Charlevoix County Private Investigator

Charlevoix County is resort and second-home country, where lives are split between here and somewhere else, and that split is often where the real story hides. Investigative support is offered across the county to counsel, to claims organizations, to agencies and to businesses, and directly to private clients. I'm Eugene Butler, a licensed Michigan private investigator working out of Flint, and I take cases throughout Charlevoix County — the city of Charlevoix on the lake, the Boyne and East Jordan area, and even out to Beaver Island when a matter calls for it.

Criminal-defense investigation and civil litigation support are offered to attorneys with matters in the county courts: locating and interviewing witnesses, documenting a scene, and researching the records a file rests on. Insurance and fraud investigation is offered to carriers, adjusters, and employers where a seasonal claim warrants a documented second look. Witness location and skip tracing are offered where a matter turns on someone whose address here is only half the story, and background investigation where an identity or a business association has to be confirmed before a deal or a serious commitment.

Offered directly to individuals: domestic surveillance conducted quietly and documenting only what's actually there, and child-custody work that assembles the factual, well-organized record a parent needs while protecting the child first. Reaching the more remote corners of this county takes planning, and that planning is part of the work rather than something passed on to you. Every conversation and every finding stays confidential, and none of it comes with judgment — only steady, professional work.
