Los Feliz Private Investigator Services, Built Around Surveillance
Bear Witness is the private investigator in Los Feliz that families, attorneys, and businesses call when they need facts, not guesses. Los Feliz is a neighborhood within the City of Los Angeles, in Los Angeles County. We are a veteran-owned, California-licensed firm (PI #18755), and surveillance is what we do best.
Our Los Feliz clients include individuals facing infidelity or a missing family member, parents in custody and support disputes, employers and insurers dealing with fraud, and law firms that need evidence and testimony. What they share is a need for discreet, lawful surveillance that holds up.
Surveillance Specialists Serving Los Feliz
As a Los Feliz private investigator, surveillance is the core of what we do. We document activity legally, discreetly, and in a way that holds up in court.
Mobile Surveillance
Experienced drivers who anticipate turns and freeway exits, so your subject is documented from stop to stop.
Static Surveillance
We hold position at the locations that matter to your case and record activity with time-stamped video.
Two-Investigator Teams
For careful or unpredictable subjects, two investigators trade off so the same car is never seen twice.
Los Feliz is part of Los Angeles, a city of about 3.86 million people across 471 square miles, so subjects here can cross into very different parts of the city in minutes. We plan Los Feliz surveillance around its own streets, parking, and traffic rather than Los Angeles as a whole.
