What is an Investigation?

Put simply, an investigation is a systematic and detailed process of inquiry or examination with the aim of discovering facts, gathering evidence, and uncovering the truth about a particular subject, event, or situation.

Investigations can be conducted in various fields and for different purposes, such as law enforcement, scientific research, corporate compliance, and in professional investigation.

Why do people hire a private investigator?

Individuals and businesses hire private investigators for a variety of reasons, typically when they need to gather information, evidence, or conduct surveillance that they cannot do themselves due to lack of time, skills, or legal authority. Private investigation generally falls into three distinct areas, Personal Matters, Business and Corporate Investigations and Legal & Civil Investigations. Resolve Legal Solutions can help with all of these areas.
