Doral Money Moves Through Companies, and Companies Move Across Borders
Doral is the business capital of Latin America’s Miami. Freight forwarders, customs brokers, import-export houses, and family businesses with a parent company in Caracas, Bogotá, or Panama City fill the office parks and warehouses west of the airport. Wealth here sits in LLCs, foreign corporations, trusts, and real estate titled three layers deep. When a divorce, a judgment, or a deal turns on what someone actually owns, a database printout is where the work starts, and it is nowhere near where it ends.
Wasser Investigations has traced assets and pulled records for Miami-Dade attorneys and families since 1985. Travis Wasser runs each search himself, cross-checks it against county, state, federal, and foreign filings, and follows the paper into the shells where Doral assets tend to sit.
Two Kinds of Clients. One Kind of Answer.
Discovery Is Only as Good as What You Know to Ask For
Family law attorneys use us to find the warehouse titled to a Delaware LLC before the financial affidavit is signed. Collection attorneys use us to locate real property and business interests before spending money on a writ. Litigators use us to size up an opposing party before the demand goes out.
You Need to Know Before You Commit
A new partner, a customer asking for net-60 terms, a contractor bidding on a build-out, a fiancé with a past in another country. We check the record so you are not the last to find out.
Background Checks
Criminal history
Miami-Dade, statewide Florida, and federal court records, plus checks in other states and, where available, other countries where the subject has lived. We read the case files, because an arrest with a dropped charge means something different from a conviction.
Civil litigation
Lawsuits, judgments, liens, evictions, and injunctions. A freight company that has been sued by four vendors tells you something about the fifth.
Identity and history
Verified name, dates of birth, addresses going back decades, relatives, and known associates. Useful when a subject has lived under a different spelling or a different passport.
Employment and credentials
Verification of degrees, licenses, and work history. We call the school and the board, in the U.S. and abroad.
Reputation and online presence
Public social media, news, regulatory complaints, and forum activity, preserved with dates before the subject cleans it up.
Asset Searches
Real property
Deeds, mortgages, and tax records across every county where the subject has a footprint, plus LLCs and trusts holding property on the subject’s behalf. A house in Doral Isles titled to a Panamanian corporation still shows up.
Business interests
Sunbiz filings, officer and registered agent connections, DBAs, and out-of-state and foreign entities. We map the web of companies that connects back to one person, which in Doral often runs through a customs broker, a freight forwarder, and a holding company in another country.
Boats, aircraft, and vehicles
Vessel registrations through the FWC and Coast Guard documentation, aircraft through the FAA registry, and registered and titled vehicles.
Foreign holdings
Corporate registries, property records, and court filings in Latin America and elsewhere, through vetted correspondents. We are candid about what each jurisdiction does and does not make public.
Bank and brokerage accounts
Federal law limits how these can be located. We work within it: public records, litigation history, subpoena support, and coordination with your attorney’s forensic accountant. We do not use pretexting. Any investigator promising account balances without a subpoena is violating the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and putting your case at risk.
The Report
- A written findings report with every source cited and the underlying records attached
- Property, vessel, and business schedules formatted for attachment to a motion
- An entity map for multi-company subjects
- An assessment of what is verified, what is probable, and what needs a subpoena
- Investigator availability for affidavit or testimony on how the records were obtained
Questions About Background and Asset Searches
How is this different from an online background check site?
Those sites scrape databases that are often wrong, stale, or missing court records entirely, and they are useless for anyone whose history is outside the country. We pull the actual filings, verify identity so two people with the same name do not get confused, and read the documents.
Can you find assets my spouse moved out of the country?
Often, yes. Property, companies, and vehicles leave public records in most countries. We work with correspondents who know the local registries. For bank accounts, we identify where they likely exist so your attorney can pursue them through the courts.
Is it legal to run a background check on someone in Florida?
Yes, for lawful purposes such as litigation, personal safety, or a business decision. Employment and tenant screening carry extra rules under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and we structure those searches to comply.
How long does a search take?
Most domestic background checks come back in two to five business days. Asset searches that cross state or national lines take one to three weeks.
What does it cost?
Most searches are a flat fee quoted in writing before we start. Multi-entity and international asset work is estimated by the hour.
