Obtain better settlements and peace of mind for your clients.
Having relevant evidence will make the difference between winning and losing and the amount of settlements. The cost of losing or receiving small settlements can be catastrophic for your client. When we conduct your investigation, you will have well-documented, relevant evidence that will provide your client a substantial litigation advantage.
Our investigations will provide better outcomes in child custody disputes, child and spousal support, domestic violence cases and elder abuse cases.
We will find available evidence that proves real income, hidden assets, cohabitation, parent alienation, substance abuse, false allegations of substance abuse, physical abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Our work product is formatted to court-approved standards so that no further legal costs are incurred by our clients.

Surveillance/GPS Tracking:
FCIS will provide you insight into occurring activities.
FCIS has conducted surveillances on sophisticated criminal organizations and our experience is equal to none. We can provide your client factual evidence on both video and digital still photographs with our discreet surveillance operations. We also employ GPS tracking devices whenever legally permitted.
We pay special attention to all state and federal statutory regulations, as well as private sector liability for unlawful surveillance (civil and criminal liability.) We are careful not to violate anyone’s "reasonable expectation of privacy."
We provide a detailed, well-written, timely report, along with digital still photographs and video reproductions acquired depicting notable events upon the completion of the surveillance.
We are available to be present at depositions with documented surveillance evidence that was obtained in the field. We will appear for court testimony upon request/subpoena.
Asset Search/Investigation:
The more you know, the better settlement you can achieve for your client.
Our asset investigations are performed to determine the accurate picture of the spouse’s assets. It will also find unaccounted-for expenses in a business; real estate purchased with a partner, girlfriend, boyfriend or friend, vehicles, boats, business holdings and other entities. This investigation can also shed light into the spouse’s lifestyle and spending habits. Having seized millions of dollars of assets from criminal organizations, we have the training and expertise to deal with these issues.
Report will include:
- Identity of all assets
- Documentation of identifiable assets
- Property
- Banking institutions where assets are being held
- Surveillance of persons activity
Background Checks/Investigations:
FCIS will help you uncover potential or actual criminal activity.
We can provide you basic background checks or a comprehensive background investigation that will disclose criminal history. The information included in our in-depth background investigation will allow you to uncover a sordid history, or questionable character. This information can be used to persuade a change in circumstances, if not custody.
Included in our background investigations are:
- Investigative research
- Identification of neighbors, associates and relatives
- Criminal history check
- Civil litigation check
- Asset check
- Develop and interview independent witnesses
- Police reports on any incidents
- Certified copies of judgments and dispositions
- Probable cause affidavits to provide you background on the exact nature of the charges against the listed witness
- Certified copies of criminal convictions from local and out-of-state jurisdictions
A summary report is provided with the obtained court documents so you can easily review the cases in which the witness was involved.
Witness Interviews:
FCIS will provide you clarification of witnesses’ observations prior to deposition/testimony.
Interviewing is an art. We have interviewed over 1,000 government witnesses for trial preparation and grand jury testimony. We will contact and interview witnesses listed by the state and named by the client. We will provide you a detailed report of the interview. This report will give you the facts and evaluation of our impression of the witness’ credibility, and a peripheral view of the circumstances of the witnesses, i.e. living arrangements, substance abuse and influence from other witnesses.
Witness Locates:
FCIS will locate witnesses to strengthen your case.
We know it’s necessary to effectively locate witnesses who may provide information to the successful results of your case. We have the expertise and professional contacts to locate difficult witnesses.
Polygraph Examination:
FCIS will help you learn who is credible.
We know that the effective use of a polygraph can assist you in making a decision on the credibility of a witness or client.
We will:
- Conduct a preliminary assessment of the information provided by the client
- Interview the client regarding the allegations
- Develop questions to be asked
- Conduct a polygraph examination
- Provide a detailed report of the outcome of the polygraph examination
Handwriting analysis:
FCIS will help you know if your client authored the document in question.
We will conduct an independent review of handwriting analysis done by law enforcement and other experts to learn if there are any discrepancies.
