From the moment an applicant applies for a job until the end of employment and even after, investigation needs can arise. We are able to help with background searches, employment searches, theft, injury claims, business partners start up inquires and more. Additionally, businesses sometimes require an investigation of their operations or of their potential partners. This is generally when a business is looking to merge or an individual is looking to start into business with another person. Beyond the investigations listed, there are many types of searches we perform to help businesses from intellectual property, to criminal inquiries to financial searches. You tell us what you need and we will work to find a plan to give you the tools and information you need to make sure that your company is successful.
Legal Investigations – Gunderson Services works closely with local, national, and international law firms to fulfill their investigation needs. We work closely with each firm to learn what they are looking for in an investigation company. Once we have learned that, we are able to develop comprehensive reports upon completion of investigations that are complementary to their legal services for their clients. We take great pride in our completed projects and have been told that our work is the best they have seen by several of our clients who have regularly used investigators.
Surveillance – Surveillance not only gives you definite answers to what an individual is doing, but if it is done correctly, you will also have irrefutable proof of the person’s doings. Gunderson Services has been able to obtain photos and videos that have been touted as the best they have seen by businesses that use investigators frequently. Our skills at making ourselves unknown to the subject are impeccable. This is a highly skilled area and our expertise proves itself over and over. We are able to blend into any environment and use advanced technology and equipment that makes the subject completely unaware that his/her actions are being captured. We are contacted for surveillance for a wide variety of circumstances including confirming a person’s activities, infidelity, locating where a person is going, locating an individual’s employment, fraud, looking into a person’s lifestyle, drug or alcohol usage, insurance claims, and business surveillance. Surveillance can be carried out over a few hours or spread out over days or weeks depending on the circumstances. Whatever your needs are, we endeavor to provide you the evidence you need at a reasonable cost and within your required timeframe.
Asset Searches – With legal purpose, Gunderson Services is able to locate assets of an individual or a business. This is useful for clients for reasons such as bad debt, foreclosure, bankruptcies, potential loans, and fraud. We abide by all local federal laws including the GLB Act, the FCRA, and the FDCPA. Obtaining this type of information helps to create a full financial picture of a business or an individual.

Civil Case Investigation – Both individuals and attorneys call on us to perform investigations to help them with their civil cases. Some of the more common investigations requested are surveillance (including child custody or marital disputes), asset locates, skip tracing, and background research. Attorneys will hire us to assist with civil cases when they need an investigator to perform these or other investigations. We approach each case with thought and consideration and coordinate with the attorney to determine how to best conduct the investigation. Once completed, we create a professional and detailed report, including photos and videos when appropriate, for the attorney to use in the case. We also will act as an expert witness in a court proceeding when needed.

Our experience and confidence in our work makes for a great testimony on your behalf. Be assured that our professionalism and integrity are recognizable. If you are considering court testimony, please contact us and we will discuss this in depth with you and your attorney.
Skip Traces – A skip trace is an attempt to locate an individual. Skip tracing is performed by collecting as much information as possible about a subject, then analyzing and verifying all of the information. We are hired to perform skip traces for many reasons including debt recovery, service of process, criminal matters, and civil matters. Unfortunately, there are individuals who are working at not being found and leave little to no trail behind them. This is an example of when skip tracing is needed and takes an experienced person to know where and how to look. In these cases, much of the research must be conducted using the traditional methods of investigation which may include hand-search of civil and criminal court records; regional database research; interviews; hand-search of library or news archives; and discreet in-person inquiries. It takes a combination of many avenues in order to find the answers for which we are looking. Gunderson Services has a leading edge as we are known for being approachable and people will often divulge information to our investigators when others were not able to get information.
Missing Persons – From runaways and long lost relatives or loved ones to cold case missing persons, we can assist in finding the answers you need. Gunderson Services uses many different avenues to find people. Of course we have access to many exclusive databases which help us with our search, but our most effective methods are not in the office. We are skilled in foot work and getting real answers. Our methods of finding people are specialized, effective and proven. We are prepared and capable of taking on challenging cases, but also are here to help with basic locates. Most clients who hire us for missing person cases are dealing with a high amount of emotion and/or stress and we are able to give them regular updates to help ease the stress of the unknown.
Heir Location – Gunderson Services works to locate heirs for attorneys, individuals, and bank officers for many reasons including establishing an heir’s interest or to refute claims by alleged heirs. This type of research is performed using exclusive databases, pulling documents at the court by hand, interviews, and field work. Sometimes a family tree is not quite as it appears and we are able to unearth the answers you need to determine correct heirs and their whereabouts.
Child Custody – Child custody matters are extremely emotional and require a great deal of trust in the person handling all aspects of it. As all cases are, these types of cases are worked with extreme care and thoughtfulness, understanding the importance of the outcome. We are able to use the latest technology for research and surveillance as well as interviewing relevant people. We are able to provide evidence into what the treatment of the child is like by a parent or insight into a parent’s behavior and lifestyle. We understand your concern and will work to provide you with answers that will help to keep your child safe.
