Investigative Services

  • Criminal defense investigations

    Independent fact-finding alongside defense counsel — auditing discovery, surfacing gaps in interviewing and interrogation, flagging Constitutional and due-process concerns, and reviewing police reports for errors, omissions, personal opinions, and untruths.

  • Criminal & civil investigations

    Practical working experience in both legal systems means investigative results calibrated to each forum's threshold of proof — from probable cause through preponderance of the evidence to guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

  • Person, skip-trace & biological-parent searches

    Locating missing or hidden persons using databases not available to the public: lost relatives, friends, classmates, and juvenile runaways; skip tracing for legal or financial avoidance (delinquent loans, repossession, process service, child support); and biological-parent location with arranged initial meetings for adoptees.

  • Employment, online-dating & pre-marital background checks

    Seven-year scope covering criminal history, employment, education, degrees, licenses, driving record, social-security verification, reference checks, and a general credit check.

  • Elder, trustee & nursing-home abuse investigations

    Specialized investigative experience with how elder abuse, estate-trustee abuse, and nursing-home abuse apply to the relevant civil and criminal statutes.

Fees & how it works

SIS charges an hourly rate, a flat rate, or a combination of the two — determined case by case so each engagement gets the fairest price and the most efficient path forward.

An advance fee is collected before investigations begin. If any portion of the advance fee goes unused, the unused amount is refunded to the client.

SIS offers competitive rates. Take the first step and contact SIS for a zero-commitment initial consultation — an opportunity to share more about your case and the outcome you're looking for. You are under no obligation to continue past the initial consultation unless further steps are taken and a contract is signed.

All major credit cards, Venmo, and PayPal are accepted. See payment options ↓
