Jim who owns the company was great to work with. He was very prompt with his findings of what I needed. This company is totally legit and professional and I would recommend them to anyone else who needs a private investigator.
Do you suspect hidden recording devices or wiretaps? You need a discreet professional sweep right away.

If someone seems to know private details they shouldn't, a hidden device may be the reason. We've worked cases in Siesta Key and Longboat Key. High-value divorces led to one spouse planting a recorder. They hid it in a car or office. Business owners in downtown Sarasota have called us after sensitive deals leaked before contracts were signed. Electronic surveillance has become easier and cheaper to buy, which means more people use it without thinking twice[1]. Don't wait until more information gets out. The longer a device stays hidden, the more it can cost you in business deals, legal cases, or personal safety.
A spouse or ex-partner may plant a device during a divorce or custody dispute. We check phones, vents, outlets, and furniture.
Leaked deals or strategy often mean someone is listening. We sweep conference rooms, offices, and company vehicles.
GPS trackers are common in contentious relationships. We inspect undercarriages, wheel wells, and interior panels.
Spyware apps can record calls and messages without you knowing. We review devices for signs of monitoring software.
Retirees who split time between Sarasota and northern homes sometimes find devices left by a scammer or ex-partner. We check both properties if needed.
Attorneys often request a sweep before depositions or mediation. We document findings for use in your case.
We're owned and run by retired law enforcement, so we know how to find things others miss. Waiting to act lets a hidden device keep collecting private information. Our team moves fast, works quietly, and never draws attention to your case.
If you suspect someone is listening, don't wait another day. Call now and talk to a licensed investigator about your situation.
We keep the process simple so you know exactly what to expect from the first call.
We talk with you privately about what's happening and where you want us to check. This helps us plan the sweep before we arrive.
Our investigator checks phones, vehicles, rooms, and electronics using professional detection tools. We look in places most people never think to check.
You'll get a clear report of what we found, with photos if needed. We can also advise on next steps, including legal options if a device turns up.
Pricing depends on the size of your space. It also depends on how many devices we check for signal. We can sweep a single car or a full office suite. Homes in Siesta Key or Lakewood Ranch often take longer due to size or gated access. We give you an upfront quote before we start, so there are no surprises on your bill. Electronic eavesdropping tools have gotten more advanced over the years, which can affect how long a thorough sweep takes[1].

Professional and very thorough- they helped me find exactly what I was looking for.
The investigator that helped my family was not only professional and helpful but also kind under stressful circumstances. Our long distance from the location we hoped to find our loved one made it important to have is trustworthy commitment and stellar support. I highly recommend this agency for its competence and empathy in crisis.
I had the absolute best experience at Sarasota Investigations. I employed Jim to find out facts about an associate and he did a truly amazing job. He kept me informed at every step of the investigation and found out things that I could never have received on my own. I can recommend him highly to anyone seeking the truth about an associate or an experience. It was truly wonderful!!
10/10 would recommend, very helpful and was able to do a deep dive and get me the information i needed, all in a very timely manner. Overall it was money well spent!
Great experience! He was able to find out exactly what i wanted to know, did a very thorough investigation and was able to get the answers i needed. Would recommend to anyone!
Sarasota Private Investigations is by far one in a million. The professionalism, punctuality, pricing and communication are top notch. Our investigator went above and beyond to provide what we were looking for. Whether it was in the middle of the night, the day or evening hours - he did not disappoint and did the job well superseding our expectations.
With his thorough report and date and time stamped picture evidence, my son won his case as the opposing party knew they could not refute the evidence he provided for us. The opposing party was willing to make a deal which was in my son's favor.
Hands down 100% recommend.
The amount of detail and dedication put into finding someone I am attempting to serve, amazes me at every turn. I knew this was the right place to go to when I saw the investigator image. This establishment has real people, who want to help you as much as you need the help. This is my first time trying to serve someone, but after all the hoops and hurdles I have had to jump through, this place has helped me in more ways than one.
The investigator did a fantastic job, kept me in the loop and provided updates. Will definitely be using his services if needed in the future.
Here are answers to questions Sarasota clients ask us most often.
Most sweeps run between $250 and $1,200, depending on size and scope. A single car check costs less than a full office sweep. We'll give you an exact quote before starting any work.
Most sweeps take one to three hours. Larger homes or offices in places like Palmer Ranch can take longer. We won't rush the job just to save time.
You can buy a basic detector online, but it often misses hidden or advanced devices. Our equipment and training catch what store-bought tools can't. A professional sweep gives you real answers.
Most clients only need one sweep per situation, like a divorce or business dispute. But if you suspect ongoing monitoring, a follow-up sweep every few months makes sense. We can set a schedule based on your case.
We often schedule same-day or next-day appointments. If your situation feels urgent, call now and we'll move quickly. Our team works around Sarasota's busy snowbird season too.
Common signs include others knowing private details, strange sounds on calls, or odd battery drain on devices. Finding small unfamiliar objects in your car or home is another red flag. If any of this sounds familiar, it's worth a professional check.
Yes, we provide written documentation that attorneys can use in legal proceedings. Our investigators are also available for depositions or testimony. This is common in Sarasota divorce and business dispute cases.
