With that in mind I emphasize “preparedness”, prepare for what is to come in all aspects to include legal. And so sticking to my rails, I would like to focus on just a couple of ways a private investigator such as myself can assist you in preparing for your case when dealing with child custody issues or a co-habitation matter here in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. Keeping a child from a parent is a true form of child neglect which must be confronted head on. In all cases the law tries to do what is in the best interest of the child and sometimes it does serve the “best interest” to keep the child from an abusive parent. There are times though where a custodial parent takes liberties in what amounts to a false interpretation of court rulings and for vindictive reasons attempts to keep the child from the opposing parent. One way we have been detecting this “tactic”, for a lack of a better term, is through the excuse of quarantine. Some unscrupulous parents have taken to keeping children from seeing mom/dad because they are not in the same household. In one recent case in one of our suburbs namely Matthews, NC we undertook an assignment showing that mom was not only keeping her children from seeing dad and using the aforementioned excuse but then taking the children to have “social time” with her best friend and their children. We were able to show through surveillance gross negligence on the part of the mother which the client could now use to bolster his case in front of the judge when the time comes.

While as an industry as a whole, there has seen a dramatic decrease in surveillance investigations such as the one mentioned above we have seen an uptick in professionally formulated background checks investigations which do not, for the most part, require the investigator to leave the confines of their office. While reasons abound for the need of this service, we have implemented ways to secure valuable information at a reasonable rate while maintaining strict adherence to regulatory laws.

As we prepare to enter the three different phases our Governor, Roy Cooper, has implemented to ease COVID-19 restrictions we anticipate a trickle then steadier flow of cases that will need investigative resolutions. Again, preparedness is key, and I suggest that the potential client begin the task of finding the right investigative company to handle their matters sooner than later.

At WB Investigations we are ready to help whomever and however we can and often dispense with free advice. Call a private investigator in Charlotte, NC today and begin the right relationship and partnership. A client once is a client for life.

I just recently had a client who suspected her husband of having a prolonged affair, but she was having trouble pinpointing with whom and where this was happening. The current “state of affairs” here in Charlotte, NC or rather I should say, the world provided her with a seemingly unique opportunity to obtain the identity of the individual she felt knew existed. How so you may ask? Well, the client was smart enough to realize that with the closure of most businesses and places to go the chances that her husband would travel to a paramour’s domicile was extremely high and so she hired us to help her get the information she was looking for. So, on a set date and time we headed out and so began the quest. The client’s husband would come up with excuses to leave the house and would often say he would be either going to the store or out to exercise but would not return for couple of hours at a time and always with the same excuse of “ he got lost in his time and thoughts”. On he went and well, you know the rest.

The illustrated point above is that there is always an opportunity and sometimes the opportunity becomes clearer and more decisive in times where it seems our backs are against the wall. Most people would think this to be the worst time to hire a professional investigative service when in fact this is probably the best time to save yourself time and money because of that precise situation we all are currently faced with.

At WB Investigations we thrive on the opportunity to help assist our clients in obtaining the legal information they require in order to better their lives. We have the tools and knowhow and have the experience necessary to make sure that you get your money’s worth and more. We are your investigative “fiduciary” and have your best interest in mind.

Aside from the traditional services offered there are other ways of obtaining information which do not require physical surveillance. Calling us today and speaking with one of our investigators costs nothing and we are not afraid to dispense with advice and guidance. We hope all stay safe and healthy and know that we shall get through this, hopefully stronger and more prepared for what is ahead.

As Private Investigators we are trained to look for the signs and act accordingly in order to capture the necessary necessary imagery required by the client.The best cases are those where the client and the investigators work as a team and provide each other with factual information. Half truth given to the investigator always leads to less than desirable results. Open communication and trust is paramount towards the effectiveness of a well run case. As professionals we are here to maintain and secure your information and never disseminate it unless given permission by the client.

A quick and poignant example is that of any one neighbor going on popular “neighborhood” websites and posting pictures of plates of vehicles they feel have committed some sort of minor infraction while driving past their residence. Of course we all want to curb disruptive and sometimes dangerous behavior but where does that leave us in terms of the rights of the individual who’s plate is being posted online for the world to see.

There are many arguable points such as “expectations of privacy” or lack thereof because the vehicle is on public property. Defamation of character based on single frame pictures and a whole host of other things is a true danger. The basic point is that we are slowly devolving into a state of mind where at anytime for any reason you are being not only watched and recorded but judged and devalued or admonished without the recourse of defense. This is not to say that public shaming is not sometimes warranted in order to curb anti-social behavior but I would go a step further and say that if such behavior is pervasive then the right way to address it would be through the proper authorities and not a community forum. Meaning to say, video away but be careful and prudent as to how to disseminate the information.

