Two Asset Investigation Options

Financial Profile

Our goal is to present an accurate reporting of key assets and the financial condition of any person or business. We obtain information from our select databases, proprietary sources, public records, subscription data, and other intel. Every report is custom-written by our team to ensure it’s concise, insightful, and has actionable information.

  • Real Estate (current ownership, values)

  • Real Property (vehicles, equipment)

  • Business Ownership

  • Creditor Insight

  • and More

Collection and Recovery

Most of our case assignments will reveal some assets that you can directly seize using methods like Bank Levy or Garnishment or Liens (if you already have a judgment). We can advise you on how to perform these tasks... at no cost to you. You can also use our findings as leverage during settlement negotiations or legal actions.

Select cases may require a more strategic approach to collecting what is due to you. Our Investigators are highly skilled and very successful at recovering assets using a broad range of proven methods. This work can be hourly-based or performed on a retainer. Make sure you are carefully considering which firm you hire for your investigation and above all else choose the best private investigators for you.
