General Questions About Working With Immaculate International
What types of assignments does Immaculate International handle?
Immaculate International primarily handles pre-litigation and litigation-support intelligence assignments in matters where financial exposure, credibility, and evidentiary risk must be clearly understood before legal strategy is pursued.
These assignments commonly include:
This non-litigation work is designed to inform executive decision-making, partnership evaluation, internal controls, and strategic planning — not to replace legal counsel or function as ongoing compliance oversight.
How is your firm different from a “typical PI agency”?
Immaculate International is run through a licensed private investigations firm (Immaculate Investigations, LLC) but functions as a boutique private intelligence & risk advisory firm, not a volume-based PI shop.
We emphasize:
Is everything kept confidential?
Outside of a court order, all inquiries, consultations, evidence, communication, and results are handled with strict confidentiality and legal compliance.
Do you work with attorneys?
Yes. We frequently support attorneys with documentation, witness interviews, due diligence, fraud analysis, and complex case preparation. Many clients also come to us independently and later bring their attorney into the process.
Do you accept "walk ins"?