Domestic Matters – Gunderson Services uses the latest techniques including cell phone, social media, and GPS tracking techniques to assist clients with domestic matters. Including infidelity, child custody, and divorce, we will work to collect information and documentation that will help you with your case. Few investigators have the determination and the success of capturing subjects on film that Gunderson has. Gunderson can bring hard evidence to you so that you can make the best decisions you can. We will work with you and bring our creativity and experience to you to tailor a plan that is specific for your situation. By using a combination of investigation techniques, surveillance cameras, tracking, and interviews, we offer our clients the most effective methods of achieving successful results.
Family Law – Gunderson Services has experience investigating many types of family law cases including marriage, adoption, child abuse, and divorce. We are hired to perform surveillance, research assets, provide protection, and locate individuals in these types of cases. Gunderson Services can provide you with the proof and/or peace of mind you deserve. We will provide you with a professional detailed report including any evidence collected to help you with your legal challenges related to family law.
Background Checks – Performing a background check is a core part of our job on almost every case we work. It is always important for us to “get to know” our subjects and we use relevant methods to each case as we study our subjects and learn how to best approach the work. Alternatively, many people contact us looking for background checks for a variety of reasons such as pre-employment, partners entering business together, prospective relationship partners, etc. We are able to help our clients make informed decisions by providing information on criminal history, bankruptcies, court records, driving records, prior employment, liens, judgments, foreclosures, evictions, address history and more.
Employment Background Checks – Companies have different ideas on how deep they would like to investigate an individual they are going to hire based on what role the prospective employee will have and what he/she might have access to within the company. For many positions, employers are solely interested in criminal history and employment references. For executive hires, however, many companies want to search deeper and look into criminal history, credit history, foreclosure history, bankruptcies, driving history, credential verification, prior employment and more. Employers are looking to find out if the applicant is honest, reliable, fiscally responsible and qualified for the job before they make such a big hiring decision. We provide information to employers so that they can attempt to determine this and whether they have found the best candidate for the position. (Note some of these areas of investigation require prior consent from the applicant.)
Threat Management –If there is a potential threat or potential for harm, Gunderson Services will work with you to set up a protection plan and strategy. We integrate a number of different approaches to threats which are designed to stop them before they occur and also act immediately when necessary. The ability to handle this type of case takes a certain type of skilled investigator with a keen sense of personality types, situation understanding, imminent danger recognition, awareness of surroundings, and ability to react appropriately and swiftly in the face of danger.
Executive Protection – Executive Protection involves protection of a person by very skilled and trained professionals. Gunderson Services provides the protection you need by blending into surroundings and protecting an individual and the individual’s family if needed. Although the investigator will blend into the surroundings, he is always within close proximity to the person being protected so that he can act immediately should the need arise. Furthermore, because the investigator is able to melt into the environment and not be seen or noticed by others, the person being protected is allowed the freedom to go about his/her business as usual. This allows for confidential as well as effective protection. Gunderson Services understands that threats to an individual with this type of protection need can vary widely and that it takes immediate and thorough collaboration with the company making the request. Gunderson Services will work swiftly to help identify and prepare for the range of risks that may be encountered.
Injury Claims – Gunderson Services can help with personal injury investigations by attempting to find out how an injury has occurred as well as Workers’ Compensation investigations by uncovering insurance fraud. With personal injury investigations, we are able to assist either side of the injury and help the attorney or business identify what really happened. We will conduct in-depth and complete interviews as well as field investigations to find answers. Our experience with workers compensation investigations has enabled us to develop a sense of a person’s character from the time of its inception. This helps us collaborate with the employer to approach the case in the best possible way. Once completed, we provide professional and clear documentation that is helpful for you to present to the workers’ compensation board or in a court of law.
Fraud Claims – Gunderson Services will investigate Workers’ Compensation, disability, property, life and other types of insurance fraud. As with most investigations, fraud investigations begin with a meeting between the investigator and the client to determine the best plan of action. We collect information on what is suspected and work collaboratively to develop a situation-specific investigation. We use surveillance, asset searches, background checks, employee investigations, business investigations, tracking, field work and other relevant techniques to determine if there is fraud and provide you with documentation. Additionally, we can investigate other types of suspected fraud such as those occurring from identity theft.
- Service of Process – Gunderson Services performs service of process for a variety of clients. From simple services to complex services including skip locates, we are extremely successful at effecting service. Not every service is the same, thus we have developed the ability to recognize and adapt to many different service environments. Furthermore, as we perform service of process across the country, we understand that each area has its own regulations with which we comply. After completion, we will create and file professional proofs or declarations in a timely fashion. Service of process is a critical part of court cases and the ramifications of incomplete and incorrect service can be large. We have earned the trust of our clients. Our clients appreciate that they can utilize all areas of our company when they need service of process including finding someone through a skip locate and then effecting service. Clients appreciate our regular updates as well as utilizing only one company for all of their needs from finding someone to serving them. We provide process service for most types of documents including summons and complaints, subpoenas, family law matters, garnishments, judgments, restraining orders, and eviction and foreclosure notices.
