Most Common Reasons People Hire a Private Investigator in North Carolina.

  • Litigation Support, Intelligence, and Surveillance - A private investigator can provide background information and/or legally admissible evidence in civil or criminal cases: personal injury, workers’ compensation, legal disputes, or to support defense or prosecution.

  • Infidelity or suspected adultery — One of the top reasons people hire a private investigator is to investigate suspicions that a spouse or partner is cheating. Private investigators conduct surveillance and gather evidence to confirm or debunk those suspicions.

  • Background checks (personal or business) — Whether for hiring employees, screening potential business partners, vetting tenants, or checking up on a new romantic interest, many clients want a deeper and more thorough background check than what’s publicly available.

  • Family-law matters: child custody, divorce, hidden assets — In contested divorces or custody disputes, private investigators are often hired to gather evidence of living conditions, behavior, hidden income/assets, or parental fitness.

  • Missing persons / locating individuals — Private investigators are often engaged to help locate missing people, whether long-lost family members, estranged relatives, or individuals avoiding contact or obligations (e.g. debtors, absentee parents).

  • Fraud, financial crime, insurance or corporate investigations — That includes suspected insurance fraud, corporate fraud or embezzlement, hidden assets, and other financial misconduct. Businesses or individuals may hire a private investigator to uncover illicit activity or safeguard their interests.

  • Safety, harassment, harassment / stalking investigations — If someone suspects harassment, stalking, or threats — whether personal or corporate — a private investigator may be brought in to gather evidence and document behavior.
