Whether you are suspicious of a spouse's actions, or just want to be sure a fiancée is being honest and forthright, knowing the truth about a partner is essential for a healthy relationship.  We can do background checks, financial history, and surveillance or GPS tracking if required

Whether a new employee, a business partner, a potential spouse, or almost any other reason, we can offer Background Investigations of many levels.  We can obtain:

• Current and former addresses
• Bankruptcies, Liens and Judgments
• Comprehensive New York State Criminal History
• Property Ownership and Asset verification
• New York State DMV searches for Vehicles or Licenses
• Current or past Employment and Education verification
• Sex Offender Registry
• Social Media Searches
• Credit Checks

We use the most comprehensive database, personal and physical searches as required to complete the investigation you request, but we won’t sell you something that you don’t need.  We are GLBA and FCRA compliant, and can provide you with the legally compliant applications or documentation you need to protect yourself from fraud.

We offer fast, reliable, legally compliant service of all kinds of legal documents;

• Summons and Complaints
• Subpoenas
• Civil Notices
• Foreclosure Documents
• Divorce Actions
• Evictions
• Surrogates and Court Searches
• County and Supreme Court Filings

Our service is often a fraction of what other service providers charge.  We cover all portions of Delaware County.  We will also gladly travel outside of that area for those “difficult to serve” locations, and we have agreements with other area Process Servers to avoid duplication of effort and keep charges and expenses down for our customers.  We usually make the first attempt within 24-48 hours of receipt of documents, but Rush or Expedite Service is available.  For those clients with a large consistent case load, we do have a Flat Fee service available.

All service agreements include up to 3 service attempts then "nail and mail" if requested, including early morning, late night and weekend attempts.  We can document service by photograph or video as possible upon request.  Affidavits of service are included as a part of the serve, and court filing is also available.

There are many needs for surveillance, whether a cheating spouse, workman’s comp or insurance fraud, custodial disputes or employee investigations.  We utilize multiple vehicles and techniques to work difficult rural surveillance to give you the best possible results, and we aren’t afraid to tell you what can and can’t be done.  There are times when you want a surveillance performed but don’t actually need one, or want a quick Internet search but need boots on the ground to make the case.  We don’t want to waste our time or your money; we will honestly advise you on the case and allow you to decide on your own the best course of action.

Our employees are all New York State Notaries Public; for depositions, witness interviews, foreclosure sales, affidavits, or any other notary needs you have.

Whether you are a private individual trying to prove your innocence, or a defense attorney requiring verification or disqualification of potential witnesses or evidence, we have the experience with police investigative techniques and reports to support your defense strategies.

If you are concerned about the safety and welfare of your children, trying to find out about their living conditions, or just want information on the people the other parent is associating with and exposing your children to, we can help.  If your former spouse is avoiding paying child support or misappropriating funds that are meant for your children, we can help with that too.

Maybe you are trying to locate a missing child, or a former spouse or partner for legal service, or a debtor to collect a debt, or simply a person you have lost touch with, we employ the most current methods to locate people for any variety of reasons, and will go above and beyond what others will do to get you the peace of mind you need.
