California Private Investigators Save Clients Time and Money

At Kinsey Investigations, we’re not always the first California private investigations firm our clients have called.

We’ve earned our reputation as the best private investigator in Los Angeles as well as dozens of 5-Star online reviews, because we get the job done, and often within days, when others have failed over weeks or even months.

However, wise California attorneys and business owners facing cases such as these realize they’ll save money and time by choosing to work with a licensed Los Angeles private investigations firm.

Kinsey Investigations Activity Checks - A woman wearing a long coat walks down a sidewalk.

Female Private Investigators for Activity Check Investigations

California private investigators use activity checks for simple fact-finding cases or to determine if a more in-depth private investigation is needed. From parents wanting to check in on their teens or college students to employers needing to confirm workers’ injury or disability claims, many individual and corporate clients hire private detectives in Los Angeles and the surrounding area to conduct these fast, affordable private investigations. An L.A. private investigator can spend a few hours or even less observing a home or business or tracking an individual’s movements or activities and report back expediently. Activity check investigations are ideal when a client needs a simple confirmation or has a singular question they need answered. Female private investigators have a significant advantage carrying out activity checks, because our presence in the majority of public spaces arouses less suspicion than that of a man. We can easily blend into residential settings or even close by private property, often without needing to try to conceal our presence. Kinsey Investigations offers activity checks for a variety of client needs throughout the state. Our licensed and insured California private investigations firm is woman-owned, and our team of female private detectives are ready to help you find the answers or evidence you need.

A Private Investigator Talks Social Media Investigations

For California private investigators, knowing where to find evidence isn’t always enough. Los Angeles private detective agencies have to be especially careful when conducting social media investigations to make sure that neither the type of information we locate online nor the means we use to find it breach any federal or state privacy laws. These laws themselves are works in progress, subject to a great deal of interpretation, most importantly by judges who then create legal precedents with the judgements they hand down. As any L.A. private investigator will tell you, it’s no small job keeping up with it all. Here at Kinsey Investigations, we use social media and other online investigation tools for many of our clients’ cases. At the end of the day, especially when the evidence we turn up must be admissible in court, it’s vital that we know about and take all important legal considerations into account.

Kinsey Investigations Process Service - A hand from an unseen person rings a doorbell.

Why You Should Hire a Professional for Process Service

You might not think of using a California private investigator for process service of your legal documents in a lawsuit; however, most Los Angeles private detective agencies do offer process service in addition to their private investigations services. While the state of California only requires that the person serving documents in a civil case be someone 18 years of age or older who is not named in the lawsuit, hiring a professional process server or private investigations firm licensed in California can help you avoid a number of pitfalls. Defendants who are difficult to locate, specifications around the information that must be disclosed at the time of the documents’ delivery, and the potential for some people to become angry and aggressive when they find out they’re being served are just a few examples. At Kinsey Investigations our female private investigators have an outstanding track record for locating defendants in our clients’ cases. We know and understand the disclosures required by law for the process service to be legal and complete in the eyes of the California justice system, and we have the experience and confidence to handle any sort of reaction from someone who’s just been served court papers. Don’t run the risk of delaying your case or even worse outcomes. Hire Kinsey Investigations for process service of your legal documents.
