Litigation Support for Attorneys | Licensed Private Investigator Atlanta, Georgia

Investigative Services Available to Georgia Attorneys

Surveillance and activity documentation covers covert mobile and stationary surveillance, GPS vehicle tracking where legally applicable, and multi-investigator deployment for complex or counter-surveillance-aware subjects. Surveillance evidence is produced as timestamped video, photographic documentation, and GPS location records formatted for use as court exhibits. Investigators who conduct surveillance are available for deposition and testimony in any proceeding where the evidence is introduced. Surveillance operations are scheduled around the attorney's litigation timeline and adjusted to align with relevant hearing and filing deadlines.

Witness location and background investigation services identify and locate parties, witnesses, and subjects relevant to civil and family law proceedings — drawing on Georgia public records, GCIC-accessible criminal history, UCC filings, deed records, Georgia Secretary of State business records, and federal court databases. Background investigation reports are delivered in formats appropriate for deposition preparation, cross-examination planning, and exhibit submission. Asset location investigation identifies real property, financial accounts, business interests, and vehicles for use in divorce proceedings, civil judgments, and debt enforcement actions across Georgia.

Process service for evasive subjects combines skip tracing — locating the subject through records research and field investigation — with professional service of process once the subject's location is confirmed. Service attempts are documented and affidavits of service are prepared in formats meeting Georgia court requirements. For subjects who have actively evaded service, the investigation establishes the subject's current address before the service attempt, reducing failed attempts and delays to the attorney's case timeline.

Digital forensics investigation recovers deleted data, communications history, location records, and account activity from smartphones, computers, and cloud accounts where legal access exists — device ownership or written consent is confirmed before any forensic examination commences. Findings are documented under chain of custody protocol with a forensic report formatted for exhibit use. The forensic investigator is available for deposition on methodology and findings. TSCM electronic surveillance detection is available for corporate clients represented by counsel where a compromised communications environment is suspected. Full detail on digital forensics methods and scope is on the digital forensics investigation page.

Litigation Support for Georgia Family Law Attorneys

Family law matters — divorce, child custody modification, alimony disputes, and protective order proceedings — generate the largest volume of PI referrals from Georgia attorneys. The evidentiary connections are direct. Surveillance evidence of a spouse's activities is relevant to fault-ground divorce claims under O.C.G.A. § 19-5-3 and alimony determinations under O.C.G.A. § 19-6-1. Child custody investigation evidence addresses the statutory factors under O.C.G.A. § 19-9-3 that Georgia courts weigh in initial custody determinations and modification hearings. This firm takes direction from the attorney on evidence priorities, report formats, and delivery timelines from the outset.

For family law matters, the attorney's direction shapes the investigation scope, the evidence formats required, and the timeline. Where attorney work product privilege considerations apply to investigation conducted under counsel's direction, those questions are addressed with the attorney at engagement. The investigators who gather the evidence are available to testify: regarding investigation methodology, chain of custody documentation, and the factual basis for the findings — for deposition and, where needed, at trial.

Background investigation for family law matters addresses parties, new partners, and household members whose history is relevant to custody determinations, alimony disputes, or protective order proceedings. Criminal history, civil judgment searches, sex offender registry checks, and Georgia public records searches are available as components of a background investigation report tailored to the attorney's specific informational needs for the case.

Litigation Support for Georgia Civil Litigation Attorneys

Civil litigation support encompasses surveillance for workers compensation fraud defense, personal injury defense, and insurance defense matters — producing video and photographic documentation of the claimant's physical activities relative to the claimed disability or injury. Evidence packages are delivered to defense counsel in formats suitable for use in depositions, hearings, and trial. The investigator who conducted the surveillance is available to testify regarding methodology and findings. Surveillance timelines are coordinated with the attorney's case schedule and adjusted based on the litigation calendar.

Witness location and background investigation for civil litigation identifies evasive witnesses, locates parties who have moved or become unresponsive, and produces background reports on adverse parties, expert witnesses, and third-party witnesses whose credibility is relevant to the case. Business entity investigation — ownership structures, registered agent history, dissolution records, and affiliated entities — is available for cases involving corporate parties whose organizational history is relevant to liability or damages. Asset investigation identifies real property, vehicles, financial accounts, and business interests for enforcement of judgments and assessment of collectability.

For insurance defense and workers compensation matters, this firm works directly with the defense attorney and, where appropriate, with the client's claims representative to coordinate the investigation scope, timeline, and evidence delivery. GPBO licensing and chain of custody documentation are maintained at standards that support admissibility over an authenticity objection in Georgia proceedings. The investigator is available for deposition by opposing counsel and for testimony at trial or hearing where the evidence is introduced.

How Georgia Attorneys Work With This Firm

The engagement begins with the attorney's inquiry through the contact form on this page or by phone for urgent matters. The form includes fields for the attorney's Georgia bar number, firm name, case type, and a brief case description — this lets the investigation scope be assessed and the response directed to the right person without unnecessary back-and-forth. Attorney inquiries receive a response within one business day. Urgent matters — process service for time-sensitive filings, surveillance aligned to an imminent hearing date — are handled by phone for same-day discussion.

Following the initial inquiry, the investigator and attorney discuss the case, identify the evidence priorities, agree on the investigation scope and timeline, and establish the reporting format and delivery method required for the specific proceeding. The investigation agreement and retainer — $1,500 to $2,000 applied against hourly billing at $100 to $150 per hour — are executed before any work commences. Nothing starts before the scope, timeline, and cost are confirmed in writing.

Throughout the investigation, the attorney receives updates at agreed intervals and is notified immediately of any development material to the case strategy. The final evidence package — timestamped video, activity reports, photographic exhibits, GPS records, background reports, and narrative summary — is delivered in the format the attorney specifies. The investigator is available for deposition preparation sessions before any scheduled deposition or trial testimony. All case communications go exclusively to the retained attorney of record unless the attorney directs otherwise. Nothing is disclosed to any other party without counsel's authorization.
