What images do these terms bring to mind? Cramped third floor offices littered with coffee cups, ashtrays and 3 year old post it notes on every wall? Maybe a battered London Fog overcoat hanging in the corner? If you watch much TV, this is probably the image that you have!

In truth, today’s P.I. firms are run more like fortune 500 companies. Most P.I. firms today are run from clean, modern, fully staffed offices. Today’s P.I. firms rely on a variety of agents with varied backgrounds to investigate a wide range of cases. Agents come from all walks of life. Some have military and law enforcement backgrounds, while others have backgrounds in sales and research. All of these skills are vital to a successful Investigative firm.

At Walton Investigations, we are often asked if we only handle marital cases. While we do investigate a large number of marital cases, we also handle many other types as well. We handle cases ranging from missing persons and deadbeat parents to location of adoptive parents and children. We also investigate insurance fraud and criminal issues from theft, extortion, and embezzlement to murder and robbery. Other services include civil process service, asset location and recovery, and personal & executive protection.

Another question often asked is whether or not we carry weapons. The answer is yes. Here’s why. In many cases our work can be just as hazardous as that of law enforcement. We often must confront hostile subjects without knowing if they are armed. Many times they are. There are also cases where we must protect battered spouses and corporate executives who have been threatened by disgruntled employees.

These and a host of other situations can be dangerous. Every agent for Walton Investigations is required to be armed on every assignment. They are also required to undergo intensive martial arts training every week. This is done, of course, for their protection, but most importantly it is done for YOURS.

Walton Investigations employs investigative agents with various backgrounds from all walks of life. This combination of experience allows us to learn the facts about your case. The answer we find may not be the answer you want, but at least you’ll know the truth.
