An investigation shaped around your questions.
- Clarifying the question surveillance may answer
- Developing a time- and location-specific plan
- Recording relevant observations as permitted by law
- Providing factual updates and documented findings
Surveillance is not a promise of results
Conditions, schedules, weather, access and behavior can all affect what an investigator sees. An initial conversation helps determine whether surveillance is proportionate to the objectives.
Respect legal boundaries
Investigative activities must comply with California privacy and other applicable laws. A private investigator does not have unlimited authority to track, record or enter private spaces.
Good notes make a difference
Useful reporting clearly distinguishes observed conduct, time and location from assumptions. Documentation should be understandable to the client and counsel.
