Investigation Proves You Can’t Be in Two Places at One Time

In the investigative business, one day is never like the next. At , we happen to like the fact that we might work with a few insurance companies, to find the truth about suspected insurance fraud and then go directly to a case involving suspected employee embezzlement. From there, it’s not a bit unusual for us to then help an attorney locate a missing heir or find unknown heirs. We also frequently work with both sides of a court case. Sometimes it’s the prosecutor’s office. But on other occasions, we get a call from a defense attorney. Not long ago, a defense attorney contacted about a high-profile case. In many ways, the media had already got the ball rolling in regard to publicly trying and [...]

The average citizen doesn’t think about how attorneys find the witnesses they need for court. works with attorneys to find a person that might hold the key to their case.

The grandmother whose grandchild was relocated to another state after the death of her child. We often hear an emotional story and are handed a few tattered photographs.

Most, if not all of us, have experienced situations where we felt powerless. It’s not pleasant, by any means. Feeling like you have absolutely no control over a situation is difficult.
