Top 5 Signs You Need a Private Investigator

We all know life is messy, and sometimes we end up in a mess that we need help to get out of. If you need help finding the truth, or gathering some essential information, a private investigator can help. Here are five signs a private investigator can help with your mess.

1. Developing your legal case and gathering evidence

Your lawyer is the expert in the law. The other critical part of your team is an experienced investigator who can help identify witnesses, and get those people to share the critical information they know. The right investigator supports your case and strengthens your legal position. Stack your side of the scales of justice in your favor.

2. Your business is vulnerable to fraud

Being able to spot the fraud and embezzlement in your firm early is critical to the long-term success of your business. A private investigator, especially those with accounting skills, can help to protect your assets, prevent data breaches, and simplify your compliance work. The end result is the safety of your money and your reputation.

3. Making complex family law cases a little bit easier

Even the most well-meaning family separation can quickly devolve with disputes about child custody and safety. A private investigator gathers evidence and can run comprehensive background checks on your ex’s new partner, or document they are actually working, despite their claims otherwise. Crucial information like that can build your case for the support you and your family deserve. A private investigator can also help with process service on difficult to find, and even dangerous, parties.

4. Finding missing people

Some people want to find a buddy from the Marines. Some people need help finding a missing loved one. Whatever the reason, a good private investigator has the experience and resources to help track people down. An ethical investigator won’t share a person’s contact information without consent, so please don’t try to use an investigator to backdoor a protection order, or otherwise find people who are actively hiding from you for their safety.

5. The police can’t or won’t help you

In a lot of cities, Seattle for sure, you can’t always count on the local police to prioritize your investigation. You might even have trouble getting them to show up and take some basic information. Until society gets that mess fixed, a private investigator may be able to help you find justice.
