The Benefits of Hiring a Private Investigator
In today’s fast-paced world, getting to the truth isn’t always straightforward. Whether you’re dealing with a cheating spouse, fraud, or employee misconduct, having clear and undeniable evidence is crucial. That’s where we come in. If you're looking for a private investigator in Jacksonville or Northeast Florida, Tradecraft Private Investigations specializes in discreet, professional services that bring you the answers you need.
Why Hire a Private Investigator?
Some people might think they can handle investigations on their own, but getting to the heart of a matter takes more than just a hunch. It takes skill, experience, and the right tools. A professional private investigator (PI) brings all of that to the table—plus expertise in surveillance, evidence gathering, and legal procedures—to make sure your case is handled effectively and ethically.
Expertise in Covert Surveillance
At Tradecraft Private Investigations, covert surveillance is our specialty. Whether it’s tracking a subject’s movements, observing suspicious behavior, or gathering photographic and video evidence, we do it all without being noticed. Our team is trained in:
- Advanced surveillance technology
- Strategic stakeouts
- Counter-surveillance techniques
- Legal evidence collection
This professionalism ensures that you get high-quality, court-admissible evidence while keeping everything confidential.
Legal Knowledge and Compliance
Hiring a private investigator means your investigation stays on the right side of the law. Many people trying to handle things on their own unknowingly break laws, which can lead to serious consequences. Take the case of a man who tried to monitor his ex-wife—after weeks of following her and several run-ins with her new boyfriend, the authorities got involved, and he ended up in jail for stalking and harassment. Our licensed investigators know Florida’s privacy laws and surveillance regulations inside and out, ensuring everything we do is legally sound. For instance, Florida has strict rules about recording conversations and trespassing, and we make sure all evidence we gather is done legally so it can be used in court if needed. Don’t take any chances—leave it to the professionals.
Unbiased and Professional Investigations
It’s easy for emotions to cloud your judgment, especially in personal situations like infidelity or child custody battles. That’s where we come in. Our role is to provide objective, fact-based investigations without personal bias. Our reports are thorough, well-documented, and designed to hold up under legal scrutiny.
Efficient and Time-Saving
Investigations take time, patience, and careful planning. Most people just don’t have the time or experience to carry out a thorough investigation. That’s why you can count on our team at Tradecraft Private Investigations to put in the time and effort needed to get discreet, reliable results, letting you focus on your life while we handle the work.
Access to Resources and Technology
As professional investigators, we have access to tools and resources that the average person simply doesn’t. Our specialized equipment allows us to:
- Locate missing persons
- Conduct background checks
- Identify fraudulent activities
- Track individuals discreetly
With these resources, we can run more effective, comprehensive investigations than anyone going it alone.
Common Cases Where a Private Investigator Can Help
Infidelity Investigations
One of the most common reasons people reach out to a private investigator is to confirm suspicions about a cheating spouse. If you’re feeling uncertain or need proof, our covert surveillance team can gather solid evidence—whether it’s photos or video—without the subject ever knowing. This gives you the clarity you need to make decisions based on concrete facts, not just feelings.
Child Custody and Divorce Investigations
In custody battles, the well-being of your child is always the top priority. If you suspect your ex-spouse is engaging in harmful or neglectful behavior, we can help by gathering evidence that supports your case. Whether it's documenting violations of custody agreements, substance abuse, or unsafe living conditions, our team works to ensure your child’s safety and provide the proof you need for court.
Employee Theft and Workplace Investigations
If you own a business and suspect internal theft, fraud, or misconduct, bringing in a private investigator can help protect your company. Our team discreetly monitors employees to identify dishonest behavior, providing you with detailed reports that give you the information you need to take the right action.
Missing Persons Investigations
Finding a missing person—whether it’s a lost relative, runaway teenager, or debtor—takes expertise and the right resources. Our team uses advanced tracking methods, thorough public records searches, and surveillance techniques to help locate individuals quickly and efficiently.

How Private Investigators Make a Difference:
Skip Tracing
Cheryl was searching for her father, whom she hadn’t seen or spoken to in twenty years. With only his name, age, and the last known state he lived in, an extensive background investigation was conducted, eventually leading to his most recent known address.
After unsuccessful attempts to contact him directly, efforts shifted to speaking with neighbors. One neighbor, who knew him, agreed to give him a call. Within an hour, he returned the call and gave permission for his contact information to be shared with his daughter.
That day, for the first time in twenty years, Cheryl was able to reconnect with her father.
Child Custody/Surveillance
Jeff was divorced and had no custody rights to his two children. He claimed that his ex-wife had full custody and rarely allowed him visitation. He also suspected that frequent parties involving alcohol and drug use were taking place at her residence.
Over several weeks, covert surveillance documented multiple parties at her home. Trash pulls conducted after these parties revealed bags filled with beer cans, liquor bottles, and even drug paraphernalia.
With video footage and physical evidence, Jeff was able to successfully petition for joint custody of his children.
Infidelity/Surveillance
Mark suspected that his wife was being unfaithful but had no concrete proof. She frequently stayed out late, claimed to be working overtime, and had become increasingly secretive with her phone. Wanting clarity, he sought evidence to confirm or disprove his suspicions.
Over several weeks, discreet surveillance was conducted, tracking her movements and interactions. On multiple occasions, she was observed meeting the same man at different locations, including restaurants, a hotel, and his private residence. Additional evidence, such as photographs and video footage, documented these encounters.
With undeniable proof in hand, Mark confronted his wife, ultimately leading to a confession. The evidence played a crucial role in his decision-making regarding their relationship and upcoming divorce proceedings.
