Legal Investigative Services

In the last couple months we’ve talked about how Scout Solutions offers private investigator services and business investigative services.  This month we’re going to tell you about the legal investigative services we provide.

Legal Investigative Services

Legal professionals can’t do everything themselves.  Lawyers and their aids spend a lot of time in books and getting ready for trials, and that’s why they often hire private investigators to do some of their legwork.

  • Locate people or assets – Whether it’s a witness, a stolen item or that missing something (animate or inanimate) the lawyer needs to close their case, a skilled private investigator can help track down whatever is needed.
  • Evidence – When most people think of private investigators they think of a guy spying on a cheating spouse.  Investigators are known for their ability to find evidence someone needs to find the truth, and the same can be applied in legal cases.
  • Process server – Having a hard time finding someone to serve them legal documents like a subpoena or divorce papers?  That’s another thing we specialize in.
  • Paralegal – Here at Scout Solutions, we’ve got our very own in-house paralegal.

If you are a legal professional in need of a little extra help, give Scout Solutions a call at (910) 762-4374 to get peace of mind, because peace of mind is priceless.

Business Investigative Services

As we mentioned last month, a private investigator does a lot more than spy on spouses while wearing a trench coat and fedora.  At Scout Solutions, we provide a wide array of services to private individuals, but we are also often hired by businesses who need a number of tasks done for them.

Business Investigative Services

Many people don’t realize that businesses have special needs that a private investigator can help them with.  Here are some of the services we provide to businesses.

  • Corporate Background Checks – We make sure the person you’re considering hiring isn’t hiding anything that might harm your company.
  • Criminal Cases – Employee theft can have a huge effect on your business. We can get the proof you need to find out who’s stealing from you.
  • Employment Verification – There are several reasons you might need to verify someone’s employment status.  We can fid out for you if a person works where they claim they do.
  • Fraud – Are you an insurance or mortgage company and suspect that someone might be lying for monetary gain?  Or maybe you have an employee who is faking injury to claim workers comp.  Either way, we can get the evidence you need to stop the fraud. 

If you represent or are in charge of a business that can use any of these business investigative services, give Scout Solutions a call at (910) 762-4374 to get peace of mind, because peace of mind is priceless.

Tips for a Successful Divorce Case with a Cheating Spouse

When you want to find the best help for your divorce case, you want to be sure that you are going about getting this help in the right way. You will want to get help with the case before you even know for sure if your partner is cheating or if the divorce is actually going to happen. Here we will talk about why this is and how to do it successfully.

Cheating Partners: Things to Look For

No one knows your partner/spouse better than you do. If you suspect that your partner/spouse is cheating DO NOT TELL THEM. Listen to that “gut feeling” and start paying special attention to what, where and why. Where are they going? Is it for work?  Is it normal for them to go there? Why are they going there? Is this a normal excuse? What is it that they tell you they have to leave and go do? Is this a normal thing they do for work and is this the normal time they usually go and do it?  Did your spouse usually have their cell phone just lying around just like yours, but now you don’t see it lying around anymore? Is it always close by them now? Does it have a lock on it now? Some of these are just little things that you might see, but have never really thought about before. The most important thing to pay attention to is that “gut feeling” and call the professionals at Scout Solutions Group, LLC to get you what you need.

Cheating Partners: Getting Evidence

Getting your evidence can extremely difficult if you try to do it on your own. You will want an impartial witness for you to conduct the surveillance to get you what you need to prove your case. Hiring a private investigative company to do this is relatively easy as there are many companies all over the US. Here in Wilmington, NC alone there are approximately 35 different PI companies. Scout Solutions Group, LLC is one of the largest and most experienced. We know what works and will get the surveillance done for you.

Finding Lawyers for Divorce Cases

In North Carolina you don’t have to get video of a sex act to prove infidelity. You should meet with a family law attorney and find out exactly what you can and cannot do if you suspect infidelity and find out what your rights are.  Once you have proof that your partner/spouse is cheating, the attorney you chose will consult with you on your best course of action.  Scout Solutions Group, LLC is experienced in infidelity cases and can point you in the direction to finding the attorney that is right for your case.

Remember, we at Scout Solutions Group, LLC are committed to the success of our cases and we strive for excellence in every case we do. No case is the same and we always think “outside the box” to come up with a game plan for our clients.

Child Custody: What to Do When You Suspect Your Child is in an Unsafe Environment


Child custody is a hot topic for many parents and it can be a heartbreaking thing to go through. Taking a child away from a parent is a horrific ordeal for both parents and the child. Divorce has become a part of life for lots of people and seems to be a growing trend. As parents, we have to make it as easy for the children as possible. We want them to know that they are loved by both parents. It is still, however, our duty as parents to make sure that our children are safe when they go and stay with the ex-husband or -wife and that they are in a safe environment.

Finding Out the Truth

It is common to be worried about your child’s safety with your ex if you had a bad relationship or if another person has come into the life of your child. Who is this person staying with your child? What kind of person are they? Are they addicted to drugs? Are they an alcoholic? Are they violent? These are responsible and adequate concerns. By hiring a private investigative company like Scout Solutions Group, LLC, you can find out whether or not your child is in a safe environment when they are with your ex. Whether it’s a thorough background check or surveillance work, our team can help you gain the peace of mind that your children are safe when they are away from you.

Remember that we are experts and are very experienced in investigating people in child custody cases.  We can help you confirm whether the fears you have over your child’s safety are founded or not.

Finding Legal Assistance

Depending on what is discovered during this investigation of the ex, you will be able to determine what kind of legal help you require. Scout Solutions can find legal representation with experience in child custody cases in order to help keep your children safe.

The safety of all children is of utmost importance. If you feel that “something’s just not right,” give us a call and we’ll discuss your “gut feeling” and come up with a plan that will help give you that peace of mind.

Who Do I Call to Help Find a Missing Person?

One of the most stressful experiences of a lifetime can be looking for a missing person. It is important to recruit as much help as you can from experts you can trust. We will discuss several factors to consider as you try to find the best people for the job.

How Much Experience do They Have?

It may seem obvious, but the first item on the list is to make sure that you enlist the help of someone that has experience. Be confident they have worked previously to find missing persons, and done so successfully, so that you can trust they will help you with your present situation.

If you are hiring a new company, then also make sure that you hire services alongside them so that you can make the most of the situation.

How Successful is Their Track Record?

It is also important to investigate the track record of the success and/or failures they have had in finding missing persons in the past. If you are contracting with a private investigator that has no history of ever accomplishing their goal in this field, perhaps you should re-think your choice. When an individual is missing you want to make sure you are using the best investigator for the job.

The thing to remember is that each company and private investigator might have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you are seeking a child, you will want to find people who have found lost children in the past.

How is the Payment Structured?

It may seem like one of the least important items at the time, but learning how much it costs to find missing persons can be important depending on your financial situation. You want to be sure that you are not going to be caught off guard with a large invoice that bears high interest. Take the time to look at how the company has handled late payments if you are worried about it, or ask them directly.

The bottom line is that you are going to want to find the best help that you can possibly find for your missing person issue. You want to be able to find the person as fast as possible. This is a good reason to find the ideal help, but you can’t waste time. Scout Solutions Group, LLC has experience and success. Give us a call at (910) 762-4374 so we can help you as soon as possible.