Private Investigators and the work they do is, in my humble opinion, one of the best ways to handle situations which have so aggrieved you that you felt the need to hire one in the first place. First off you would be obtaining the service of someone who is legally licensed to do such work. The investigator is also impartial and can offer a third party assessment of the situation which would then carry more weight in a possible court proceeding. Again there are innumerable reasons which we can delve into but suffice to say that in this new state of being where “1984” is upon us, its best to be cautious and kind and do things the right way in order to protect yourself and your neighbor.

Most parents who pay child support are good people who will work multiple jobs and move heaven and earth to make the payments as they love their children.  But some will do anything they can to get out of making the payments, either through legal means or by simply not paying the right amount, not paying on time or not paying at all.  If your payments are processed through a state agency with enforcement powers, you can often make your ex do the right thing.  When the payments are made directly to you by your spouse, you and your children are at their mercy.  If this is happening, you have to understand your options.

You can go take your ex to court to seek legal relief but you will have to present evidence showing that the only reason they are not paying the right amount (or anything at all) or you will accomplish little but adding legal costs to your burden.  If you are seeking legal relief in terms of receiving child support payments, you and your lawyer should engage a private investigation firm.  Most private investigation firms are skilled in investigating the financial situations of people they are investigating.  These investigations are done with the utmost discretion so that the person being investigated will not know their finances are being looked at. The evidence that will be produced from these investigations, which can included written documentation as well as photographic and video-graphic evidence of your ex working or living a lifestyle that may be indicative of financial conditions that should not hinder their payment of child support.  When presented to a court you will be in the best possible situation to gain financial justice for your children and yourself.

First, have a well-functioning, no descript vehicle. Meaning to say that your neon blue BMW will probably stand out a bit. Believe me when I tell you that in all my years as an investigator, I’ve had at least a handful of guys show up with flashy cars. I prefer a minivan with legal tint in the back.

Second, make sure your equipment, i.e. camera is fully charged and more importantly with you. Seriously, it happens.

Third, know where to sit. This one is the killer for most rookies, and when I say rookie I mean anyone with three or less years in the field. I would go as far as to say that most investigators feel super uncomfortable unless they have a direct view of the “Subject”. Always know your surroundings and if possible, go for the direct view but not at the expense of getting made within an hour. I could expand on this particular topic more than any other. I’ll save that for a later time and date.

Fourth, don’t be afraid to follow. The biggest tough guys and girls are prone to fall under this spell every so often. Don’t think they (Subject) knows right off the bat that they are being followed. Push the thought completely out of your mind, have some confidence in your skills, and don’t be afraid to lose them. You can always find them later.

Fifth and last point for this particular blog. Always and I mean always do your best to follow the legal rules of the road. Simply stated, “It’s never worth it”. Be it a ticket or worse and accident of any type, it does not pay to break the law.

So while I started out by mentioning, Workman’s Comp Investigations, these simple rules apply to any investigation being marital or child custody. Experience, experience, experience, this is what makes an investigator a real pro. Not your latest hand held camera or your super snazzy hidden pin-hole. Learn the basics, master the basics and you’ll be in our business for a long time to come.

While reasons vary as to why anyone would want to run a background check on any potential subject there are at least five good and reasonable universal reasons why this is a good idea.

First : Safety

Who is that man or woman I am currently dating? What can their past tell me about who they are and how they can potential influence my future. Are they dangerous, are they prone to abuse, are they habitual law offenders. Can they hurt me and or present a danger to my family.

Second: Honesty

Have they been forth right in who they say they are? Can you trust them? So much can be learned from a simple background check. For instance, does their residential history match what they have told you in the past? Do they co-own property with someone else? Which could be a simple way of determining past relationship status. Does their background check measure up to the person being presented to you?

Third: Due diligence

Are you doing everything in your power to protect your assets? A simple background check on a potential employee, future business partner, buyer or seller could prepare you for what is to come. Know who you are entrusting with your assets.

Fourth: Locating Individuals

Anyone wanting to learn more about who they are and where they came from may want to pursue a background check on estranged family members. Lawyers may want to locate individuals for process service, and or reason number three, follow through with “Due Diligence”.

Fifth: Peace of Mind

Knowledge is power, you owe to yourself to be kept informed of everything and everyone around you.
