Miami Private InvestigationsHiring a private investigator is a big decision, usually made during a stressful moment — a relationship in doubt, a lawsuit, a hire you're unsure about, a person you need to find. You deserve a professional who is properly licensed in Florida, experienced, and completely confidential. That's exactly what we do, in every one of Florida's 67 counties.
Miami Private Investigations is a licensed Florida agency (FDACS #A1800135) founded in 2018 and led by Taylor Wasser, with a team drawn from former law enforcement and U.S. military backgrounds. We're trusted by South Florida's top attorneys, insurance carriers, businesses, and private clients — because we deliver evidence that stands up when it matters.
What a Florida private investigator does
A private investigator gathers facts and documents them so you — or your attorney — can act on solid ground. Good investigators don't guess; they produce admissible, well-documented evidence: dated surveillance video, verified records, and clear written reports. The difference between a hunch and a result is documentation to legal standards, and that's where an experienced, licensed firm earns its fee.
Our investigators combine real-world tactical experience with modern investigative technology — surveillance craft, open-source intelligence (OSINT), records research, and courtroom-ready reporting. Every case is handled with courtroom standards in mind, whether the audience is a judge, an insurance adjuster, or you sitting at your kitchen table needing peace of mind.

How working with a Florida private investigator works
Hiring an investigator shouldn't feel like a leap of faith. Our process is transparent and built to protect you from the very first call:
- Free, confidential consultation. You tell us what's happening; we listen, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly whether an investigation makes sense — and when it doesn't. No cost, no pressure.
- A clear plan and written estimate. Before any work begins you get a defined scope and a written estimate. No open-ended meters, no surprise charges — you decide with the numbers in front of you.
- The investigation. Our licensed investigators do the work — surveillance, records research, OSINT, and interviews — documenting everything to legal standards as they go, with updates appropriate to your case.
- A court-ready report. You receive a clear written report with time-stamped evidence — video, photographs, and verified records — organized so you or your attorney can act on it immediately.

Evidence that holds up in Florida courts
Anyone can take a photo. Producing evidence a Florida court will accept is a different skill. Our work is documented to legal standards from the first minute: continuous, time-stamped surveillance video; a clear chain of what was observed, when, and where; and written reports your attorney can actually use. We're careful to stay within the law — no trespass, no wiretapping, no impersonating law enforcement — because evidence gathered improperly can be thrown out and hurt your case.
That discipline is why attorneys and insurance carriers rely on us for litigation support, and why private clients trust us with sensitive personal matters.
Licensed under Florida law (Chapter 493)
Florida is one of the states that requires private investigators and agencies to be licensed. Under Chapter 493 of the Florida Statutes, licensing is administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), Division of Licensing. Working with an unlicensed investigator can put your case — and any evidence gathered — at risk.
How to choose a Florida private investigator
Not every investigator is equal, and the wrong choice can quietly cost you your case. Before you hire anyone in Florida, confirm five things:
- A verifiable FDACS license. Ask for the agency and investigator license numbers and check them against the FDACS Division of Licensing. Unlicensed work can make your evidence unusable.
- Real insurance. A properly run agency carries liability coverage. If they hesitate to confirm it, keep looking.
- Relevant experience. Surveillance, courtroom testimony, and fraud work are different disciplines — ask who will actually handle your case and what their background is.
- A written estimate. Reputable firms scope the work and quote it in writing before starting. Anyone who won't is a risk to your budget and your case.
- Genuine discretion. Confidentiality isn't a nice-to-have in this field — it's the job. Your investigator should never reveal that you retained them.
