Private Investigation in Leelanau County
Leelanau County is second homes along the shoreline and cottages passed down for generations, on a quiet seasonal rhythm that can hide as much as it reveals. When you need to know what's really going on, I'm Eugene Butler, a licensed private investigator who works cases throughout the Leelanau peninsula. Investigative support is offered here to counsel, to claims organizations, to agencies and to businesses, and directly to private clients.
Asset searches are offered where what someone actually owns is the question — a divorce, a business split, or a decision to extend serious trust. Witness location and skip tracing are offered where a person has lost touch or doesn't want to be found: an old contact, a witness, or a relative connected to an estate. Background investigation is offered on partners, caretakers, contractors, and anyone whose past matters before they are let into a home or a business, and civil litigation support and records research are offered to firms with matters in the county courts.
Offered directly to individuals: discreet surveillance in a domestic matter, with a documented, factual record rather than speculation. This office is based in Flint and travels the full state, so the Traverse City region and the Leelanau shoreline, out past Leland and the small villages scattered across the peninsula, are well within range. Everything is confidential and handled without judgment. If something here doesn't sit right, call or text the Butler Investigations office at 810-513-0662 and describe what has to be established.
