Choose the report for its intended use
Choose the report for its intended use. Investigative background reports support lawful litigation, due diligence and personal matters. They are not a substitute for employment or tenant screening. If the findings will be used to make a hiring or housing decision, tell us before ordering and use our employee and tenant screening process. FCRA and other applicable screening rules depend on the report's use, not simply its name. Findings are delivered in a written report.
Surveillance
Our Miami surveillance work supports attorneys, insurers and individuals. Clients ask for it in false insurance claims and insurance defense, disability claims, divorce and cheating spouse cases, debt collection, compensation in a judgment, unemployment cases, and financial support relationships. Surveillance is lawful when done in public places for a lawful purpose, so we plan the times and locations with you first.
Infidelity, child custody and cohabitation matters
We work for attorneys and businesses, and individuals also hire us for personal matters. See our pages on infidelity investigations, child custody investigations and cohabitation investigations.
Asset searches and bank account searches
Asset searches are among the most requested services at Crossroads. For Miami cases, we trace bank accounts, brokerage accounts, real estate, business ownership, vehicles, boats and yachts, aircraft, and corporate affiliations. They are used for judgment recovery, debt collection, divorce, fraud and partnership disputes, and bankruptcy matters. Asset information may be used only by someone with a legal or beneficial interest, and not for credit, insurance or employment decisions.
Background investigations and deep background reports
For litigation, business due diligence and personal matters in Miami, we research relevant background information. For hiring or housing decisions, use our employee and tenant screening process instead. Our deep background reports cover criminal history, address history, property and mortgage information, vehicles and liens, bankruptcies, judgments, UCC filings, corporate affiliations and professional licenses. We also look at civil litigation, identity discrepancies and business ownership.
Due diligence
For Miami deals, we research a potential partner or a business you are thinking of buying before anything is signed. That means litigation history, reputation, character, and financial, legal and personal background, handled by our CIA-trained analyst. We also support international matters, including pre-merger and investment risk assessment.
Employee and tenant screening
Our online screening system gives Miami employers, property managers and landlords a faster, lower-cost way to vet employees, tenants and nannies. For hiring or housing decisions, use our employee and tenant screening process and tell us the intended use before ordering.
Skip tracing and locate reports
In Miami, locate work is requested by law firms, process servers, banks, finance companies, collection agencies and hospitals. We start from the information you have, even if it is limited, and report the best known address and other contact details we can find. Some locate services are priced on a “no new information, no fee” basis, so ask us when you call.
Corporate and risk management investigations
Miami businesses call us about fraud, employee theft and trust problems among employees, partners and associates. Our corporate investigations look into the person or the situation and tell you what the facts are.
Bug sweeps (TSCM)
Our electronic eavesdropping detection service in Miami checks an office, home or vehicle for illegal listening devices. TSCM sweeps can be a single inspection, a periodic one, or a contract.
International investigations
We support Miami clients with overseas matters: international litigation support, international asset searches including bank accounts, risk assessment before a merger, acquisition or investment, and research. Rates vary by country, so call for pricing.
Jury consulting
Attorneys trying cases in Miami can use our live jury consulting during voir dire.
Wellness checks and mystery shopping
We provide wellness check investigations when you are worried about someone you love, and mystery shopping for Miami businesses that want an unbiased outside report on how customers are treated.

Frequently asked questions
What does a private investigator in Miami do?
A private investigator gathers legally obtained information to help clients make informed decisions. Services include surveillance, background checks, asset searches and locating people. Investigators use databases, fieldwork and intelligence methods.
How do I start?
Call us or send the form. A full name, phone number, email or last known address is enough to begin. The more you can tell us, the better we can scope the work. We set a consultation by appointment, in person at the meeting location, by phone or by video.
Is surveillance legal?
Surveillance is legal when it is done in public places for lawful purposes. We do not trespass, record in private settings or break privacy laws.
Do you hack phones or access private accounts?
No. We use legal methods only.
How much does an investigation cost?
It depends on the service. Surveillance is typically billed hourly, while background checks, asset searches and skip traces are often flat rate. Cost depends on complexity, time and the information available.
How long does it take?
A simple locate can take hours or days. Asset searches and due diligence can take several weeks. Timing depends on the scope and the information available.
Do I pay if you find nothing?
For some services, such as locate reports, the fee applies only if we find new information you did not already have. Ask us which services work this way.
Can you find hidden assets?
We search for assets using legal methods, including public records, business filings and property ownership. Asset searches are used in divorce, lawsuits and collections.
Is it confidential?
Yes. We protect client identity and case details, and we share information only with authorized parties.
Do you serve legal papers?
No. We can refer you to a process serving company we work with.
Do you work on cases in the Miami-Dade courts?
Yes. We locate and interview witnesses, run background and asset searches and gather records for attorneys and parties with matters in Miami-Dade County and the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Findings come in a written report. We meet clients in Miami by appointment at a location that works for them, or by phone or video.
Do you have a staffed office in Miami?
No. We meet clients by appointment at a meeting location, or by phone or video. Your first consultation is free.
Before you contact us
Explain what you need to learn and how you plan to use the findings. Share the names, locations and identifying details you already know, along with any relevant documents and your deadline. If the matter involves litigation, a judgment or a family-law case, explain that context rather than sending only a name.
