Start with the part of the case that is keeping you up at night. Each page is organized around one core question so the guidance stays clear and relevant.

Court Order Investigations

We help document violations, build the factual record for new filings, and organize the evidence courts need when restraining orders, protection orders, or no-contact orders are at issue.

Explore by Service Type

Surveillance, locate work, witness interviews, research, and Legal Support solve different problems. This is where those differences become easier to understand.

Location Services

When the case cannot move forward without a current address, work link, or residence answer, location work helps narrow the uncertainty.

Surveillance Services

Used carefully, surveillance can document routines, exchanges, and real-world behavior instead of leaving everyone stuck with competing stories.

Support for mothers worried about child safety, household stability, parenting-plan problems, or the stress of proving what has really been happening.

Serving Washington

When a case starts to feel bigger than one hearing, one county, or one urgent question, it helps to see the broader Washington picture clearly. If the pressure is rooted in Tacoma or Pierce County, local guidance is close by too.

Current operating coverage in Washington

When the case reaches beyond one city.

Washington law, county logistics, travel, deadlines, and cost can all shape the plan. The active operating base is in Tacoma, and when the facts are especially local to Tacoma or Pierce County, that local guidance can bring the picture in closer.

Current primary counties: Island, King, Kitsap, Mason, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, and Thurston.

Common Questions

What kinds of family-law cases do you handle?

We support divorce and affair investigations, child custody and parenting plan disputes, relocation cases, financial support and hidden asset concerns, court order violation documentation, and related family-law evidence needs across Washington.

How quickly can you start working on my case?

Standard intake and planning typically takes 48 hours from consultation. Urgent matters involving safety, upcoming hearings, or time-sensitive evidence can be expedited with priority planning.

Do I need an attorney before hiring a private investigator?

No. You can hire directly as an individual client. However, if your case involves active litigation, we recommend attorney coordination to ensure evidence collection aligns with your legal strategy and admissibility requirements.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Tacoma and cover Island, King, Kitsap, Mason, Pierce, Skagit, Snohomish, and Thurston counties. Cases involving locations outside these counties can be discussed during consultation.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The initial 30-minute consultation is free and confidential. No paid work begins until the scope, plan, and pricing are confirmed in writing.
