We Structure Our Services Based On Your Requirements

Every investigation is different. Some cases require days or weeks of surveillance. Others can be resolved with a few hours of research, records work, or background investigation.

Before we begin, we take the time to understand what you need to find out and determine the most effective way to get that answer. That initial assessment is free, and if we don’t believe an investigation is likely to be worth the cost, we’ll tell you.

Investigating in New Mexico also comes with its own challenges. The state is large, communities can be spread hours apart, and surveillance techniques that work in Albuquerque may not work in a smaller town where an unfamiliar vehicle is much easier to notice.

We take those factors into account from the beginning so your time and money are spent where they are most likely to produce results.

What We Do

Our Comprehensive Services

Sexual Assault & Human Trafficking

Trafficking investigations demand patience and documentation discipline. We map networks, corroborate activity, and produce intelligence structured for the people who can act on it — law enforcement, prosecutors, and the advocacy organizations working these cases alongside us.

Social Media/OSINT

Open source intelligence has become the fastest route to an answer in a large share of cases. We pull digital footprints, historical account activity, associations, and public records into a single documented picture — and we preserve it properly, so a deleted post doesn’t become a lost exhibit.

Witness Interviews

An interview is only as valuable as its credibility later. We prepare before we sit down, ask in a sequence designed to test consistency, and document in a form that holds up when opposing counsel reads it. We’re equally direct about what a witness could not confirm.

Service of Process

Evasion is a solvable problem. Where routine attempts have failed, we apply skip tracing, pattern-of-life work, and persistence to complete service under the New Mexico Rules of Civil Procedure — with returns filed promptly and documented cleanly.

Surveillance

Field surveillance across New Mexico requires planning that urban-only operators tend to underestimate. We scout in advance, run appropriate vehicles and equipment, and deliver time-stamped documentation. When surveillance won’t produce what you need, we say so before you fund it.

Most Cases Start With One Conversation

Twenty minutes on the phone is usually enough to tell you whether you have an investigation, what it would realistically involve, and what it would cost. No obligation attached.

A Standard You Can Verify

Why Clients Retain Forefront Investigations

We work for attorneys, businesses, and individuals whose decisions depend on what we find. That means our reports have to be defensible — findings separated from conclusions, sources documented, gaps identified rather than glossed over.

We also don’t stop at the convenient answer. When early findings confirm what a client expected, that’s the point at which errors get made, so we keep working until the record is complete. If what we find undercuts your theory of the case, you’ll hear that from us first, and early enough to matter.

I called Forefront Investigations looking for assistance on a case. Malissa was discreet, professional and incredibly thorough. She kept me informed as the case progressed and delivered solid evidence that made a huge difference in my legal matter. I highly recommend Forefront Investigatons.
