Surveillance

Surveillance in Orlando and Orange County is used by people who suspect a spouse is cheating, by insurers checking a claim, and by attorneys building a case. It also comes up in disability, unemployment and debt collection matters. We agree on a plan with you, observe in public places only, and report what we see.

Asset searches and bank account searches

If someone in the Orlando area owes you money, an asset search shows what they own: land and second homes, boats, aircraft, vehicles, business interests, and bank accounts. Lawyers, lenders, investors and collectors use these searches before and after a lawsuit. We follow the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act on bank information, and asset reports cannot be used for credit, insurance or employment eligibility.

Background investigations and deep background reports

Orlando clients ask for background investigations on a new hire, a business partner, a caregiver, or someone they are about to trust. Reports can cover criminal and civil records, bankruptcies, liens and judgments, address and property history, corporate affiliations and professional licenses. Our investigators review the results for inconsistencies.

Due diligence

Planning to buy a business or partner with someone in the Orlando area? Due diligence lets you see their litigation history, reputation and financial and legal background first. Our CIA-trained analyst handles the research, and the report goes to you.

Employee and tenant screening

Orlando employers, landlords and families can use our online system to screen employees, tenants and nannies. For a senior hire or a larger rental, ask about a deeper background investigation.

Skip tracing and locate reports

Looking for someone who has moved, or a person your attorney needs to serve in the Orlando area? Locate reports and skip traces cover current whereabouts. Attorneys, lenders, collection agencies and hospitals use them. If a basic search does not work, we can use more advanced research methods.

Corporate and risk management investigations

Suspected fraud, embezzlement or other misconduct inside an Orlando business is a matter for a corporate investigation. We use research, interviews and surveillance where appropriate, and we report what we find.

Bug sweeps (TSCM)

Worried about illegal eavesdropping in the Orlando area? Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) inspections look for listening devices. We offer them one time, on a schedule, or by contract.

International investigations

Orlando businesses with overseas interests use us for international litigation support, international asset searches including bank accounts, pre-investment risk assessment and research.

Jury consulting

For attorneys with a trial in Orlando, we offer live jury consulting during voir dire.

Wellness checks and mystery shopping

Wellness check investigations help you confirm the safety and wellbeing of someone close to you. Orlando businesses can also order mystery shopping for an independent view of their customer experience.
