Florida Private Investigator Services
Need the Truth, Not Guesswork?
A Florida private investigator is a state-licensed professional who lawfully gathers, verifies, and documents facts on behalf of individuals, attorneys, and businesses. Redbeard Intelligence & Investigations is a licensed Florida firm, delivering discreet surveillance, background, cyber, and specialized private investigation services throughout Florida and nationwide.
Situations That Call for a Private Investigator
You do not need to be certain that something is wrong to ask for help — you only need a reasonable question you cannot answer on your own. Here are the situations that most often bring clients to us.
- Suspected Infidelity
Suspected infidelity or concerns about a new partner met online can be confirmed or ruled out through lawful surveillance.
- Missing Persons
Locating a missing person, a lost relative, or someone avoiding legal service of process.
- Vetting & Due Diligence
Vetting a business partner, employee, tenant, or caregiver before you commit.
- Custody & Divorce
Child custody, divorce, or support disputes that require documented facts.
- Fraud & Insurance Claims
Fraud, embezzlement, intellectual-property theft, or insurance claims that need investigation.
- Harassment & Stalking
Harassment, stalking, sextortion, or a romance scam that has turned threatening.
Who a Florida Private Investigator Helps
Our clients come to us during moments that matter—when a decision, a relationship, or a legal outcome depends on knowing the truth. A licensed PI in Florida serves a wide range of people, including:
- Individuals and families seeking clarity about a partner, a caregiver, a tenant, or a person’s real identity.
- Attorneys and law firms who need documented evidence, witness location, or asset information to support a case.
- Business owners and HR teams managing fraud, theft, due diligence, or workplace concerns.
- People who feel unsafe, including targets of stalking, harassment, or online exploitation.
What We Investigate and Detect
Redbeard combines field surveillance with open-source intelligence and forensic research to establish who someone is, where they are, and what they are doing. Depending on your goals, an investigation may uncover:
- Patterns of behavior, movements, and associations documented through lawful surveillance.
- Undisclosed identities, aliases, criminal history, or civil litigation.
- Hidden assets, business interests, and financial red flags relevant to a claim.
- Fake profiles, catfishing, and manipulation behind online relationships.
- Digital footprints, data exposure, and evidence tied to cyber harassment.
What to Provide When You Hire Us
The more context you can share, the faster we can focus the work and control cost. Helpful details include:
- The subject’s full name, known aliases, and any photos you have.
- Last known address, workplace, vehicle, or phone number.
- Relevant dates, locations, and a short summary of your concern.
- Screenshots, messages, documents, or profile links connected to the matter.
- Your objective—what a successful outcome would look like for you.
If you have very little information, that is common and not a barrier; part of our job is to develop leads from a modest starting point.
How the Investigation Process Works
Every case begins with a confidential consultation to understand your situation and confirm the work can be done lawfully and ethically. From there, a typical engagement follows a clear path:
- Assessment. We define the objective, scope, timeline, and realistic expectations.
- Planning. We select the right methods—surveillance, research, digital analysis, or a combination.
- Fieldwork. Licensed investigators gather and document findings as they develop.
- Verification. We corroborate information before it reaches your report.
- Reporting. We deliver organized findings and discuss the next steps with you.
What You Receive
You receive a clear, written report of the verified facts we were able to establish, presented in plain language. Depending on the case, deliverables may include:
- A detailed investigative summary with a timeline of events.
- Time-stamped photographs or video obtained through lawful surveillance.
- Documentation of records, identities, or assets located during research.
- Investigator notes suitable for review by your attorney.
We report what the evidence supports and clearly note what remains unconfirmed. We do not fabricate results or overstate certainty.
Confidentiality and Legal Compliance
Discretion is the foundation of this work. Your inquiry, your identity, and our findings are treated as confidential and shared only as you direct. Redbeard uses lawful methods only—we do not hack accounts, place illegal trackers, impersonate law enforcement, or trespass. Working within the law protects you, preserves the integrity of the evidence, and keeps findings useful if the matter ever reaches a courtroom.

What Affects the Cost
