Kent County Private Investigator

Reaching out to an investigator usually means you've already spent too many nights turning a question over in your head. If that question lives in Kent County — Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Walker, or the smaller towns toward the lakeshore — I can help. I'm Eugene Butler, a licensed private investigator.

My base is in Flint, and I work cases throughout West Michigan from there, including regular trips into Kent County. Distance doesn't change the quality of the work; it just means I plan it well. People come to me here to locate someone who's dropped off the map — an old debtor, a missing relative, a witness an attorney needs for trial — which is skip tracing and witness-location work, and I do a lot of both.

I also run background investigations for people who want to verify a story before they trust it, and I support criminal-defense lawyers in Grand Rapids who need independent legwork their office can't spare. Kent County's courts carry a heavy docket, and a located witness or a verified fact at the right moment can change everything. Whatever brought you here, our conversation is confidential and there's no judgment in it. If you want to know whether I can help with your situation, call or text 810-513-0662 and we'll talk it through.
