The industries above are where most of our work comes from, not a limit on it. If your matter turns on locating someone, finding assets, examining a device, or getting a reliable account from a witness, we can probably help. Every engagement still starts with a documented lawful purpose, and we don't take assignments from individuals looking for other individuals.
