Barefoot Professional Investigations has over 35 years of experience handling sensitive cases.

Frequent and unexpected schedule changes, sudden weight loss/change in appearance, and defensiveness are just a few of the warning signs that your spouse or partner may be cheating on you. Telling the difference between a mundane change and one that signals a bigger problem can be difficult. When they’ve needed clarity the most, thousands of residents throughout The Carolinas have consulted with Barefoot Professional Investigations.

Understanding what a private investigator cannot do is as important as understanding what we can do. Many of the same rules and restrictions that apply to law enforcement apply to private investigators as well; there are legal and ethical lines we cannot, and will not, cross. As a private investigator we cannot:


  • Record or eavesdrop on phone calls
  • Intercept or read mail
  • Break into private property

Why You Should Hire a Private Investigator


There are many things a private investigator can do that would be difficult at best for an individual to do. We can:

  • Examine public records
  • Perform background checks
  • Conduct surveillance


And perform a number of other duties that can uncover important and sensitive information. We draw on over 35 years of experience, often noticing things an untrained observer would miss. We are also able to evaluate evidence with a level of objectivity that is difficult to collect when you’re suspicious of someone’s actions, which is important when the truth matters.

Working with Barefoot Professional Investigations


Our conduct is important for reasons that run deeper than ethics and discretion. Our clients - private individuals, corporations, and lawyers - don’t simply rely on us for information. Oftentimes, what we uncover can become the basis for legal action, therefore needs to stand up in court. That leaves us with no room for error.


We are proud of our strong ethical sense and the results we’ve gotten for thousands of clients over the years. With over three decades of service to The Carolinas, our dedication, knowledge, and deep roots in the area have all made a difference to our clients.

What to Do When the Investigation Ends


We’ve found one thing to be true no matter how different each case may be: When our work is over, yours is just beginning. What you do with the evidence we find is up to you. If we find evidence of infidelity, you may decide your relationship can and should end. Conversely, you may choose to contact an attorney to determine next steps that protect your assets, personal safety, or child custody.


Regardless of what we do or do not uncover, you deserve better than suspicion and uncertainty. Fill out your contact information and any details you’re comfortable sharing and Barefoot Professional Investigations will be in touch for a discreet and confidential consultation.
