How Our Investigation Services Work

Every assignment begins with a confidential consultation focused on the client’s concerns, objectives, timeline, and budget. Our private investigators then develop a case-specific strategy that may include surveillance, public-record and database research, witness interviews, background checks, digital evidence review, or coordination with attorneys.

Throughout the investigation, we document our findings carefully, preserve the chain of custody when evidence may be used in court, and keep the client informed as the facts develop.

John Cutter Investigations was founded by former NYPD Deputy Chief John Cutter after a decorated 25-year law-enforcement career.

Our licensed team brings experience from both public- and private-sector investigations and assists individuals, attorneys, businesses, insurers, and organizations across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida.

Whether the matter involves a sensitive family concern, suspected fraud, a missing person, litigation support, digital evidence, or a security issue, our role is to provide objective facts, clear reporting, and practical next steps with discretion and integrity.

How Private Investigators Support Attorneys And Legal Teams

While we can and do work with individuals on things such as infidelity issues or even child custody cases, we also work with attorneys in many cases on a variety of needs. We help secure evidence that attorneys will use in a court case, including conducting witness interviews, reconstructing timelines, and following the proper protocols for admitting evidence into legal proceedings.

Sometimes we are hired to find people who have seemingly disappeared. In other cases, we help to find people so that they can be served with court paperwork, such as divorce papers.

We also help out with fraud investigations of all kinds, helping to document important information and research publicly available documents and court records. For example, as insurance fraud investigators, we act to uncover inconsistencies, document relevant activity, review available records, and provide objective findings that help clients evaluate questionable claims.

What Can A Private Investigator Legally Do?

We have a number of professional skills and abilities that the average person does not. As former law enforcement, we understand just how far we can legally go in surveillance and data collection. We also have specialized tools that we can use for a variety of needs.

Because we are objective investigators, we provide unbiased information that is useful in court proceedings where others' testimony would be suspect.

Organizations can also turn to JCI for House Of Worship Security Services tailored to their facilities, congregations, and specific security concerns.

Our Investigation Process

Depending on the nature of the case, an investigation may include surveillance, interviews, background research, public record searches, documentation of activities, or other lawful investigative techniques.

Throughout the process, investigators carefully document their observations and findings so the information is organized, accurate, and useful for the client.

Once the investigation is complete, clients receive a summary of the findings along with any supporting documentation collected during the investigation. In situations involving attorneys or legal proceedings, this information may also assist with case preparation or other legal matters when appropriate.

If you are unsure whether an investigation is appropriate for your situation, speaking with an experienced investigator is often the best place to start.

During a confidential consultation, the investigator can discuss your concerns, explain the available investigative options, and help determine the most appropriate next steps.
