Can a private investigator put a GPS tracker on a car?

Yes. Under Michigan law, licensed professional investigators are permitted to install GPS tracking devices on vehicles without a warrant or the vehicle owner’s knowledge or consent, provided the evidence obtained is intended for use in litigation. Accordingly, Vantage Point utilizes GPS tracking technology only in select cases and in coordination with the client’s legal counsel. When appropriate, GPS trackers can serve as a powerful investigative tool, offering valuable insights and critical information.

Why hire an investigator if I have a legitimate stalker or am being harassed?

Often times, victims do not have enough evidence for law enforcement or the courts to act. A skilled investigator can help bridge that gap, employing advanced surveillance techniques and meticulous evidence collection to ensure you have the proof needed to move forward with confidence.

Why would I hire an investigator to do a FOIA request?

Experience is crucial when it comes to obtaining records. The quality and completeness of the information received often depend on how the request is crafted. A skilled investigator understands which records are available, which agencies to contact, and often maintains established relationships with those agencies—helping to expedite the process efficiently.

I need to hire an investigator to find someone for me, will you give me their address and phone number when you find it?

Typically no. This is one of those times that an investigator will require you to waive confidentiality. If the investigator locates the person and is able to make contact with them, the investigator will provide your information and inform the person that you are attempting to reach them.

What if there is a PPO (personal protection order) against me?

The client agreement states that there is no PPO on file that would be violated by the investigation. The investigator will also verify the information with the court.

Can my investigator testify in court in my civil case?

Yes! In a civil case, the investigator is prepared to provide clear and credible testimony regarding the evidence they have carefully obtained and documented. Collaborating closely with your attorney, they ensure every aspect of the investigation is thoroughly explained, giving you confidence that your case is supported by accurate and reliable information.

Brian’s swift and hard work and detailed investigations have made the difference for many of my clients. I can not recommend him and his firm highly enough.

Richard Schaaf

I was referred to Vantage Point by my attorney during my custody case in late 2023. From my initial phone conversation with Brian I could already tell I was making the right choice by hiring him to work my case. He was thorough and on his game every step of the way. He listens and does exactly what he tells you he’s going to do. He fought for me and got me some very important evidence that was crucial for my case. I can’t talk enough about how grateful I am that I hired Brian to work for me and I recommend him to anyone looking for an investigator. Not many people understand how crucial an investigator can be in a custody battle but after my experiences I strongly recommend it especially if you need the evidence you cannot obtain yourself. Brian is a master of his trade and I will use him for all my future investigative needs and you should too!
