When the Truth Is Missing, We Go Find It

There are moments when assumptions are no longer enough.

You need answers. Clear ones. Verified. Documented. Unshakable. You need to know what happened. Who was involved. What’s being hidden. And whether what you’re being told can withstand scrutiny.

At Potter & Co., our investigative services and due diligence work begin where surface-level reviews end. We operate in silence. We pursue facts others overlook. And we uncover truths that don’t show up in databases or polite conversations.

We’re not here to theorize. We’re here to verify. To give our clients certainty in moments where uncertainty is costly—financially, legally, emotionally.

Our work spans high-stakes fraud inquiries, wrongful death investigations, missing person cases, executive background due diligence, internal misconduct probes, and real-time surveillance operations. The one common thread: every case we handle has consequence.

In wrongful death investigations, we help families and attorneys when the official explanation feels incomplete. Sometimes, there are inconsistencies in timelines. Other times, potential negligence or third-party misconduct was overlooked. We review scene evidence, reexamine medical or accident reports, locate unspoken witnesses, and apply pressure where it counts.

We aren’t interested in dramatizing grief. We’re focused on building a case—factually and legally—so that families can hold the right people accountable. Not just emotionally. But in court.

In complex fraud cases, our team tracks financial deceit across jurisdictions and platforms. We investigate fraudulent investment schemes, vendor collusion, corporate embezzlement, and forged documentation. We’ve uncovered hidden assets, falsified valuations, and digital evidence scrubbed from public view but not from forensic trace.

These aren’t casual missteps. They’re deliberate deceptions—and they require methodical exposure.

That’s where our surveillance teams come in.

We conduct sub rosa investigations to gather evidence that only appears when no one thinks they’re being watched. This could involve an executive on leave who’s actively engaging with competitors. A claimant in a personal injury or disability case whose public behavior contradicts sworn testimony. A family matter where what’s said in court doesn’t match what’s happening at home.

Sub rosa work isn’t just about catching someone in a lie. It’s about confirming truth through observation. Legally. Discreetly. And with evidentiary integrity.

Our surveillance protocols are executed with precision. We don’t chase people around with a camera. We observe, record, document, and protect our findings under strict confidentiality and admissibility standards. We preserve timelines. We maintain chain of custody. We know what will hold up in court—and what will get dismissed.

In missing person cases, we’ve supported private families, attorneys, and trusted institutions in tracking down individuals who vanished without warning. These are not just criminal matters. Sometimes, they’re emotional. Other times, they’re strategic. A witness avoiding a deposition. A family member hiding assets. A loved one in danger who left no trace.

We approach each case with urgency and care. We trace last-known locations, digital footprints, transaction records, travel data, phone logs, and possible third-party contacts. And when appropriate, we work parallel to law enforcement—not to interfere, but to enhance, accelerate, and support the effort with resources and focus they may not have.

We also specialize in high-level due diligence.

Not the kind that gives you boilerplate reports and a checkmark. But real, high-risk, pre-decision intelligence. Before a merger. Before a major hire. Before onboarding a partner, donor, or board member who could later damage your brand or institution.

We go beyond credentials and resumes. We look for buried litigation, quiet reputational risk, affiliations that don’t appear in bios, inconsistencies in financial disclosures, and personal behavior that doesn’t match public image. We map relationships. We track patterns. And we flag what you need to know—before you commit.

What sets Potter & Co. apart is not just what we investigate. It’s how we do it.

We don’t subcontract. We don’t crowdsource intelligence. We operate in tight, vetted teams with clear ethical and legal standards. Every piece of information is verified. Every action is documented. Every engagement is handled with the utmost discretion, confidentiality, and respect for the gravity of what’s at stake.

We are frequently brought in by attorneys to support litigation with clean, admissible evidence. We work alongside legal teams, not in their shadow. We understand privilege. We protect it. We understand exposure. We prevent it. And we know how to hand over findings in a way that supports—not distracts from—courtroom success.

Our clients include Fortune 500 companies, private families, law firms, universities, advocacy groups, and individuals in public life. But we don’t advertise who we work with. That’s part of the trust.

What we offer is access to answers when everything else is confusion.

We’ve investigated sudden deaths labeled accidental that were anything but. We’ve uncovered fraud hidden for years under corporate layers. We’ve tracked people who didn’t want to be found. And we’ve done it quietly, quickly, and without disruption.

Because when you need the truth, you don’t need a spectacle.

You need certainty. You need clarity. You need professionals who won’t flinch under pressure and who know how to turn silence into evidence.

If you’re facing a loss that feels off. A deal that feels rushed. A person who’s vanished. A version of events that simply doesn’t sit right—call us.

We’ll go find the answers.
