Key Services

Insurance Investigations

We work with carriers, adjusters, and SIU teams to investigate claims thoroughly, delivering evidence packages built to hold up under legal scrutiny.

‎ 

Surveillance

Whether it's a personal or business matter, our surveillance captures clear, documented evidence you can take to court or act on with confidence.

‎ 

Skip Tracing & Locating

When someone disappears from the picture, we find them. Debtors, witnesses, missing persons. Advanced tools, experienced investigators, real results.

‎ 

From Consultation To Case Closed

Every case starts with a free, confidential consultation where we define your objectives and outline what the investigation will involve. From there, we build a focused plan and get to work. Surveillance, research, interviews, and evidence collection are all handled personally and within full compliance with Missouri law. You get regular updates throughout, and when the work is done, we deliver a detailed, court-ready report with supporting documentation and media so you can move forward with facts, not guesses.
