As a records investigator, I search for documents that help prove your case or reveal true and correct information.
These include court filings, property deeds, business filings, and marriage records.
To search for records, I use proprietary database information available to me as a licensed private investigator; combined with public sources, personal inquiries, field investigations, and other investigative methods to locate both public and private records.
Note, protected records such as police reports or medical files require a signed release from the person in question. So for private records about someone besides your client, you’ll have to get a court order for them. What I can do is help determine whether interesting private records exist, where they’re located, and who to subpoena for them.
