Licensed Key Biscayne Private Investigator
Located just across the Rickenbacker Causeway, Wasser Investigations (Florida license #A3200002) has served as Key Biscayne's premier private investigative agency since 1985. We deploy seamlessly from our Coral Gables headquarters on Ponce de Leon Boulevard straight to the island. In an exclusive village where privacy is fiercely guarded and out-of-place visitors are instantly noticed by neighbors and security alike, our operations are strictly covert. A senior investigator manages your file personally, ensuring absolute confidentiality from your first call to the final report.
A Key Biscayne Firm That Stays Discreet
Key Biscayne is a tight-knit enclave defined by ultra-luxury oceanfront towers such as Oceana and the Grand Bay Residences and secluded residential streets stretching from Harbor Drive down to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Because the island is accessed by a single causeway and operates like a small town, standard surveillance tactics fail here. The investigative demands on the Key revolve heavily around family wealth: high-net-worth divorce intelligence, complex offshore asset tracing, and discreet child custody disputes.
Having worked the island for four decades, we know how to navigate the local landscape without triggering the rumor mill. We understand the stringent access protocols of the condo boards along Crandon Boulevard and know how to blend into the local scene at Crandon Park without drawing a second glance. Whether you are a litigating attorney chasing hidden financial assets, or a spouse needing the unvarnished truth without the whole village finding out, you get a licensed investigator who maneuvers past the doormen, maintains strict operational security, and reports solely to you.

Common Questions About Hiring a Private Investigator
How much does a private investigator on Key Biscayne cost?
Island cases are billed by the hour, and the cost follows the work. Discreet surveillance, which takes extra care on an island with one way in, may run several days. Asset and background searches are flat fees. You get a written quote before we begin, with no hidden line items showing up later, and we never bill for hours we did not work.
Are private investigators regulated in Florida?
Yes. Florida requires private investigators to be licensed by the state, and you should confirm a firm is in good standing before hiring. We have been since 1985, under license #A3200002, and belong to the state investigators' association. For the high-net-worth cases out here, that license keeps your evidence admissible.
Can an investigator tap a phone or follow a car with a tracker?
No. A licensed investigator cannot bug a phone, open private accounts, or attach a tracker to a car you do not own. That conduct is illegal and would destroy your case. We build proof through lawful surveillance and records, which is exactly what makes it usable in front of a judge.
How do I choose a discreet, qualified investigator?
Verify the Florida license, confirm insurance, and get the work, fee, and timeline in writing. On a small island, also ask how the firm protects your privacy. At Wasser, a senior investigator runs the case quietly and reports to you alone, never to a front desk or a stranger.
Do you work with attorneys on family and asset cases?
Yes. We support family lawyers and litigators with high-net-worth divorce, custody, and hidden-asset matters. We run surveillance, trace property and accounts through legal means, and take statements. Attorneys hire us when a Key Biscayne case needs both discretion and proof that holds up, especially when one spouse is quietly moving money or property off the island.
Can you keep an investigation discreet here?
Yes, and on Key Biscayne that is the entire point. We never reveal who hired us and we keep every detail to ourselves. We work low-key so neighbors and building staff do not notice, which guards your privacy whether you are a resident or the attorney representing one.
