Private Investigation Services

Home » Investigation Services

Investigation services encompass a broad range of specialized activities targeted at uncovering facts, gathering evidence, and providing detailed analysis. Common types include criminal investigations, where professionals work alongside law enforcement to solve crimes by collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying suspects. Civil investigations focus on non-criminal matters such as personal injury cases, fraud, or asset searches, often used in legal disputes. Corporate investigations delve into internal issues within a company, including embezzlement, intellectual property theft, or violations of company policy. Background checks and due diligence investigations are crucial in pre-employment screening or assessing the credibility of potential business partners. Additionally, surveillance services are often employed to monitor individuals or locations, providing critical insights in cases of suspected infidelity, insurance fraud, or other concerns. Each type of investigation service is tailored to meet the specific needs of the client, leveraging various techniques and technologies to uncover the truth.

Listed below, you will find the types of investigation services we offer.

Child Support Investigation Services

Our child support investigation services involve finding the non-paying parent, showing proof of employment, proving that a parent works full-time when they are claiming they only work part-time, and other types of situations that may violate an active child support order. Child support investigations are quite common these days and age and quite often involve the hiding of assets and income by the non-paying parent.

Our job as investigators is to gather all the available proof and compile it in a report format with accompanying video footage, which is presented to the appropriate court. This evidence, along with our testimony (if requested), is usually enough to find the non-paying parent in violation of the child-support order and, in most cases, results in court action being taken that will ensure future payments from the violating party.

Child Custody Investigations

Child custody investigation services happen to be the second most common type of domestic investigations that we perform (first being infidelity). This type of investigation usually involves situations in which one parent has full custody and the other parent wants full custody or shared custody. It may also involve cases in which both parents share custody and the client may want full custody. Our primary job in this type of investigation is to gather information that would prove that the subject parent is either neglecting or abusing the child or that they are an unfit parent. Showing that a parent is unfit usually involves proving that the subject is using alcohol irresponsibly or using drugs. It may also involve other types of behavior that may put a child at risk, such as speeding or violating other traffic laws, failing to use use an age-appropriate car seat for the child, leaving the child with family when they asked the court for one-on-one time with the child, etc. 

Parental Consent Violation

Another common type of child custody investigation involves one parent taking the child from another state and bringing them to Florida, without the other parent’s consent. These types of cases are a bit more difficult because they involve locating the parent with the child (and they are usually hiding) and maintaining surveillance on them while the client goes to the appropriate court in Florida to domesticate the pick-up order. Once the order is domesticated, the police is usually called to the location to serve the order, while the client stands by to pick up the child. This process involves a lot of coordination between our agency, the client, the client’s attorney and the local police department. Fortunately, we have done hundreds of similar cases and consider ourselves experts in this type of case, so we are able to guide our clients throughout the entire process. 

Child Custody Case Evidence Gathering

Most of the evidence that we gather during a child custody investigation is usually through surveillance. Our investigators follow the subject parent for a few days (in order to establish a pattern) and obtain as much video footage as physically possible. Once the evidence is obtained, it is compiled in a report format and submitted to the client’s attorney. It is important to note that we usually work very closely with the clients’ attorneys during these types of investigations, to ensure that the evidence gathered is sufficient to prove the case.

Insurance Defense and Attorney Litigation Support

Grey Ghost private investigators play an important role in insurance defense cases by gathering evidence that can help insurers contest fraudulent or exaggerated claims. They conduct thorough investigations, including surveillance, interviews, and background checks, to verify the legitimacy of a claimant’s injuries or losses. By documenting activities that contradict the claimed injuries or uncovering inconsistencies in the claimant’s story, our investigators can provide critical information that can be used in court or settlement negotiations. The evidence we collect helps insurance companies protect themselves against paying out unjustified claims, ultimately reducing costs and ensuring that only valid claims are honored.
