Licensed Miami Beach Private Investigator
Wasser Investigations (Florida license #A3200002) is a premier, fully licensed private investigative agency serving the entirety of Miami Beach from the tip of South Pointe up to North Beach since 1985. We deploy rapidly from our Coral Gables headquarters on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, just a quick trip across the MacArthur Causeway. Whether you are dealing with corporate liability on Ocean Drive or a sensitive family matter on the Sunset Islands, a senior investigator manages your file personally. We never use call centers, ensuring your case remains entirely out of public view from the first consultation.
A Miami Beach Investigator Who Answers Directly
Miami Beach operates at a relentless pace around the clock. The dense tourist zones along Lincoln Road and the Art Deco Historic District create a non-stop hospitality environment, which naturally drives a high volume of personal injury claims, workers’ compensation surveillance, and corporate defense work. Simultaneously, the ultra-luxury enclaves such as Sunset Harbour, South of Fifth (SoFi), and the waterfront estates along the Venetian and MacArthur causeways frequently require complex asset searches, high-net-worth divorce intelligence, and highly discreet surveillance.
Having operated across the Beach for 40 years, we know the local landscape intimately. We understand the valet stands, the strict security protocols of luxury high-rises, and the quiet side streets off Collins Avenue where subjects assume no one is watching. Whether you are a defense attorney protecting a resort against a fraudulent slip-and-fall claim, or a spouse in a luxury condo who needs the unvarnished truth before making life-altering decisions, you get a licensed professional who knows how to stay unseen in a crowd and delivers court-ready evidence directly to you.

Common Questions About Hiring a Private Investigator
What do private investigators charge in Miami Beach?
Most Beach cases are billed by the hour, and the total depends on the work. Surveillance in a busy tourist area takes extra care and can run a few days. Background and asset searches are flat fees and cost less. We hand you a written price before we start, with no charges sprung on you later.
Do private investigators have to be licensed in Florida?
Yes, as long as the investigator is licensed. The state regulates the profession, so steer clear of anyone without credentials. Wasser Investigations has held Florida license #A3200002 since 1985. For insurance and injury work especially, hiring a licensed firm keeps surveillance clean enough to stand up in court.
Can a private investigator record calls or track a vehicle?
No. We cannot put a tracker on a car you do not own, tap a phone, or break into private accounts. Those shortcuts are illegal and would gut your case. We document what a person can really do, on clear video gathered legally, which is the kind of proof a courtroom accepts.
What should I look for in an investigator?
A current Florida license, real insurance, and a written agreement covering the work, cost, and timeline. Ask who runs your case. At Wasser, a senior investigator owns it from first call to final report. For Beach surveillance, also ask how they stay unseen in a crowded, camera-filled place.
Do you work with insurance defense and law firms?
Yes. A lot of our Beach work is insurance defense and personal injury. We document what a claimant can really do, take witness statements, and pull backgrounds across Miami-Dade. Defense firms and out-of-state attorneys hire us to get the surveillance that turns a denied claim around, then we package the video and report for the file.
Will my case stay out of public view?
Yes. Your name and your case stay with us, and we never reveal who hired us. Whether you are a business protecting a claim file or a resident dealing with a private matter, discretion is part of the work, and we never cut corners on it, on the Beach or anywhere else.
