Background / Pre-Employment Investigations

Background and pre-employment investigations are designed to reduce the risk associated with hiring decisions by independently verifying a candidate’s identity, qualifications, employment history, and professional background. Because resumes, applications, and references are often self-reported, these investigations provide an additional layer of due diligence by examining whether the information presented by an applicant is complete, accurate, and consistent with documented records.

Each investigation is conducted based on the nature of the position, including the level of responsibility, access to sensitive information, financial authority, and operational control associated with the role. Screening procedures may include identity verification, confirmation of previous employment and positions held, validation of educational credentials and certifications, review of professional licenses, and examination of publicly available records that may indicate prior legal, financial, or reputational concerns where legally permissible.

A central focus of the investigative process is identifying discrepancies or omissions that may indicate misrepresentation. This may involve reviewing employment timelines for unexplained gaps, verifying the applicant’s claimed job titles and responsibilities, confirming the legitimacy of listed educational institutions, and identifying prior civil litigation, regulatory actions, or other relevant records that may not have been disclosed during the hiring process. When documentation alone does not provide sufficient clarity, additional inquiries may be conducted to verify information independently.

Background investigations may also include broader contextual research, such as identifying professional affiliations, business ownership interests, or public activities that could present conflicts of interest or reputational risk for an organization. The purpose of this review is not to collect excessive personal information, but rather to establish a reliable understanding of the individual’s professional history and public record.

All findings are compiled into structured reports that clearly distinguish verified information, identified discrepancies, and areas where records could not be conclusively confirmed. This allows decision-makers to evaluate candidates based on documented facts rather than assumptions or incomplete information.

The objective of a background or pre-employment investigation is to provide a clear and defensible picture of an applicant’s professional history and credibility. By verifying key representations and identifying potential risks before a hiring decision is finalized, organizations are better equipped to make informed decisions and protect operational, financial, and reputational interests.

Fraud and scam investigations focus on identifying, documenting, and analyzing deceptive activities that result in financial loss, false claims, or misrepresentation. These investigations examine financial records, transactions, communications, and behavioral patterns to determine whether fraudulent conduct has occurred and to establish a clear factual understanding of the activity involved.

Corporate Fraud Investigations

Corporate fraud investigations address internal or organizational misconduct that may affect a company’s financial stability, operations, or reputation. Investigations may involve examining financial records, business transactions, expense reports, vendor relationships, and internal documentation to identify irregularities or deceptive practices. Commonly reviewed matters include embezzlement, misappropriation of company assets, manipulation of financial records, and other forms of internal fraud. The objective is to identify how the activity occurred, determine the extent of the financial impact, and document the findings through verifiable evidence.

Insurance & Workers’ Compensation Claims Investigations

Insurance and workers’ compensation investigations focus on identifying fraudulent or exaggerated claims that may result in improper payouts or financial loss. Investigations may include reviewing claim documentation, medical records where legally accessible, employment activity, and claimant behavior to determine whether reported injuries or losses are consistent with observed activity. Surveillance, activity verification, and documentation review are often used to identify discrepancies, staged incidents, or misrepresented injuries. Findings are documented to support claim evaluation and decision-making.

Consumer Fraud Investigations

Consumer fraud investigations address situations in which individuals or businesses have been targeted through deceptive financial schemes or fraudulent transactions. These investigations may involve reviewing financial activity, transaction records, communications, and related documentation to identify how the fraud occurred and who may be responsible. Common matters reviewed include fraudulent purchases, identity theft, deceptive financial solicitations, and unauthorized account activity. The investigation focuses on tracing the activity and identifying relevant evidence connected to the incident.

Infidelity / domestic

Infidelity investigations are conducted to determine whether a partner’s activities and interactions are consistent with their representations or whether undisclosed relationships or deceptive behavior may be occurring. When suspicion arises, uncertainty can create significant emotional strain and unanswered questions. A structured investigation provides clarity by documenting behavior, interactions, and relevant activity through objective observation and verified information rather than speculation.

Surveillance

Surveillance is the primary method used in infidelity investigations to document an individual’s activities and interactions in real-world settings. Investigators conduct discreet observation to monitor movements, locations visited, and individuals with whom the subject may be associating. The purpose of surveillance is to establish patterns of behavior and determine whether the subject is meeting privately with other individuals in circumstances that may indicate a concealed relationship. Professional surveillance techniques are used to maintain discretion while documenting relevant activity. This may include photographic or video documentation, time-stamped observations, and detailed activity logs that record locations, movements, and interactions. These observations provide a clear record of behavior and activity patterns throughout the investigation.

