Legal Support

If you are an attorney or paralegal and require an investigation in connection with a civil lawsuit or criminal case, our team of experienced operatives is available — even on short notice and in emergencies.

Often, legal counsel uses our services to locate a witness or individuals involved in a civil lawsuit. If needed, we can serve that individual with court, or other documents. We also perform background checks, establishing the existence of hidden assets, past judgments, criminal conduct and less favorable information that might lend itself to the credibility of a subject.

Our investigators will locate a witness and obtain a signed statement. Often, counsel will require our surveillance specialists to follow people involved in a particular case, and to provide real-time physical or cognitive information as to the status of the subject and his or her limitations and abilities. The information established through this kind of investigation sometimes uncovers and exposes the existence of fraud, or reveals patterns of activity that may be useful to counsel when building their case.

At FIC, we work closely with our clients, their management team, legal counsel, adjusters and corporate decision-makers, to provide a diverse list of investigative and consultative services such as:

Surveillance for bodily injuries claims

Due diligence

Financial & background profiling

Undercover operations

Witness interviews
