You can never be too careful. Too often we are called in to clean up a mess that could have been avoided with a due diligence investigation.  Whether it be an investigation of corporate principals and their companies for a corporate merger or contract, or a screening of you or your client's vendors, key management personnel, or security apparatus, our investigation can be tailored to fit your specifications.

At Derish Associates, we can positively identify the subjects,
verify professional licensing, secure legal status of businesses,
provide litigation histories, search for tax liens, judgments and
bankruptcies, contact our sources for reputation in the
community and industry, and secure a credit history
(when authorized).  Don't learn the hard way!

entities used to perpetrate the fraud, track
down and conduct extensive research on the 
individuals behind the fraud, and track down
the assets stolen.

Personal Injury Investigations
and Complex Witness Interviews


When a personal injury case needs investigating, we provide witness statements and photographs of the accident scene and vehicles, driver's license histories, vehicle registrations, and police reports.

We are often called on to identify and locate witnesses from specific events that took place recently or over 20 years prior.  We have interviewed hundreds of witnesses from witnesses to vehicle and train accidents to industrial falls to long-ago shipmates and owners of companies now defunct 20+ years and secured declarations and for reasonable winning court actions to settlements and mitigation of fault.



Intellectual Property Investigations

We have been actively locating and purchasing counterfeit goods including videos, software, clothing and electronics. Once discovered, we can determine the legal status, size, markets, and ownership of subjects selling illegal products.

Additionally, we are experienced in coordinating with law enforcement for seizure of counterfeit goods.

Serving bank levies is a specialty that needs to be handled properly. Over the years we have opened hundreds of bank levies -- we will open the sheriff's file, serve the bank or other third party holder of funds, and properly close the file. Don't let all your efforts identifying the debtor's assets be for naught from improper service.


When your average process server cannot get the documents to the defendant and/or witness. We will use our location skills and local sources to track down down the subject and get him/her served.
