A Coconut Grove Firm That Knows the Grove
Coconut Grove represents historic Miami at its finest, defined by its winding roads, deep-water access, and old-money estates. The landscape shifts from the bustling yachting hubs around Dinner Key Marina and the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club to the highly secluded residential lanes of North and Center Grove. Because the Grove is a tight-knit community where neighbors talk and out-of-place vehicles are instantly spotted, conducting surveillance along the narrow streets off Main Highway requires intense discretion and specialized local knowledge. Our caseload here frequently involves high-net-worth divorce, hidden maritime assets, and sensitive child custody matters.
Having operated right next door in Coral Gables for nearly 40 years, we know exactly how to navigate the Grove’s unique environment without drawing attention. Whether you are a litigating attorney requiring pristine video evidence before trial, a parent needing absolute certainty about what happens during a child’s visitation, or a spouse who has stopped getting straight answers, you get a licensed investigator who listens without judgment. We handle the case personally, securing the facts while keeping the entire investigation completely off the neighborhood radar.

Common Questions About Hiring a Private Investigator
What are private investigator rates in Coconut Grove?
Most Grove cases are billed by the hour, and the total depends on what the work takes. Surveillance near the water or a busy street like Grand Avenue can run a few days. A background or asset check is a smaller flat fee. We put the price in writing before we start, with nothing hidden in the fine print and no charges you did not approve.
Is hiring a private investigator legal in Florida?
Yes. The state licenses every private investigator in Florida, so check that your firm is current and in good standing before you hire. Ours has been since 1985, under license #A3200002. Working inside the law is the only way your evidence stays good enough to use if a Grove case lands in court.
Can a private investigator track a car or listen to calls?
No. We cannot put a tracker on a car you do not own, listen in on a phone, or open someone's private accounts. Those shortcuts are illegal and would sink your case fast. We get our proof the right way, on video and in public records, so it stands up if a judge ever sees it and the other side cannot get it tossed.
What makes a private investigator worth hiring?
A real Florida license you can verify, current insurance, and a clear written agreement come first. Then ask a simple question: who is doing the work? At Wasser, a senior investigator runs your case from the first phone call through the final report. You never get handed off to a stranger or a call center.
Do you work with attorneys?
Yes. A big part of our work supports law firms. We handle surveillance, personal injury and negligent security cases, signed statements, and background and asset searches across Miami-Dade. Firms outside Florida often hire us as their boots on the ground for Grove and greater Miami matters that need someone who knows the local courts.
Will you keep my case private?
Yes. We keep your name and your case to ourselves and never say who hired us. The Grove is a small community where word travels between the cafes on Commodore Plaza and the marinas, so discretion matters even more here. Whether you are an attorney or a worried parent, protecting your privacy is part of the work.
