When you meet someone and say that you are a Private Investigator the most asked question is, ” What would I hire a Private Investigator to do?” This is always an interesting conversation because no one ever knows all of the services that we can offer.
A highlight of these services is as follows:
- Infidelity, Divorce, Cheating Spouse investigations – The State of SC requires these type investigations in contested divorce cases in order to have an independent 3rd party document the events, and testify in court.
- Workers Comp investigations – Companies will hire a Private Investigator to perform surveillance and document our findings on a worker who is allegedly injured on the job. These type cases can also be performed on employees who are habitually sick.
- Child Custody investigations – In these types of situations you must prove that the child is living in an unsafe environment and it is important to provide solid proof of these living conditions.
- Alimony Modifications – If you suspect that your former spouse is cohabiting with someone the State of SC requires that evidence of coexistence for a minimum of 90 consecutive days must be shown.
- Background Checks – We can perform background checks that would be helpful in many situations. Companies require these for pre-employment, or on existing employees. Individuals want them if you are dating someone new, you have a family member that is getting serious with someone and you want them checked out, etc. Attorneys may require these for informational purposes – where is someone from, what do they own, where do they work, etc.
- Asset Searches – Crucial Investigations provides detailed backgrounds and asset searches for individuals and companies.
- Missing Persons – If you have a loved one that is missing, a long lost friend, a birth parent or even a deadbeat Dad we can locate them for you.
- Insurance Fraud Cases – We have experience in all types of these cases which include, but are not limited to: Personal Injury claims, Disability claims, Public liability claims, Contestable death claims, and Workers Comp claims.
- Sexual Harassment Cases – Surveillance is used in addition to other covert methods to document activities and provide testimony if required.
- Asset Protection Cases – These type cases unfortunately usually happen reactively when a company is in the middle of a security crisis instead of proactively. Whatever the need Crucial Investigations can assist with our specialized Stop Loss Program that is created to fit the needs of you and your company.
- Security Consulting – These issues can include, but are not limited to: Employee Theft, Sabotage, Workplace Violence, Data Security and Retrieval.
- Non-Compete Cases – If you have someone that worked for you that signed a non-compete but you suspect that they are working in violation of that agreement we can perform surveillance to gather information, document it and testify if required.
- Church Security – We help churches assess threats and risks and develop an action plan to decrease those risks.
- Attorney Services – Some services offered include Process Service, Witness Locates, Jury Research, Criminal Defense, and General Investigative Services.
As you can see there are a lot of services that Private Investigator can offer and they are not all listed here! The most important thing is to find an experienced, professional private investigator.
