Background Investigations

Background investigations are crucial to most cases. A background check is an investigation into a person's professional and personal history that validates or disproves their character and identity, helping you learn facts about potential business partners, parties in litigation, witnesses, investors, and borrowers. A typical background check includes criminal records, education and employment history, civil records, references, and more, depending on the situation and individual.

Asset Investigations

Asset investigations uncover value and any potential liabilities tied to a property. These searches help individuals and companies satisfy due diligence, settle personal injury cases, collect debt, and verify financial statements during a divorce or child support case. A qualified private investigator can determine whether a business or person is using a fictitious business name, committing fraud, hiding assets, or has multiple outstanding judgments.
