At Private Eyes, we believe in clear communication and a strategic approach to every investigation. Our process is designed to be transparent, efficient, and focused on delivering the accurate information you need. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we typically work with our clients:

It all starts with a confidential conversation. When you reach out to Private Eyes, you'll speak with one of our experienced investigators. We'll take the time to understand your situation, listen to your concerns, and gather preliminary information. This initial consultation is completely discreet and without obligation. Our goal is to determine the best course of action and how our services can effectively address your needs.

Based on our initial discussion, we'll develop a customized investigation plan specifically tailored to your unique circumstances and objectives. This plan will outline the proposed strategies, methodologies, estimated timelines, and associated costs. We believe in clear and upfront communication about the scope of work and will ensure you fully understand the proposed approach before moving forward.

Our skilled and licensed investigators utilize a range of proven techniques and cutting-edge resources to gather accurate and admissible evidence. This may include discreet surveillance, in-depth background checks, meticulous record analysis, insightful interviews (when appropriate), and the ethical use of technology. All evidence is collected professionally and with the utmost regard for legal and ethical standards.

We understand the importance of staying informed. Throughout the investigation, we maintain clear and consistent communication with you, providing regular updates on our progress and any significant findings. We are always available to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have.

Upon completion of the investigation, we provide you with a comprehensive and detailed report of our findings. This report will present the gathered evidence in a clear, organized, and understandable manner, often including photographic or video documentation where applicable. We will also provide our professional analysis and insights based on the information obtained.

The final report and all collected evidence are delivered to you securely and confidentially. We are also available for follow-up discussions to review the findings, answer any remaining questions, and discuss potential next steps based on the outcome of the investigation.

Every investigator on our team is prior law enforcement, military or has been trained in special operations and have decades of experience. That real-world experience translates into investigations that are thorough, lawful, and court-ready.

From civil and criminal case support for attorneys to corporate due-diligence checks, surveillance, and background investigations for private citizens, we tailor each assignment to your objectives and budget.

Headquartered in North Carolina with strategic partners in multiple states, we can launch or expand an investigation wherever the facts lead.

Your privacy is paramount. We safeguard every detail of your case with strict chain-of-custody protocols and encrypted reporting.

Expect clear, timestamped video, photographic evidence, comprehensive written reports, and expert testimony when required.

I cannot speak highly enough about this company. From the very first point of contact, their professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail were evident. Their team combines years of investigative expertise with a strong background in security, which gave me complete confidence in their ability to handle sensitive matters.

The investigators were thorough, efficient, and always communicated clearly, keeping me updated without ever compromising confidentiality. What impressed me most was their ability to blend advanced technology with old-fashioned investigative skill—delivering results that were both accurate and actionable.

On the security side, their officers were reliable, well-trained, and proactive in preventing potential issues before they could become problems. They carry themselves with authority but also with respect and courtesy, which reflects the high standards of the company as a whole.

Whether you need discreet private investigation services or dependable security solutions, this is the team you can trust. They truly set the gold standard in the industry, and I would recommend them without hesitation.
