Private Investigation in Portage
Portage sits just south of Kalamazoo, with busy commercial corridors and commuter routes where discreet surveillance can establish where someone actually spends their time. Investigative support is offered across the county to counsel, to claims organizations, to agencies and to businesses, and directly to private clients. I am Eugene Butler, a licensed private investigator working out of Flint, and I take cases across Kalamazoo County, including Portage and neighboring Kalamazoo.
Criminal-defense investigation and civil litigation support are offered to attorneys with matters in the county courts, and witness location where a file depends on a person who has become hard to find. Skip tracing is offered where someone has moved on without notice, and asset searches where a judgment has to be collected or a financial picture understood. Background investigation is offered to employers and landlords, so an expensive mistake is avoided before it happens.
Offered directly to individuals: surveillance and domestic matters, worked with patience and no judgment, and child-custody documentation where an arrangement is not being honored. Every matter is handled confidentially, and an honest answer about whether an investigation is worth the money comes first. Call or text the Butler Investigations office at 810-513-0662 and describe what has to be established.
