Private Investigator Directory

This database includes contact information for NC private investigators available to work on criminal cases. The list was compiled based upon the investigator’s work on prior cases or request to be added, and is not based on any assessment of whether an investigator is qualified or is the appropriate investigator for a specific case. If you are searching for an investigator for your case, you must do your own due diligence to evaluate the investigator. If you need additional information about an investigator in the directory, please contact Beth Winston (bwinstonpi@gmail.com).

If you need a mitigation specialist, please contact Vicky McGee (vickylmcgee@gmail.com) to find someone on the mitigation roster who is an appropriate fit for your case.
