Primary Services
Comprehensive investigative solutions tailored to meet your specific needs with discretion and professionalism.
Criminal Investigation Assistance
Our criminal defense investigative services are designed to close the gaps that too often undermine cases once they reach court. We conduct detailed criminal report reviews to identify discrepancies, omissions, and follow-up failures that may materially impact the defense. Services include witness interviews, evidence collection and preservation, canvassing, video review and analysis, and comprehensive discovery review. This work is informed by the perspective of a former investigator and supervisor who has seen numerous cases unravel due to incomplete or shortcut investigations.
When law enforcement fails to fully document, corroborate, or pursue exculpatory evidence, we step in to ensure those issues are identified and addressed. We also bring deep knowledge of law enforcement training requirements, records retention, and records management practices—allowing us to identify subpoena able records that are frequently overlooked during defense preparation but can prove critical to case strategy.
Administrative Investigation Assistance (SB 2 / Lexipol Policy / Application)
We provide administrative investigation services grounded in POST-mandated standards and real-world Internal Affairs experience.
These investigations involve sworn and non-sworn members of law enforcement organizations and are conducted by a former Internal Affairs supervisor with direct experience authoring and managing investigations into policy, procedure, and statutory violations. All investigations are conducted in compliance with the Peace Officers’ Bill of Rights (POBAR), applicable state law, SB 2 requirements, and department policies, including Lexipol-based frameworks.
Civil Investigation Assistance
We support civil litigation, and pre-litigation matters by identifying, developing, and documenting factual leads that strengthen a client’s position.
Services include locating and interviewing witnesses, identifying documentary and electronic evidence, and developing timelines and fact patterns that support legal theories while integrating seamlessly with counsel’s strategy.
Employee / Workplace Misconduct Investigations
We conduct neutral, independent workplace investigations involving allegations of harassment, discrimination, retaliation, ethics violations, and policy misconduct.
All investigations are performed in compliance with applicable California and federal laws, including FEHA requirements, due process considerations, and employer policies, with an emphasis on defensible findings.
Background Employment Investigations (Civilian / Law Enforcement – POST)
We provide comprehensive pre-employment background investigations for both civilian and sworn positions.
Law enforcement background investigations are conducted consistent with POST standards, while civilian screenings are tailored to organizational risk. Services include records checks, employment verification, social media reviews, and open-source intelligence analysis.
Internal Investigations (Civilian / Law Enforcement)
Our internal investigation services address alleged misconduct, policy violations, and performance-related issues within both public and private organizations.
Investigations are conducted independently and objectively, aligned with POST guidance, POBAR protections, and applicable employment laws.
Legal Defense Support
We provide investigative consultation and support services aligned with criminal and civil defense strategies.
Including discovery analysis, investigative planning, witness development, and identification of evidentiary gaps to inform legal decision-making.
Hiring & Testing / Assessment Center Assistance (Law Enforcement)
We assist law enforcement applicants and agencies with hiring and promotional processes.
Including written exams, Personal History Statements, oral boards, and assessment centers. Services are performed by former evaluators for positions ranging from police officer to command staff, with familiarity in grading standards, testing methodologies, and KSA dimensions.
Discretionary Services
Surveillance
Surveillance services involve discreet monitoring, documentation, and evidence collection to uncover facts related to infidelity, insurance fraud, child custody violations, and court order non‑compliance. Investigators employ stationary and mobile surveillance, video documentation, and pattern‑of‑life analysis to provide clients with objective, court‑ready evidence. These services are vital when a client needs proof of misconduct or fraudulent activity that cannot be obtained through interviews or public records alone.
Infidelity Investigations
Infidelity investigations focus on determining whether a spouse or partner is engaging in deceptive or unfaithful behavior. Through discreet surveillance, social media analysis, digital footprint examination, and lifestyle pattern review, investigators document activities that may include secret meetings, financial inconsistencies, or behaviors inconsistent with the partner’s explanation. Findings are presented professionally and can be used for personal closure or legal proceedings such as divorce.
Workers' Compensation / Insurance Fraud Investigations
These investigations aim to document fraudulent claims made against businesses, insurance carriers, or self‑insured entities. Investigators gather evidence through surveillance, interviews, record verification, and activity checks to determine whether claimants are exaggerating or fabricating injuries. The resulting reports help protect businesses from financial loss and support legal defense or claim denials.
Locates / Skip Tracing
Locate services help track down missing persons, debtors who have evaded contact, heirs needed for probate matters, or individuals who cannot be found using conventional methods. Investigators use databases, fieldwork, interviews, digital research, and proprietary tools to identify and confirm the whereabouts of the subject. Skip tracing is often essential for legal proceedings, financial recovery, or personal matters.
Process Serving / Legal Document Delivery
Process serving ensures legal documents—such as subpoenas, summons, restraining orders, and notices—are delivered in accordance with California law. Investigators verify identity, document service details, and prepare proofs of service that comply with court standards. Timely, accurate service is crucial to moving legal cases forward and avoiding delays.
Asset Searches
Asset searches uncover property ownership, vehicles, business interests, financial indicators, liens, judgments, and hidden assets. These investigations are often used for civil litigation, divorce, debt recovery, or fraud cases. Through database research and public record analysis, investigators produce actionable reports to help clients make informed decisions or pursue legal recovery.
Subpoena Service Support
Subpoena service support includes preparing, serving, and tracking subpoenas, followed by documenting service and returning executed paperwork to attorneys. Investigators ensure compliance with jurisdictional requirements, identify proper subjects, and provide timely updates. This service streamlines legal workflows and reduces administrative burdens on law firms.
Social Media Investigations
Social media investigations analyze online activity across major platforms to identify behavior patterns, associations, misconduct, or evidence relevant to legal or personal matters. Investigators capture posts, photos, interactions, and digital footprints in a legally admissible format. This service is commonly used in custody cases, fraud investigations, background checks, and litigation support.
Child Support/Custody/Court Order Investigations
These investigations gather evidence on violations of custody agreements, child support orders, cohabitation issues, or prohibited conduct under court mandates. Investigators document compliance failures through surveillance, interviews, and digital research, providing parents and attorneys with evidence needed for court filings or modification requests.
Personal Injury Investigations
Personal injury investigations verify the legitimacy of injury claims by documenting activities inconsistent with reported limitations, locating witnesses, photographing scenes, and analyzing timelines. These services help attorneys and insurers determine the validity of claims and detect fraudulent or exaggerated injuries.
Fraud Investigations
Fraud investigations assist victims in identifying how the fraud occurred, who is responsible, and what evidence is available for local or federal prosecution. Investigators review records, digital activity, financial documents, and communication patterns to produce comprehensive reports suitable for law enforcement referral.
