Investigative Support for Sarasota and Manatee County Attorneys
Sarasota, Manatee and DeSoto Counties make up Florida’s Twelfth Judicial Circuit. Sarasota County matters are heard at court facilities in Sarasota and Venice, and Manatee County matters at the Manatee County Judicial Center in Bradenton. Appeals from the Twelfth Circuit go to the Second District Court of Appeal, and federal cases are filed in the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division.
Sarasota and Bradenton counsel bring us estate, trust and guardianship disputes, builder and HOA conflicts in new communities, business partner and vendor disagreements, collection matters, and family law cases where residence, cohabitation or income is contested. Typical tasks include heir and witness locates, property and corporate records research, asset research before or after judgment, open-source review and lawful surveillance documented for counsel.
Matters we often support
- Locating heirs and relatives in probate, trust and guardianship matters
- Property-transfer and entity research when a relative’s finances are in question
- Builder, contractor and HOA disputes
- Asset research before filing or to support collection
- Cohabitation and alimony-modification questions in family law cases
How we work with counsel
Every assignment starts with a scoping call so the work fits the case and the budget. We report what the records and observations support, flag what still needs discovery or subpoena, and leave decisions about how findings are used to the attorney. We do not pretext for financial records, access private accounts or record conversations without consent.
Our office is in Orlando, and we take assignments here statewide under our Florida agency license, coordinating travel and field work around the deadlines in your case. Learn more: locating hard-to-find parties, asset searches and investigative services for attorneys.
