Criminal Defense Investigations
We provide independent case reviews and strategic support for criminal defense attorneys. Our former law enforcement professionals identify procedural errors, re-interview witnesses, and uncover overlooked evidence. With decades of homicide investigation experience, we challenge flawed police work and build stronger defenses through factual analysis and court-admissible documentation.
Insurance Fraud Investigations
Our team specializes in uncovering auto accident and disability claim fraud through surveillance and digital evidence analysis. We conduct medical canvassing, social media monitoring, and witness interviews to verify claims. Detailed reports with video documentation help insurance carriers reduce liability while maintaining legal compliance in multi-jurisdictional cases.
Digital Forensics
Cellebrite-certified experts recover deleted data from mobile devices and computers using forensic imaging. We detect spyware, analyze metadata, and authenticate digital media for corporate and legal clients. Our technical surveillance countermeasures include RF spectrum analysis to identify hidden tracking devices in sensitive environments.
Corporate Fraud Investigations
We help businesses identify employee theft, intellectual property leaks, and policy violations through covert operations and digital forensics. Our investigations include HR protocol-aligned interviews and security vulnerability assessments. We provide court-admissible reports to resolve workplace harassment claims and financial discrepancies while maintaining operational confidentiality.
Missing Persons Locating
Using advanced skip tracing and open-source intelligence, we locate missing individuals for legal and family matters.
