Expert Civil Litigation Investigative Support in Reno, Nevada
Professional investigative services for attorneys, courts, and legal teams handling complex civil disputes in Washoe County and throughout Northern Nevada.
In civil litigation, the difference between a favorable verdict and a costly dismissal often depends on the quality and admissibility of evidence presented. Olson Investigations provides Reno’s most comprehensive investigative support for attorneys and legal teams managing high-stakes civil disputes. With over 20 years of experience as a Nevada PILB licensed investigator and a proven track record in Washoe County courts, we deliver the field intelligence, expert witness testimony, and evidentiary foundation that strengthens your case from discovery through trial.
How We Support Civil Litigation Attorneys
Effective civil litigation requires more than legal theory it demands proof. We provide the litigation support infrastructure that allows legal teams to negotiate from strength or present an airtight case at trial. Our investigators work as an extension of your legal team, applying decades of courtroom experience to gather admissible evidence that withstands cross-examination.
Witness Location & Credibility Assessment
Critical witnesses can disappear, change their testimony, or prove unreliable under scrutiny. Our skip tracing specialists locate elusive witnesses across Nevada and beyond, while our background investigation team conducts comprehensive credibility assessments before deposition. We identify prior inconsistent statements, undisclosed relationships, and potential impeachment evidence that can shift the trajectory of your case. Our witness location services leverage advanced databases and field investigation techniques to find individuals who may be avoiding legal proceedings.
Comprehensive Asset Tracing & Hidden Asset Investigations
Winning the judgment represents only half the battle in civil litigation. Collection requires knowing where the assets are. Our investigators specialize in asset tracing, identifying hidden bank accounts, real estate holdings under corporate shells, and tangible assets including vehicles, aircraft, and high-value equipment. We conduct domestic and offshore asset searches, trace property transfers designed to evade judgment, and provide detailed financial profiles that inform settlement negotiations. Pre-litigation asset searches help attorneys determine whether defendants possess sufficient resources to justify proceeding to trial.
Strategic Surveillance & Digital Forensics
Whether documenting a breach of contract, verifying business operations, or challenging a fraudulent personal injury claim, our surveillance team captures high-definition evidence using advanced technology and proven techniques. We also offer digital forensic services to recover deleted communications, analyze metadata, and secure electronic evidence that often provides the decisive factor in modern litigation. Our surveillance capabilities extend throughout Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and Northern Nevada.

Pre-Litigation Intelligence
Before filing a lawsuit, smart attorneys conduct due diligence to assess whether the case justifies the investment. Our pre-litigation asset searches identify whether a defendant possesses sufficient assets to satisfy a potential judgment. This intelligence allows you to evaluate whether a case is judgment-proof or if the anticipated recovery justifies proceeding to trial. Early investigation also helps identify additional defendants, uncover insurance coverage, and strengthen your client’s position before the first filing.
