Stalking & Harassment Documentation
When unwanted contact, boundary violations, or protective order breaches are ongoing, the gap between what you know is happening and what you can prove is the gap that puts you at risk. Law enforcement needs a documented pattern. Courts need a record. A single incident is a complaint. A documented pattern is a case — and cases get acted on.
Our investigators build that record professionally and safely, without involving you in the documentation process in ways that could compromise your position or escalate the situation. We capture what is legally observable: approaches, proximity violations, vehicle appearances, contact attempts — timestamped, logged, and preserved in formats suitable for law enforcement referral, civil proceedings, and protective order hearings.
Stalking and harassment situations require careful handling. The wrong move — a direct confrontation, a gap in documentation, a missed violation — can reset the legal record or escalate the danger. We've worked these cases for decades. We know how to build the evidentiary foundation that gets protective orders extended, strengthened, or enforced — and how to do it without making your situation worse in the process.
