Private Investigation in Novi
Novi sits at the crossroads of I-96 and M-5, a busy Oakland County city where people are always on the move, which can make it all the harder when the one person you're trying to understand is someone close to you. Investigative support is offered here to counsel, to employers, to businesses and to private clients. I'm Eugene Butler, a licensed private investigator based in Flint, and I regularly work Novi and the surrounding Oakland County area, anchored by the county seat in Pontiac.
Background investigation is offered where someone has to be verified before a relationship, a business deal, or access to a family, and it is handled thoroughly and quietly. Skip tracing and witness location are offered where a person has moved on and can't be located, whether for a debt, a legal matter, or an unanswered question. Civil litigation support and records research are offered to firms with matters in the Oakland County courts at Pontiac.
Offered directly to individuals: discreet surveillance that documents what's genuinely happening, so a decision rests on facts instead of fear. Every matter stays confidential, and you and your situation are treated with respect, never judgment. What's possible and what it will take are stated honestly before you commit to anything. Call or text the Butler Investigations office at 810-513-0662 and describe what has to be established.

Frequently asked
Novi Questions
A licensed investigator can conduct surveillance and document someone's activity in public places where there's no reasonable expectation of privacy. Trespassing, breaking into accounts, and placing a GPS tracker on a vehicle without authorization are illegal and can backfire. Evidence is gathered the right way so it actually helps.
