Surveillance

Discreet, Documented, Court-Ready

Surveillance is the foundation of most investigative casework. A licensed investigator observes and documents a subject's activity, movements, and interactions in public or otherwise legally observable settings, producing timestamped video and photo evidence built to withstand scrutiny.

What's Included

• Static and mobile surveillance, on foot or by vehicle

• Single-day, multi-day, or multi-week observation windows

• Continuous timestamped video and photo documentation

• Detailed written activity logs alongside the visual record

• Coordination with your attorney on evidentiary standards

Who This Is For

• Family law clients documenting a spouse or co-parent's conduct

• Insurance companies and defense attorneys verifying a claim

• Employers investigating on-the-job or workers'-comp concerns

• Individuals who need documentation of a specific, defined concern

Meriton Risk Partners provides surveillance services across Hendersonville, TN and the surrounding Sumner County area.

See Our Process for This Service

A confidential scoping call establishes what you need documented and why.

A surveillance plan is built around the subject's known schedule, locations, and routines.

Licensed in-house investigators — never subcontractors — conduct the fieldwork.

Findings are compiled into a timestamped report with supporting video and photo evidence.

Infidelity & Cheating Investigations

Suspicion on its own rarely resolves anything — it just sits there. An infidelity investigation replaces suspicion with a documented factual record, giving you clarity before a difficult conversation or a legal filing, built entirely on lawful observation.

What's Included

• Discreet surveillance of a partner's activity and whereabouts

• Verification (or ruling out) of a suspected relationship

• Documentation of time, location, and companionship patterns

• A confidential consultation before any fieldwork begins

• Coordination with a family law attorney when a case is heading toward divorce

Who This Is For

• Spouses or partners considering separation or divorce

• Individuals who want facts before confronting a partner

• Attorneys building a family law case file that needs documented conduct

Hendersonville's lake-community and equestrian-property households generate a steady share of Sumner County's domestic caseload, and Meriton Risk Partners has built its infidelity practice specifically around that clientele — cases where discretion matters as much as the evidence itself.

From Indian Lake Village to the neighborhoods off Vietnam Veterans Boulevard, Meriton Risk Partners plans surveillance around the real rhythms of a fast-growing suburb, not a generic template.

See Our Process for This Service

A confidential intake conversation covers your concerns, timeline, and goals.

A case plan is built around the days, locations, and patterns you've already noticed.

Discreet field observation is conducted without alerting the subject.

A factual, dated report is delivered directly to you — not shared with anyone else.

Skip Tracing & Locate Services

Finding People Who Don't Want to Be Found — Or Just Moved

Most locate cases aren't dramatic disappearances — they're someone who changed jobs, moved apartments, or switched numbers without updating every record that referenced the old information. Skip tracing combines licensed database access with field verification to find a current, confirmed location.

What's Included

• Database searches across address, employment, vehicle, and utility records

• Field verification of leads before an address is reported as current

• Multi-jurisdiction and cross-county searches

• Direct coordination with process servers once a location is confirmed

• Searches for debtors, missing persons, witnesses, heirs, and absent parties

Who This Is For

• Attorneys who need to locate a hard-to-find party for service

• Collections agencies and creditors pursuing a judgment

• Landlords and property managers tracking down a former tenant

• Families reconnecting with relatives, or estate administrators locating heirs

Meriton Risk Partners handles skip tracing & locate services work throughout Sumner County, alongside its other core services.

See Our Process for This Service

Intake gathers every known identifying detail — name, DOB, last address, employer, phone.

A licensed database search surfaces candidate addresses and records.

Leads are verified in the field rather than reported at face value.

A confirmed, current address is delivered, ready for service or direct contact.

Corporate Investigations

Protecting Your Business Before a Problem Becomes a Crisis

What's Included

• Vendor, contractor, and business-partner due diligence

• Pre-transaction and pre-partnership corporate verification

• Corporate asset, filing, and registered-agent record review

Background Checks

A background check draws on criminal, civil, employment, and public records to build a factual picture of a person's history — used by employers, landlords, and individuals who need more certainty before making a decision with real consequences.

What's Included

• Criminal and civil court record checks across relevant jurisdictions

• Employment and education verification

• Identity verification and address history

• Asset and property record review

• Relationship, tenant, or new-business-partner background checks

Criminal Defense Investigations

Building the Facts Your Defense Needs

Criminal defense investigations give defense attorneys and their clients an independent, fact-based counterpart to the prosecution's case — locating witnesses, verifying alibis, and documenting evidence the defense needs to build its own record.

What's Included

• Witness identification, location, and interviews

• Alibi verification and timeline reconstruction

• Crime scene documentation and photography

• Records and evidence review in coordination with defense counsel

• Support locating and, where appropriate, serving defense witnesses

Findings — favorable or not — are reported directly and factually to the defense team.

Ongoing support is available as a case develops toward trial or resolution.

Child Custody Investigations

Fact-Based Documentation for the Cases That Matter Most

Custody disputes turn on specific, documented facts far more than on competing accounts. A custody investigation documents home environment, parental conduct, and a co-parent's stated circumstances factually, leaving the legal argument to the attorneys.

What's Included

• Home environment and cohabitation documentation

• Observation of parenting conduct in public and observable settings

• Verification of a co-parent's stated employment, residence, or relationships

• Detailed, dated factual reporting built for custody proceedings

Meriton Risk Partners handles child custody investigations work throughout Sumner County, alongside its other core services.

See Our Process for This Service

A confidential consultation identifies the specific custody-related concerns at issue.

A documentation plan is built around those concerns rather than open-ended monitoring.

Field observation is conducted lawfully and discreetly.

A factual report is delivered to you or directly to your attorney.

Fraud Investigations

Verifying Claims, Protecting What's Legitimate

Fraud investigations verify whether a claim, transaction, or representation holds up — insurance and workers'-comp claims, financial disputes, and business or contract fraud all fall under this umbrella, built on documentation rather than assumption.

What's Included

• Insurance and workers'-compensation claim verification

• Surveillance of claimed injuries, limitations, or circumstances

• Financial and asset-concealment investigations

• Business and contract fraud verification

• Detailed reporting built for insurers, attorneys, or court use

Who This Is For

• Employers facing a questionable workers'-comp claim

• Individuals or businesses investigating a financial or contract dispute

Meriton Risk Partners regularly handles fraud investigations cases throughout Hendersonville, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, Portland, White House, Millersville, and greater Sumner County.

A claim or case review identifies the specific facts in question.

Findings are compiled into a factual report — not a legal conclusion.

The report supports your own claims decision, defense, or legal filing.

General Investigations

When Your Situation Doesn't Fit a Standard Category

Not every investigative need fits neatly into a single category. General investigations cover custom-scoped fact-finding — verifying a story, researching a situation, or simply figuring out what kind of investigation actually applies to your circumstances.

What's Included

• Custom-scoped fact-finding for situations that don't fit a standard category

• Records research across public and licensed sources

• Witness or informant interviews
