Surveillance

When you need to know what someone is doing, and a written record of it, we conduct surveillance in Nashville and Davidson County. Clients ask for it in insurance defense and disability claims, divorce and suspected infidelity matters, unemployment claims, and cases where money is owed after a judgment. We work in public places only, and you receive a written report.

Asset searches and bank account searches

Winning a judgment does not mean you are paid. Our asset searches in Nashville look for bank accounts, brokerage and investment accounts, real estate, business interests, vehicles, boats, aircraft and other property tied to a person or company. Attorneys, investors, debt collectors and finance companies hire us for this. Bank searches use methods consistent with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and do not involve pretexting the bank or the customer.

Background investigations and deep background reports

A background investigation checks a person or company in Nashville before you hire, rent, partner or sign. Deep background reports can include criminal history, address history, properties, vehicles, bankruptcies, liens, judgments, UCC filings, corporate affiliations, professional licenses, driver’s license information and voter registration. A human reviews the findings, not just a database.

Due diligence

Before a transaction in Nashville, we research the other side. Our CIA-trained analyst looks into litigation history, reviews, character and history, and gathers financial, legal and personal information about a potential business partner or a company you plan to buy.

Employee and tenant screening

Employers and landlords in Nashville use our online screening system to vet job candidates, prospective tenants and nannies. It is a lower-cost option than a full investigation.

Skip tracing and locate reports

A skip trace finds where a person is now. Law firms and process servers use it to find someone who must appear in court. Banks, finance companies and collection agencies use it to find people who have moved and owe them money. Hospitals use it to reach family members. Our Nashville locate work starts with whatever you know: a name, a phone number, an email or a last address.

Corporate and risk management investigations

When something is wrong inside your Nashville business, such as suspected fraud, employee theft or a partner you no longer trust, a corporate investigation finds out what happened. We investigate quietly and report to you.

Bug sweeps (TSCM)

If you think someone is listening in Nashville, our electronic eavesdropping detection service inspects for illegal listening devices. Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) sweeps are offered once, periodically, or under contract.

International investigations

If your Nashville business has interests overseas, we support international litigation, international asset searches including bank accounts, pre-merger and investment risk assessment, and international research.

Jury consulting

Attorneys in Nashville can use our live jury consulting during voir dire to help with jury selection.

Wellness checks and mystery shopping

Our background investigations include wellness checks to put your mind at ease about a loved one. For Nashville businesses, we also offer mystery shopping, an unbiased third-party report on how your business is perceived.

Frequently asked questions

What does a private investigator in Nashville 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.

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.

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.

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.
