A Hollywood Investigator, Not a Call Center
Hollywood’s geography demands a versatile investigative approach, spanning from the heavy tourist traffic of the Broadwalk and the Seminole Hard Rock casino corridor to the quiet, leafy enclaves of Hollywood Lakes and Emerald Hills. This distinct mix generates a steady volume of insurance defense work particularly slip-and-fall claims and worker’s compensation fraud along the hospitality strips as well as the discreet infidelity, custody, and probate investigations required in the residential sectors.
Having worked in Broward County for 40 years, we know the local landscape and the county court system inside and out. We are highly experienced in conducting undetected surveillance everywhere from the bustling shops around ArtsPark at Young Circle to secure residential zones. Whether you are an insurance adjuster requiring definitive video evidence to mitigate a fraudulent claim, or a spouse needing the unvarnished truth before making life-altering decisions, you get a licensed professional who understands the terrain and stays on the case until the facts are secured.

Common Questions About Hiring a Private Investigator
How much do private investigators charge in Hollywood?
In Hollywood, we bill most cases by the hour, and the cost depends on the work. Surveillance on an injury claim or a spouse usually runs a few days, often near the beach or the casino. Background and asset searches are flat fees and cost less. You get a written price before we begin, with no hidden charges later on and no padded time.
Is it legal to hire a PI in Florida?
Yes. Every private investigator in Florida must be licensed by the state, so only hire a firm in good standing. Ours has been since 1985, license #A3200002. For injury and insurance work, lawful surveillance is what keeps your evidence usable in a Broward courtroom rather than thrown out.
Can an investigator track a car or tap a phone?
No. We cannot place a tracker on a car you do not own, tap a phone, or break into private accounts. That conduct is illegal and would sink your case. We document what a claimant or a subject actually does, on lawful video and records, so the proof stands up in front of a judge and the other side cannot strike it.
How do I pick the right investigator?
Look for a current Florida license, real insurance, and a written agreement covering the work, cost, and timeline. Then ask who handles your case day to day. At Wasser, a senior investigator runs it from the first call to the final report, and we are glad to verify our license with the state before you sign.
Do you work with insurance defense and attorneys?
Yes. A good share of our Hollywood work is insurance defense and personal injury. We document what a claimant can really do, take statements, and pull backgrounds across Broward. Defense firms and out-of-state attorneys hire us to get the surveillance that holds up against a questionable claim, then we hand over clean video and a clear report.
Will you keep my case quiet?
Yes. We keep your name and your case confidential and never say who hired us. Whether you are a firm protecting a claim file or a spouse handling a private matter, we treat discretion as part of the work on every Hollywood case, from the busy beach strip to the quiet back streets.
