How Attorneys Use Surveillance Investigations to Win Cases

In legal battles, facts win cases—and the most compelling facts are those that can be seen, documented, and proven. That’s why more attorneys are turning to professional surveillance investigations to gain the upper hand in and out of court. At New York Investigations, we partner with law firms across New York to deliver legally sound, discreet, and high-impact surveillance that strengthens legal strategies and exposes the truth.

Confidential Consult

Surveillance: A Powerful Tool in Any Legal Toolbox

Surveillance is no longer just a tactic used in criminal investigations. In civil, family, corporate, and insurance cases, visual and behavioral evidence often determines the outcome. Attorneys use surveillance to:

  • Confirm or disprove claims

  • Uncover fraud or misconduct

  • Support motions and settlements

  • Cross-check testimony

  • Establish timelines and patterns of behavior

In today’s courtroom, seeing is believing—and nothing speaks louder than real-world footage or photo evidence.

Every case begins with a private, no-obligation consultation. We listen to your concerns, ask targeted questions, and assess the situation. Our goal is to understand:

  • Who is the subject?

  • What are the suspected activities?

  • When and where should surveillance occur?

  • What are your desired outcomes?

This step is 100% confidential. No action is taken until we have your full approval and a clear strategy in place.

Types of Cases Where Attorneys Rely on Surveillance

Our surveillance services are routinely used by attorneys in cases involving:

  • Personal Injury & Workers’ Compensation Fraud
    Confirm whether a claimant’s physical activities match their reported injuries.

  • Child Custody Disputes
    Document negligent parenting, dangerous environments, or custody violations.

  • Alimony & Cohabitation Cases
    Prove that an ex-spouse is living with a new partner and should no longer receive spousal support.

  • Civil Litigation
    Monitor behavior, property use, or contract compliance to support civil claims.

  • Intellectual Property & Business Law
    Observe ex-employees or competitors suspected of theft or breach of contract.

With the right evidence, attorneys can shift the balance of a case in their client’s favor—often before it ever reaches trial.
