Florida Private Investigation Services

When you need a private investigator in Florida, Alibi Investigations provides licensed, confidential investigative services for individuals, families, and attorneys. We handle matters including infidelity, background checks, and child custody investigations for clients across the state.


Being a Florida private investigator means more than holding a license — it means applying that training to support each client's specific situation.

Our Comprehensive Suite of Investigation Services We Offer In Florida

Infidelity matters are handled with neutral, confidential communication and lawful, assignment-specific methods. When surveillance is appropriate, reporting may include observations, time-stamped photographs or video, and a written summary. Results, legal relevance, and admissibility are not guaranteed.

Fraud-related assignments may involve public-record research, interviews, document review, surveillance, or other lawful fact finding. The scope depends on available information and authorization. The service cannot guarantee loss prevention, identification of a perpetrator, financial recovery, or security.

Florida-Licensed, Sarasota-Based Investigation Services

Alibi Investigations is an attorney-owned Florida agency, license A-3200187, with its only physical office at 1990 Main St, Sarasota. Licensing, confidential communication, lawful methods, a clear written scope, and factual reporting are the primary trust signals. A weapons license is not advertised as a service benefit, and no security, quality, or investigative outcome is guaranteed.

Your Solution to Personal and Corporate Background Investigations

Background research may be available for personal, legal, tenancy, vendor, or employment-related purposes when the requester has a lawful basis. Research may use public records, authorized databases, client-supplied information, and appropriate verification steps. Employment, credit, tenant, and other consumer-report uses require a documented permissible purpose, any required written authorization and notices, and compliance with the FCRA and applicable law. Alibi Investigations does not promise a complete profile, unrestricted financial or private-account information, workplace safety, or a business outcome.

Lawful Methods and Factual Reporting

Each assignment uses methods appropriate to the lawful purpose, available authorization, location, timing, and feasibility. Investigators may use surveillance from lawful vantage points, public or authorized research, witness outreach, and other permitted fact-finding methods. Alibi Investigations does not promise hidden information, complete answers, guaranteed results, or access beyond what law and authorization allow.

Questions About Florida Private Investigation Services

  • What are the primary risks associated with working as a private investigator in Florida?

    The primary risks include physical danger from surveillance or confrontations, legal liabilities such as privacy violations, and potential harm to reputation due to sensitive case matters. Additionally, PIs may face unpredictable working conditions and threats from those involved in their investigations.

  • How does a strong work ethic contribute to the success of a private investigator in Florida?

    A strong work ethic ensures thoroughness in investigations, commitment to clients confidentiality and trust, adherence to legal standards, persistence in challenging situations, and a professional approach that can lead to repeat business and referrals within the competitive industry.

  • What measures can Florida private investigators take to mitigate the risk of cyberattacks?

    To mitigate cyber risks, PIs should employ robust cybersecurity practices such as using strong passwords and two-factor authentication, regularly updating software and hardware defenses against malware and hacking attempts, encrypting confidential data both at rest and in transit, educating themselves about common cyber threats like phishing schemes or ransomware attacks, and possibly hiring IT security professionals for guidance.

  • How do licensing requirements in Florida help maintain high work ethics among private investigators?

    Licensing requirements ensure that only qualified individuals practice as PIs. They must adhere to state-defined ethical guidelines that cover aspects like honesty with clients, maintaining confidentiality, operating within the law at all times (e.g., no trespassing), avoiding conflicts of interest. Violating these principles could result in license suspension or revocation by the states regulatory body.
