Attorneys often need factual information that cannot be developed through pleadings, discovery materials, databases, or client statements alone. A witness may be difficult to locate. A party’s activity may require independent documentation. A business relationship may require additional research, or a scene may need to be documented before conditions change.

Mayn Investigations FL provides attorney investigative services throughout Florida for law firms, solo practitioners, corporate counsel, commercial litigators, family-law attorneys, claims professionals, and other authorized legal professionals.

Investigative assignments may include surveillance, witness locates, witness interviews, public-record research, background investigations, scene investigations, activity documentation, business research, digital investigations, evidence documentation, and other lawful investigative services.

The objective is factual development. Investigators locate, observe, research, document, and organize information so attorneys can evaluate the findings within the broader legal matter. Mayn Investigations FL does not provide legal advice or determine liability, admissibility, credibility, damages, or the outcome of a case.

Mayn Investigations FL is licensed, bonded, and insured in Florida under Agency License #A3400126. Our investigators are Florida-licensed professionals who undergo background checks and proprietary training, with field investigators having military or law-enforcement backgrounds.

Attorney Investigative Services in Florida

Attorney investigative services can support legal teams when a specific factual question requires independent investigation.

Depending on the matter, attorneys may need assistance with:

• Witness locates
• Witness interviews
• Surveillance
• Activity and lifestyle investigations
• Public-record research
• Background investigations
• Scene investigations
• Scene photography
• Measurements and evidence documentation
• Difficult-to-locate parties
• Business and corporate research
• Asset-related research
• Digital investigations
• Employment research
• Investigative documentation
• Trial and hearing preparation

The appropriate investigative approach depends on the nature of the case, the factual question, available information, timing, and investigative objective.

The focus remains on developing relevant information rather than conducting investigation without a defined purpose.

Investigative Support for Attorneys

A legal team may already have substantial information but still need independent factual development.

An attorney may need to determine:

• Where a witness is currently located
• Whether a witness can be contacted
• What a party is doing in public
• Whether reported activity can be independently documented
• What business relationships may exist
• Whether a person or entity has identifiable public records
• What conditions existed at a particular location
• Whether additional factual information should be developed before litigation
• Whether further investigative work may assist case preparation

Mayn Investigations FL can structure investigative work around the specific question counsel needs addressed.

Pre-Litigation Investigative Services

Investigative work can begin before a lawsuit is filed.

Pre-litigation assignments may include:

• Witness development
• Background investigations
• Public-record research
• Business due diligence
• Surveillance
• Asset-related research
• Scene investigations
• Difficult-party locates
• Employment research
• Digital investigations
• Activity documentation

Early investigative work may help counsel identify additional facts, locate relevant individuals, understand available information, or determine whether additional investigation is warranted.

Investigative findings do not replace legal research, discovery, expert analysis, or other professional legal services.

Litigation Investigative Support

During active litigation, attorneys may require additional fieldwork or research as the case develops.

Investigative support may involve:

• Witness locates
• Witness interviews
• Surveillance
• Public-record investigations
• Background research
• Business research
• Scene documentation
• Activity investigations
• Digital research
• Evidence documentation
• Chronological reporting

The investigative scope can be adjusted as new information becomes available.

Attorney Surveillance Services

Surveillance can provide independent documentation of observable activity when counsel needs factual information beyond statements or existing records.

Depending on the assignment, surveillance may document:

• Physical activity
• Employment activity
• Business activity
• Travel
• Vehicle use
• Recreational activity
• Public activity
• Movement between locations
• Residential activity
• Other observable conduct relevant to the investigative objective

Surveillance may support business disputes, family law, business litigation, and other matters.

The investigator documents what is observed. Surveillance does not independently determine fraud, disability, medical capability, credibility, legal liability, or another legal conclusion.

For focused surveillance matters, attorneys may also consider Activity & Lifestyle Surveillance and Surveillance Investigations.

Witness Locates & Witness Development

A witness may become difficult to locate because of relocation, changes in employment, outdated contact information, or limited public information.

Investigative research may examine:

• Current or historical addresses
• Property information
• Business affiliations
• Employment-related information
• Public records
• Professional information
• Available contact information
• Other legally accessible sources

When appropriate, witness-location work may be followed by an interview or statement assignment.

Locating a witness does not guarantee cooperation, availability, or testimony.

Witness Interviews & Statements

Attorneys may require independent contact with a witness to develop additional factual information.