Online & Social Media Activity Review

Modern relationships often involve significant digital communication through mobile applications and social media platforms. Investigations may include reviewing and documenting publicly accessible online activity associated with the subject, such as social media accounts, online interactions, and digital communication patterns. This process may involve identifying undisclosed social profiles, examining visible interactions with other individuals, reviewing publicly shared photos or posts, and documenting patterns of communication or activity that may suggest undisclosed relationships. Investigators may also analyze publicly visible activity across messaging applications or social platforms when such information is accessible through lawful investigative methods.

Surveillance Investigations

Surveillance is the disciplined observation and documentation of real-world behavior to establish factual clarity. It is used when statements, claims, or representations must be tested against actual conduct. Effective surveillance requires patience, discretion, and accuracy, as even a single verified observation can materially impact a legal, financial, or personal outcome.

Surveillance services are conducted in compliance with applicable laws and privacy standards and are tailored to the nature of the matter under review. Activities may include documenting movements, interactions, physical capabilities, work activity, and patterns of behavior over time. Observations are recorded through detailed notes and time-stamped imagery when appropriate, ensuring reliability and consistency.

Surveillance is commonly utilized in corporate matters to address employee misconduct, internal theft, policy violations, or suspected fraud. In insurance-related cases, surveillance may be used to evaluate the legitimacy of claims by documenting activities that contradict reported injuries or limitations. In domestic and family law matters, including child custody disputes, surveillance can help establish whether a custodial environment presents concerns related to neglect, unsafe behavior, or violations of court orders.

Workers’ compensation surveillance assesses the integrity of claims by observing claimants’ activities and verifying whether reported restrictions align with actual behavior. Findings may support claim determinations, internal reviews, or legal consultation.

All findings are documented in clear, organized reports that distinguish observed facts from interpretation. Reports are structured to support decision-making by attorneys, insurers, employers, or individuals and may be suitable for legal or administrative review depending on the matter.

The purpose of surveillance is not intrusion, but verification. By replacing assumptions with observable facts, surveillance provides clarity, accountability, and the information necessary to take informed, appropriate action.

Child custody investigations

Investigations are conducted to evaluate the safety, well-being, and treatment of a child in the care of a parent or legal guardian, particularly during divorce, separation, or custody disputes. The purpose of the investigation is to uncover objective facts about the child’s living conditions, environment, and the quality of care provided by each parent.

Investigators discreetly observe and document the child’s home environment, the behavior and supervision provided by the parent, and any potential signs of neglect, abuse, or unsafe conditions. The investigation may include photographs and video recordings of parent-child interactions, as well as interviews with neighbors, relatives, and other witnesses who may provide insight into the child’s daily life and the parent’s conduct. Comprehensive background checks are also conducted on the individuals involved to identify any relevant history that could affect the child’s safety.

During the process, investigators remain alert for risk factors such as substance abuse, illegal activities, neglect, or unsafe living conditions.

Cybersecurity investigations

Cyber and digital investigations focus on identifying, preserving, and analyzing electronic information to determine what occurred within digital environments. As modern communication, transactions, and personal activity increasingly take place online, many disputes and incidents leave behind electronic records that can be examined to establish a factual timeline and clarify digital behavior.

These investigations involve the structured review of digital records, including emails, electronic documents, system logs, account histories, metadata, and other stored data. By analyzing these records, investigators can reconstruct sequences of events, identify patterns of activity, determine whether information was accessed or altered, and evaluate whether unauthorized actions may have occurred within a system or digital account.

Digital forensic techniques may also be used to recover deleted or hidden data from computers, mobile devices, and other electronic storage media. Even when information has been removed or partially erased, remnants of files, metadata, or system artifacts can often provide insight into prior activity and the handling of digital information. This process allows investigators to determine when files were created, accessed, transferred, or deleted.

Cyber investigations may also examine online activity and digital footprints to identify account usage patterns, suspicious communications, or indicators of fraud, impersonation, or unauthorized system access. In some cases, investigators may review digital financial activity, including online payment platforms or cryptocurrency transactions such as Bitcoin, where publicly recorded blockchain data can provide insight into transaction movement and digital asset transfers.

All digital evidence is handled through controlled collection and documentation procedures to preserve data integrity and maintain an accurate chain of custody. Findings are organized into structured reports that distinguish verified digital activity from unresolved issues and present information in a clear, factual format.

The goal of cyber and digital investigations is to convert complex electronic data into organized, verifiable findings, providing clarity in situations where critical information is present. supporting litigation, and protecting individuals or organizations from digital threats and misconduct.
