Attorney Investigative Support in North Carolina
Attorneys often need more than the information already available in a case file. Blackwell's PI Services provides professional investigative support for criminal, civil, family law, and business-related matters, helping counsel gather facts, locate people, document activity, and follow investigative leads.
Our role is straightforward: conduct lawful investigative work, document what we find, and provide clear information for attorney review.
Investigative Support for Attorneys
Every case has different questions. Some require locating a witness. Others may involve reviewing public records, documenting a location, conducting surveillance, or following up on information that needs independent verification.
Blackwell's can work with counsel to understand the investigative objective and determine what field work, research, or documentation may be appropriate.
Our investigators focus on facts, not legal conclusions. Blackwell's PI Services does not provide legal advice or determine how investigative findings should be used in a case.
