Private Investigations
There are times where the services of a private investigator are required. It can be a stressful time for either a company or an individual when they find they need a private investigator. If you truly want to learn the facts of who, what, where, when, and why, then hiring the services of a private investigator is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Let the experienced professional investigators at Five Points Private Investigations provide you with peace of mind. When you need to know, let us be your eyes and ears.
Child Custody
In the case of a divorce or separation, a child custody investigation can help make sure that the child involved stays safe. A parent or court may order a private investigator to determine what the child's experience is like with the custodial or non-custodial parent. Investigations of parents sometimes reveal chronic neglect, child abuse, or parental alcoholism or drug abuse.
Five Points Private Investigations can provide surveillance to determine what happens when a parent or caregiver is with the child. Investigators can provide video documentation of any abuse or neglect that they observe. Investigators can also interview the parents or care providers to uncover any evidence of abuse or neglect.
Our trained investigators can find out whether a parent indulges in reckless driving, criminal activity, alcoholism, neglect, or other activities that may affect a child's welfare. This information can be used by parents and the courts to determine what would be in the best interest of the child.
If you have any suspicions, let Five Points Private Investigations get you the information you need.

Witness Interviews
A critical aspect of an investigation is the witness interview. Witnesses are a vital part of the discovery process, whether it is for a civil or criminal proceeding. How the witness is dealt with in the beginning of the investigation has ramifications that reverberate throughout the entire proceeding.
Five Points Private Investigations can benefit the legal practitioner enormously because they can approach witnesses as objective third-party contacts. While it is true that we will be working at the behest of the client, our investigators mandate is to uncover and develop all of the facts in the case, not prove the client's theory of how things occurred.
Our experience has found the most productive interviews are generally conducted in an environment the witness is comfortable with. This environment more often than not is at home or at work. Telephone interviewing is also a convenient and less stressful environment for the witness.
Developing rapport with the witness is vital. Rapport allows the investigator to gently probe for bias or hidden agendas in the witness characterization of events. This will help facilitate the witness appearance at deposition and subsequently at trial.
At Five Points Private Investigations our investigators are trained in every aspect of witness interviewing and are permitted to conduct field interviews only after they have learned techniques and mastered the stringent requirements sanctioned by the partners of the firm.
Witness Locates
Five Points Private Investigations have conducted numerous types of locates. These locates range from locating an individual for Process of Service, or locating a witness for a deposition/statement.
Finding someone can be difficult for the untrained. A locate investigation consists of uncovering someone's current address for a Process of Service, locating a witness for an interview for your case, or any other situations in which a person may be concealing their whereabouts. The investigator performing the witness locates works with specialized databases accessible only to licensed private investigators.
Polygraph Testing
Polygraph testing may seem like an extreme measure to obtain the truth. However, there are instances in which it can be an invaluable tool. Five Points Private Investigations can provide this service for internal affairs examinations, second opinion testing, employee theft investigations, child welfare investigations, as well as in cases of infidelity.
