From Background Checks to Surveillance: The Many Services a PI Can Offer

When most people think of private investigators, they picture someone in a car with a camera, snapping photos from a distance. While surveillance is a big part of the job, the world of private investigation is far more complex and wide-ranging. From uncovering infidelity to finding missing persons and supporting attorneys with hard-to-get evidence, private investigators do much more than many realize.

At Kinsey Investigations, we understand that every case is unique – and often deeply personal. Whether it’s a family matter, a legal dispute, or a business concern, our team of licensed professionals provides a discreet and compassionate approach to uncovering the truth. Based in Los Angeles, our woman-owned private detective agency has earned a reputation for excellence, empathy, and results across a wide variety of investigative services.

For many clients, hiring a private investigator can feel like a last resort. But the truth is, working with a professional can save time, prevent costly mistakes, and provide peace of mind when it matters most. Let’s take a closer look at the many services a skilled PI can offer, and how Kinsey Investigations can help you get the clarity you deserve.

1. Infidelity Investigations

When doubts about a partner’s faithfulness arise, emotions run high. Kinsey Investigations offers discreet and compassionate infidelity investigations designed to uncover the truth without unnecessary confrontation or risk. Our experienced team uses legal and ethical surveillance methods, digital analysis, and pattern monitoring to provide clients with clear, factual information. Whether suspicions are confirmed or laid to rest, having the truth allows clients to move forward with confidence.

2. Child Custody and Family Law Support

Custody disputes can be some of the most emotionally charged cases a family can face. Private investigators can provide critical documentation and evidence to support custody or visitation claims—such as proof of neglect, substance abuse, or violations of court orders. Kinsey Investigations works closely with parents, guardians, and attorneys to ensure that the child’s best interests remain the top priority. Our compassionate, family-focused approach helps clients gather the information needed while minimizing additional stress.

3. Missing Persons and Locates

Finding a missing loved one can be one of the most heart-wrenching challenges anyone will face. Whether someone has disappeared intentionally, lost touch over time, or simply can’t be found through traditional means, a PI can help. Kinsey Investigations uses a combination of public records research, online databases, and fieldwork to track down missing persons—even in cases that have gone cold. We also assist with locating birth parents, long-lost relatives, and individuals for legal or financial matters.

4. Background Checks and Due Diligence

Background investigations aren’t just for employers. They’re a valuable resource for anyone entering a personal or professional relationship. Whether you’re considering a new business partner, hiring a caregiver, or starting a new romance, a comprehensive background check can reveal important details – criminal records, financial history, or identity inconsistencies – that help protect you. Kinsey Investigations conducts thorough, accurate background checks tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you have the information necessary to make informed decisions.

5. Surveillance and Asset Investigations

Surveillance is one of the most effective tools in a private investigator’s toolkit. From tracking a spouse’s activities to monitoring employee behavior or confirming cohabitation in a custody dispute, surveillance provides visual and factual evidence that speaks for itself. Asset investigations, on the other hand, uncover hidden financial information helpful in divorce proceedings, business disputes, or debt recovery cases. Kinsey Investigations’ experienced team uses state-of-the-art technology and proven techniques to gather reliable, court-admissible information.

6. Legal and Corporate Investigations

Attorneys and law firms often turn to private investigators to strengthen their cases. Kinsey Investigations provides professional investigative support, including locating witnesses, verifying testimony, serving legal documents, and uncovering hidden evidence. We also conduct workplace and corporate investigations to address fraud, theft, or employee misconduct discreetly and effectively. Our professionalism and thoroughness have made us a trusted partner to legal and corporate clients across California.

7. Digital and Social Media Investigations

In today’s digital world, much of the information people seek leaves a trail online. Private investigators can track digital footprints, analyze social media activity, and uncover hidden connections or communications that may otherwise go unnoticed. At Kinsey Investigations, we use cutting-edge digital tools while maintaining strict legal and ethical standards, ensuring that all evidence gathered can stand up to scrutiny if used in court.

8. Insurance and Fraud Investigations

Insurance fraud costs companies billions every year, and honest policyholders pay the price. Private investigators play a key role in verifying claims and uncovering false reports. Kinsey Investigations works with insurance companies and individuals to gather evidence on suspicious disability, workers’ compensation, or property damage claims. Our detailed reports and visual documentation can make all the difference in resolving these cases swiftly and fairly.

Trust, Discretion, and Results

No matter the nature of the case, one thing remains constant: the need for trust. At Kinsey Investigations, we take pride in combining professionalism with genuine care for our clients’ well-being. We understand that reaching out to a private investigator can feel intimidating, but you can rest assured that your information will be handled with complete confidentiality. Our goal is not just to uncover facts, but to help clients move forward—with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