Depending on the assignment, investigators may assist with:

• Witness contact
• Interviews
• Interview summaries
• Recorded statements when appropriate
• Identification of additional witnesses
• Development of investigative leads
• Documentation of information provided

The investigator documents information obtained during the assignment. Counsel evaluates its relevance, reliability, and legal significance.

Witness participation cannot be guaranteed.

Public Records Investigations for Attorneys

Public records can provide useful information when counsel needs to verify or expand information already available.

Depending on the assignment, research may involve:

• Court records
• Property records
• Corporate records
• Business registrations
• Public filings
• Professional information
• Litigation history
• Address information
• Ownership information
• Other legally accessible records

Public-record research may support litigation preparation, background investigations, business disputes, family-law matters, insurance investigations, and other authorized assignments.

Background Investigations

Attorneys may require additional information about a person or entity involved in a legal matter.

Background research may examine:

• Identity information
• Address history
• Employment information
• Business affiliations
• Property records
• Litigation history
• Corporate records
• Professional information
• Public filings
• Other relevant public information

The scope should be based on the investigative objective rather than collecting unnecessary personal information.

Scene Investigations & Documentation

Physical conditions may change before litigation reaches a hearing or trial.

A scene investigation can document:

• Property conditions
• Entrances and exits
• Lighting
• Visibility
• Access points
• Physical surroundings
• Relevant distances
• Nearby businesses
• Potential witnesses
• Potential surveillance-camera sources
• Photographs
• Measurements

Timely documentation may provide counsel with an investigative record of conditions that could later change through construction, repairs, maintenance, weather, business operations, or other circumstances.

Related services may include Scene Photography & Documentation and Measurements & Evidence Documentation.

Digital Investigative Services for Attorneys

Publicly accessible online information may provide additional investigative leads.

Digital investigative research may include:

• Public social-media information
• Professional profiles
• Business websites
• Public business listings
• Online publications
• Corporate information
• Public statements
• Publicly displayed activity
• Online business relationships

Investigators should not access private accounts, passwords, private messages, or restricted systems without appropriate authorization.

When a matter requires broader online research, Digital Investigations can provide additional investigative support.

• Child custody
• Divorce
• Infidelity
• Cohabitation
• Support modification
• Lifestyle activity
• Employment or business activity
• Difficult-to-locate parties
• Witness development
• Public-record research

Surveillance and other investigative services can provide documented factual information for attorney review.

Investigators do not determine custody, support obligations, marital misconduct, credibility, or other legal issues.

Business & Corporate Investigations for Attorneys

Commercial matters can involve factual questions that extend beyond corporate records.

Investigative support may include:

• Corporate research
• Business due diligence
• Employee investigations
• Vendor investigations
• Business-affiliation research
• Asset-related research
• Trade-secret investigations
• Non-compete investigations
• Intellectual-property investigations
• Corporate surveillance
• Witness development

The objective is to develop factual information relevant to the business or legal question.

For broader commercial matters, Business Litigation Investigations may provide additional support.

Investigative Support for Discovery & Case Preparation

Investigative services can supplement counsel’s work during case preparation.

Depending on the matter, investigative support may assist with:

Case Evaluation

Developing initial factual information and identifying questions that require further investigation.

Discovery Preparation

Locating witnesses, researching individuals or entities, and developing additional factual leads.

Deposition Preparation

Providing factual information concerning witnesses, parties, businesses, activities, or other relevant circumstances.

Settlement Preparation

Developing additional information that counsel may consider during settlement discussions.

Trial Preparation

Conducting surveillance, witness development, scene documentation, public-record research, and other investigative work before trial.

Hearing Preparation

Addressing focused factual questions before a scheduled hearing or proceeding.

The investigative approach should correspond to the needs and timing of the case.

• Surveillance video
• Photographs
• Activity logs

Not every assignment requires every investigative method.

A witness locate may require primarily research. A surveillance assignment may require field observation and video documentation. A scene investigation may require photographs, measurements, and detailed notes.

The objective remains the same: develop relevant factual information and organize it for authorized review.

Before & After Investigative Support

Counsel may have:

• Unanswered factual questions
• Difficult-to-locate witnesses

Yes. Depending on the assignment, investigators may assist with child custody surveillance, infidelity investigations, cohabitation investigations, difficult-party locates, lifestyle investigations, witness development, and public-record research.

How much do attorney investigative services cost?

Cost can depend on the type of investigation, research requirements, surveillance hours, number of individuals or locations, travel, interviews, urgency, and documentation requirements. A confidential consultation can help establish the investigative objective and appropriate scope.
