Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers, before you call.
Common questions from attorneys, insurers, and businesses considering an investigation. Anything not covered here: call (786) 375-1446 or request a consultation.
What services does APB Intelligence provide?
Surveillance investigations, claims investigation, background checks and asset searches, skip tracing and claimant location, statement and witness verification, and courtroom-ready documentation. Each engagement is scoped to the matter at hand. Full descriptions are on our Services page.
Who does APB Intelligence work with?
Law firms, insurers, SIU teams, and businesses that need the facts of a matter established independently. Most engagements are retained through counsel, and our work product is prepared accordingly.
Is APB Intelligence licensed and insured?
Yes. APB Intelligence LLC is a Florida-licensed private investigative agency (License #A-3600163), and principal investigator Enrique Riguero is a Florida-licensed private investigator (License #C-3600262). The agency is insured.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Miami’s Brickell district and investigate across all of Florida: Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, Southwest Florida, and the Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville metros. Multi-county and multi-venue work is coordinated from Miami. See the full list on our Contact page.
Are inquiries and investigations confidential?
Yes. Every inquiry is treated as confidential, and we never disclose the existence of an engagement. When retained through counsel, our file is prepared under attorney work-product discipline from day one.
Do you conduct investigations in Spanish?
Yes. Our investigators work natively in English and Spanish. Interviews, recorded statements, and witness canvassing are handled directly, with no translator in the chain.
How quickly can an investigation begin?
We respond to every inquiry within one business day and can scope a matter the same day you call. Depending on scope, fieldwork typically begins within days.
Is surveillance legal in Florida?
Yes, when conducted lawfully. Licensed investigators may observe and document activity from public vantage points, without trespass and without audio interception. Every APB operation is scoped against Chapter 493, Florida Statutes, and reviewed for acquisition risk before anyone deploys.
Can your findings be used in court?
Our work is documented for exactly that purpose: time-stamped video, contemporaneous GPS-referenced activity logs, preserved chain of custody, and reports written to withstand scrutiny. Our investigators are prepared to testify to their findings. Findings are reported as observed, whether they support or contradict the assumptions a file began with.
What does an investigation cost, and how do I start?
Cost depends on the scope of the matter. A consultation establishes what can be determined, the approach, and an estimate before any work begins. To start, call (786) 375-1446 or submit the consultation form. Describe the matter in general terms; no privileged detail is required at intake.
Have a question we did not cover?
Ask it directly. We respond within one business day, in confidence.
