Civil Investigations
Most investigative work performed by a licensed private investigator involves civil investigations. While criminal matters are primarily handled by law enforcement, civil disputes require independent fact-finding, evidence development, and documentation that law enforcement agencies are neither tasked nor equipped to provide. We conduct civil investigations for clients throughout New York, New Jersey, and Florida, as well as nationwide and internationally.
If you are involved in a civil lawsuit, legal dispute, or pre-litigation matter, engaging a professional private investigator is often essential to protecting your interests and strengthening your legal position. Civil cases are decided on evidence—and evidence must be lawfully obtained, properly documented, and defensible in court to be effective.
In matters where no crime has been committed, law enforcement assistance is typically limited or unavailable. Nevertheless, a qualified expert is still required. That expert is a licensed private investigator with the training, experience, and legal knowledge necessary to conduct a thorough investigation and obtain court-admissible evidence that can withstand legal scrutiny.
When you retain The Global Intelligence Bureau for a civil investigation, you gain access to the full scope of our investigative expertise. No two cases are alike, and effective civil investigations require a tailored approach. Our investigators utilize established investigative protocols, advanced research methods, lawful surveillance, interviews, and intelligence analysis designed to meet the specific needs of each matter—whether local, multi-state, or international in scope.
Our investigations are strategic, targeted, and efficient. We focus exclusively on facts that are material to the legal issue at hand, avoiding unnecessary work that wastes time or resources. This disciplined approach allows us to deliver accurate findings, clear documentation, and legally sound evidence relied upon by attorneys, insurers, and courts.
