Every case has a gap between what the client says happened and what can be proven. Closing it is investigative work: the witness who moved, the camera that recorded the intersection, the record the other side did not disclose, the claimant who is not as injured as the file says. FSO Guard provides litigation support and investigative services for attorneys in Miami and South Florida — licensed investigators working under counsel’s direction on civil, family, commercial and criminal matters.

How we work with counsel
- Engagement through the firm so work product and communications are structured for protection.
- Scope and budget in writing — tasks, priorities, deadlines (discovery cutoffs, depositions, trial dates) and a cap you approve.
- Regular updates in the format you prefer, with no surprises on cost.
- Court-ready deliverables — reports written for use in litigation, exhibits properly labeled, chain of custody maintained, statements in admissible form.
- Lawful methods only — no pretexting protected records, no unlawful recording, no trespass, no GPS on vehicles we may not track. Evidence gathered otherwise is worthless to you and dangerous to your client.
Why firms work with FSO Guard
- Licensed Florida investigative agency (Class A) with Class C investigators; security agency (Class B) for matters that also require protection or courtroom security.
- Investigators fluent in English, Spanish and Russian — essential in Miami-Dade and Broward.
- Field capacity for multi-investigator surveillance and fast canvasses.
- Discretion: we do not discuss clients, cases or results.
