Why People Hire a Charlotte Private Investigator

Charlotte is the state’s largest city and one of the country’s major banking centers, and its caseload reflects that. Family court at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Uptown regularly sees divorces where one spouse’s spending, travel, or undisclosed accounts become central to equitable distribution. Business litigation often involves partners, former executives, or vendors whose history nobody checked before the contract was signed. Our founder, Jaymes Holden, brings more than 30 years of law enforcement and investigative experience to this work, and our reports are written for the attorneys who will rely on them.

Growth creates its own obstacles. Residents move between South End, NoDa, University City, and the suburbs constantly, and heavy apartment turnover makes witnesses and debtors harder to pin down. That is one reason online searches alone rarely locate the right person in a metro this size.

Casework We Handle Across Mecklenburg County

• Divorce and asset questions: Documenting lifestyle, spending patterns, and signs of hidden income when marital property is being divided.
• Infidelity and third-party claims: North Carolina is one of only a handful of states that still allow a spouse to sue a third party for alienation of affection or criminal conversation. Those claims rest on evidence of conduct before the date of separation, so timing matters.
• Custody observation: Careful records of a parent’s routines, supervision, and compliance with an existing order, presented so a judge can follow them.
• Finding witnesses and debtors: Skip tracing that pairs records research with fieldwork when someone has moved, changed numbers, or gone quiet.
• Help for defense counsel: Scene work, witness interviews, and statement review as part of our criminal defense investigations.
• Injury and workers’ compensation claims: Activity checks on claimants in warehousing, logistics, and construction jobs along the I-85 and I-77 corridors.
• Business partner and vendor research: Litigation history, prior companies, and red flags on the people behind a deal.
• Missing loved ones: Organized search support that runs alongside police efforts. See our missing persons investigations.

We stay inside North Carolina law on every assignment. That means no breaking into accounts, no unlawful GPS trackers, and no deceptive pretexts that could get evidence thrown out. Findings are only useful if they were gathered properly.

Evidence Built for Mecklenburg County Courtrooms

A photo on its own rarely settles anything. What persuades a judge or opposing counsel is a record that shows when, where, and how each observation was made, written by someone prepared to explain it under oath if needed. Our reports follow that standard. We log times and locations, keep original media intact, and separate what we saw from what we infer. When a case calls for court records, we pull them from the Clerk of Superior Court and North Carolina’s eCourts system rather than relying on third-party summaries that may be outdated or incomplete.

We also know that many Charlotte clients are balancing an investigation with a demanding job or a family in the middle of change. We schedule calls around your availability and keep communication discreet, whether that means a personal email address or updates routed only through your attorney.

Neighborhoods and Towns We Cover

Our investigators work throughout Charlotte, including Uptown, SouthPark, Ballantyne, Myers Park, and University City, as well as Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Huntersville, Cornelius, and Davidson. When a case crosses into South Carolina or another state, the same team stays with it.
