SPECIALIZED SERVICES
- FIRST-PERSON TESTIMONY
- Sometimes the most difficult evidence to acquire is first-person testimony. In their own words, the suspect or person of interest describes the crime, recorded on audio or video by one of our agents. In Ohio, only one person has to know their conversation is being recorded. Our investigators invite them to open up and share what they did in their own words on a fully admissible recording. If your case is light on evidence, this really is a great way to nail that win. Ohio Rev. Code § 2933.52
- SURREPTITIOUS RECORDINGS
- Maybe our investigators don’t feel like the person of interest will open up and share with them about the crime. That’s when recording third-person testimonies become valuable. We’ve had suspects who have evaded the law for decades yet will “spill the tea” about what they did to a favorite bartender or family member they can trust. We capture the evidence and provide it to attorneys who will present it in court.
- DOCUMENT FORENSICS
- Hundreds? Thousands of pages? You may have banker’s boxes full of medical, financial, or tax documents but have no idea if any of the documents hold the information you need to support your theory. Our team will pour over the documents, looking for the hidden bits that you need to identify exactly what happened and by whom.
- BACKGROUND CHECKS
- You’d be surprised how much doesn’t get covered in a standard background check. Often checks are run by a single agency with a scope of a single county. So, as long as that person didn’t commit a crime in the county they intend to work, they will come up clear. Not so with our background checks. Our team combines state, federal, and international records to piece together the whole story of an individual or company.
- INVESTIGATION
- We are specially trained in investigations that often require undercover work and gathering evidence from various sources. With our experience in criminal justice, we can quickly identify suspicious activities and behaviors, which can help you identify exactly what happened and by whom. With the evidence gathered from our investigations, we can provide solid proof of wrongdoings or clear a person or company from suspicions.

Attorney at Law
When my husband of 13 years began staying late at work, I became suspicious. His demeanor changed, and he started working out. I asked Jack to investigate and he tracked my husband’s vehicle to arrive at my younger sister’s house. Jack helped me to collect the information I needed to leave my husband, and make sure that I was taken care of. Thanks Jack!

Jack’s pursuit of Justice is unmatched. When he heard my story he not only believed me but he helped me find a lawyer that would allow my voice to be heard. It took me over 14 years to be heard that my ex husband was grooming my daughter’s. Many times the court failed me. It always came to the point of me just being a vindictive ex wife that just wanted revenge in a divorce setting.
With Jack’s help my lawyer was able to prove that my ex husband was a groomer and had been grooming my daughters for many years. Jack’s persistence speaks volumes to his character and his desire to find Justice. I not only respect Jack as a person but I also consider him a friend. Thank you Jack for believing in me as well as my daughter.

I have used Upper Valley Investigative Services in a number of post-conviction investigations involving major felonies, including cases where innocence is claimed. The work has always been prompt, thorough and, most importantly in post-conviction work, objective. If you want to find out what happened, this is who you want.
