Spear Investigations provides litigation-focused investigative services to plaintiff attorneys handling complex, high-value civil cases nationwide. As a veteran-owned and operated firm, we help legal teams identify witnesses and uncover information relevant to workplace practices, corporate operations, and the circumstances surrounding a case.
Through targeted investigative research and witness development, our team supports attorneys seeking insight beyond traditional discovery methods. By locating individuals with firsthand knowledge, we help attorneys develop a clearer understanding of organizational conduct, operational procedures, and potential liability.
We understand that every matter is different. Before investing in a full Former Employee Search, many firms want confidence that the search criteria, target profiles, and available data align with their case strategy. That is why we offer our First Look™ service.
