Our goal is to let you practice the law while our experts perform the investigation. We save clients money by providing many services that would be more expensive for a law firm to handle in-house, such as gathering evidence, running background checks on clients, tracking down witnesses before trial and researching a potential defendant’s ability to pay a judgment. We are accustomed to working on tight schedules and can cater to the unique needs of your law firm and case, whether it’s attending weekly meetings, giving frequent status updates or providing our bills in a format that can be incorporated into your total bill. We are ethical, flexible and responsive, and — as agents of attorneys — we are covered by legal privilege.
The work of private investigators has evolved a lot over the years. While many investigators do continue to specialize in surveillance for domestic matters — a staple of private detective work in the 1990s — that is not the type of work that our firm generally does. Rather, our investigators work alongside attorneys to help prosecute or defend litigation cases. This involves serving complaints and summonses to initiate civil actions, interviewing and taking sworn statements from witnesses, writing detailed reports to document our investigative efforts and sometimes testifying about our investigations, mainly to impeach witnesses. While we also routinely do surveillance and have high-tech equipment to accomplish these cases, our main tools are computers and databases, which we use to find people and other information, and our skills as expert interviewers.
