look for clues and evidence to determine whether a crime has taken place. If a crime has been committed, our investigators may look into the background of the accused and try to uncover who committed the crime.

Types of Criminal Investigation:

​

PROCESS SERVE

In some cases, people don’t want to be served legal documents. They may wish to avoid a court case and attempt to leave town or simply refuse to accept the documents. When this happens, it may save you time, money, and effort to hire a professional process server to serve the documents for you. A professional can:

  • Use surveillance techniques to find the person if they don’t want to be found.

  • Use skip tracing to find them if they have left town or the country. They can even utilize their connections to investigators in other areas in order to get the job done.

  • Ensure the documents are served legally. In some states, process servers must have the legal documents touch the body of the person being served. In other states, trespass laws do not allow servers to approach someone on their own property. If your papers are not delivered properly, your case could be thrown out or tangled up in legal problems for a long period of time.

  • Provide solid evidence that the documents were served. If the person who is served the papers, claims they did not receive legal documents, a qualified professional will be able to show an affidavit of service or proof of service that can prove that the person accepted the documents.

STATEMENTS/INTERVIEWS

Statements are taken orally with the investigator leading the witness through a series of general questions about the nature of an accident or incident. The investigator writes the signed statement as if the witness was writing it themselves. Generally, signed statements are hand-written by the investigator with the witness signing and dating at the end and the investigator notarizing their signature.

The statement will cover the who, what, when, where and why of the incident and will put on the record the witness’s official account of the events which transpired.

Signed statements must be given freely and should not be done in exchange for monetary compensation (which may call into question the validity of the facts contained therein) or under coercion (which is illegal).

​

Signed statements are important, since they commit the witness to exactly what they saw and make it very difficult to change their story later on without obviously contradicting themselves on the record.
