When you need the truth, you need it done right.
At Plutonian Group, private investigation is built on discretion, experience, and results that hold up. Whether you’re an individual facing a personal question you can’t ignore, an attorney building a case, or a business protecting its people and assets, our work is the same: uncover the facts that matter, quietly and thoroughly, and hand you a clear record you can actually use. From internal threats to external ones, we help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and control instead of doubt.
A Different Kind of Investigation Firm
We don’t ask unnecessary questions, and we don’t judge what brought you here. Our job is to get you accurate, documented answers as quickly and quietly as possible, so you can make decisions from a place of certainty instead of guesswork. Every case personal, legal, or corporate is handled with strict confidentiality and the same rigor: methodical surveillance, verified findings, and a clear timeline of what we observed. You’ll always know where things stand, you’ll never be left in the dark, and if it ends up in a courtroom, you’ll have documentation built to hold up. What you do with the truth is yours to decide. We just make sure you’re deciding with the full picture.
What We Investigate
Surveillance & Evidence Gathering
When clarity is critical, our licensed investigators conduct discreet field surveillance to document behavior, movements, and contacts as they actually happen — capturing time-stamped photo and video that speaks for itself. Every operation is covert, legal, and built around your specific situation, from a single evening to an extended multi-day effort. You get a factual record of what occurred, not theories or hunches.
Background Checks & Due Diligence
Knowing who you’re really dealing with protects your family, your business, and your future. Our background investigations go far deeper than a surface-level database search, verifying identities, histories, credentials, associations, and undisclosed red flags through legal investigative channels. Whether you’re vetting a partner, an employee, or a stranger who’s entered your life, we turn scattered fragments into one clear, reliable picture.
Fraud Investigation
Fraud causes financial, legal, and emotional damage — and the longer it goes unproven, the deeper it cuts. We uncover deception, trace the movement of assets, and document the evidence needed to take action. Whether the threat is internal or external, every fraud investigation is conducted with discretion, persistence, and an unwavering focus on the facts, so you can recover control and hold the right people accountable.
Litigation & Legal Support
Attorneys across Florida rely on us to strengthen their cases. We gather court admissible evidence, locate and interview witnesses, verify claims, and produce clear, professionally prepared reports structured to survive scrutiny. When a case turns on what can actually be proven, our investigative work gives you and your counsel solid ground to stand on.

Lenna
Charges were dropped by the state almost minutes after the ASA saw that I hired Leslie and her team. If you want leverage in a case, even what other lawyers would describe as “challenging,” I recommend hiring Plutonian. First, case strategy. You’ll receive unparalleled advice on how to drive your strategy and build your case based upon the available evidence. Case prep, trial strategy, and key insights. All bonuses to the investigator services and the costs are fair for my clients. I did not know an investigative team could add so much value to a case. I am a frequent client and will continue to be.

My firm is a repeat customer of Plutonian Group and I cannot recommend this company enough. I have been familiar with the excellence and diligence of the owner’s work for over 10 years, and that standard is upheld and exceeded with every assignment. Plutonian Group operates with exceptional teamwork, dedication to the task, thorough preparation, precise documentation, dynamic communication, and a truly unusual level of creativity. The Investigators are highly trained, highly disciplined, and highly persistent. When you place a job in Plutonian’s hands, their ownership of your goals is palpable. In our case, Plutonian Group collected indisputable evidence that ran contrary to claims made in multiple lawsuits in which the Plaintiffs sought inflated damages. Plutonian’s reports were timely, clear, and concise, and the evidence collected left no doubt as to the true situation in each case. Plutonian Group will get the answers you’re looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
You have questions, that’s completely normal. Hiring a private investigator is a big, personal decision, and you deserve straight answers before you take the next step. Below are the questions we hear most often. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, call us or reach out below, we’ll talk it through, no pressure.
What should I look for when hiring a private investigator?
Start with licensing. In Florida, legitimate investigators hold a state license — ours is #A3300037 — and carry insurance. Beyond credentials, look for a firm that documents to court-admissible standards, explains scope and cost upfront, and has real experience with cases like yours. If an investigator promises information no one could obtain legally, walk away.
How do you keep an investigation discreet?
Discretion is built into how we operate, not added on. Surveillance is conducted covertly by trained field investigators, communications stay strictly between you and our team, and we structure every case to avoid tipping off the subject. For attorneys, we can work under attorney-client privilege for an added layer of protection.
Do you work with businesses and law firms, or only individuals?
Both. We support private clients, attorneys, and companies from due diligence and employee investigations to fraud, asset searches, and litigation support. Whatever the setting, the standard is the same: verified facts, clear documentation, and complete confidentiality.
What will I actually receive at the end?
A professional report documenting our findings, supported by time-stamped photo and video evidence where applicable. It’s organized to evidentiary standards and written in plain language, so you and your attorney, if there is one can understand exactly what we found and use it if the matter moves forward.
What information do you need from me to get started?
Usually far less than clients expect. A basic outline of your situation, the questions you want answered, and any relevant names, locations, or timelines is enough to begin. We’ll identify what’s useful and what isn’t during your consultation, and we never ask for more than the case requires.
How quickly can you begin?
In most cases, within days of your consultation. Once we’ve agreed on scope and a plan, we can mobilize quickly, and for time sensitive matters, we’ll tell you honestly what’s realistic before you commit to anything.
Get the facts. Then decide.
Uncertainty is expensive — in time, money, and peace of mind. One confidential conversation with a licensed Plutonian investigator is all it takes to understand your options and what an investigation can do for you. No pressure, no obligation, complete discretion.
