A civil investigation typically begins with analysis. A private investigator will meet with the person initiating the investigation in order to discuss the goals and budget of the investigation. The investigator will then conduct their investigation utilising a variety of investigative techniques to gather relevant evidence. Depending on the individual investigation, they may use surveillance, background checks, forensic investigation, asset searches, witness examination, and other methods. The investigator will then discuss their findings with the client and, if needed, create an official report or act as an expert witness.

What kind evidence does a civil investigator look for?

• Financial documents (checks, bank statements, etc.)
• Computer and cell phone activity (emails, texts, GPS, etc.)
• Statements from friends, family, and colleagues
