Background Check Private Investigator

Background Check Private Investigator

There may come a time when you need to hire a private investigator, and a So- Cal PI can offer you an extensive range of thorough background investigations. But first, what exactly is a background check private investigator, why would you need one, and how can you benefit from our services?

Welcome to Martin Investigative Services, your source for professional and discreet private investigations. With over 50 years of experience and a team of highly skilled former Federal agents from the FBI, DEA, IRS, and Secret Service, you can trust that we have the knowledge and expertise to uncover the truth and provide you with the answers you need.

Background Check Private Investigator

What is a Background Check Private Investigator?

A background checks private investigator checks public and private records on a company or individual at your request, also called a civil background check. They are extremely experienced in the field and can pull information such as past criminal records, civil litigation records, telephone records (which may include location records), financial records, employment records, driving records, property records, and even internet/social networking activities if needs be.

Are there any other background check services you offer?

Absolutely! We also run background checks for defense attorneys and prosecutors nationwide, statewide, and county criminal background checks. We also conduct illegal court searches, asset checks, and even complete criminal record checks. These are typically used when running a background check on new employees, especially those in the healthcare industry where personal information and trust must not be divulged. We also offer extensive litigation background checks, such as civil and criminal litigation. We also provide asset checks if you suspect that assets have been hidden.

Why would I need a Background Check Private Investigator?

There are many reasons you may consider hiring a background check private investigator, but to name a few, here are some examples:

Doing a background check on a person or company

You may want to know more about a person or a company you’re dealing with. For example, suppose you were to hire a nanny to look after your children. In that case, you’d hire a private investigator to conduct a background investigation to ensure your children are safe with this person.

Alternatively, if you’re a business owner considering partnering with someone else, you can hire us to conduct a background check to protect yourself and your business.

Locating someone

If a loved one or employee goes missing, you can use a private investigator to locate someone that’s gone missing. In these instances, complete background checks done by our private investigators will look at areas such as:

  • Telephone records, which will also allow us to track the location
  • Financial records, which would mean monitoring the use of their debit or credit cards to pinpoint a location
  • Employment records. If they were to get a job or recently quit a job, we could find their last known location
  • Driving records can also be checked to help find where they are
  • Property records. We could track them if they were to purchase or rent a property.
  • Internet/social networking activities

Elder financial abuse

Misappropriation of financial resources or abusive use of financial control is another instance where we could conduct a background check. This is often abuse from family members, including children, grandchildren, spouses, housekeepers, and girlfriends. If you feel an elderly family member or even you are a victim of elder financial abuse, we can help find the evidence for fighting your case. In previous cases, we interviewed family members, reviewed legal and financial records, consulted with handwriting experts, and conducted background checks on the suspected individual. Upon conclusion of the documents review, we prepared a summary of the case, witness interviews, and analysis of financial documents. We presented our findings to the appropriate law enforcement agencies for prosecution.

Child Custody

We undertake complete background investigations on unfit parents or caregivers to ensure children are placed into the correct custody. Suppose the subject has a criminal record relevant to caregiving, regardless of whether they are the caregiver or reside with the caregiver. In that case, we can set up surveillance to prove the subject in question is spending time around the child, which can help obtain a protective order.

Civil background checks

These types of lawsuits are a matter between two parties. It can be anything concerning wrongdoing, like a dog bite, a car accident, or money loaned from one party to another. Civil lawsuits benefit from having background checks done to help source evidence for any claim against the other party. As with any criminal and insurance defense cases, we can help to consult with the client and the client’s attorney regarding what investigatory measures need to be in place.

What happens after a background investigation?
