About Edwin Atherton

A new generational detective agency building on the past legacies

Here at Edwin Atherton, we understand that in these modern times, you have to work with an agency that knows how to efficiently utilize the most comprehensive software and combine it with traditional wisdom and investigative methods. Learning from the past and combining it with the use of cutting-edge technology is what yields the best results. Our network reaches far beyond our borders, capable of retrieving information on individuals and businesses in over 143 countries at the moment. Our connections in the financial sector, licensed investigators, and lawyers in various jurisdictions allow our ever-expanding reach to deliver results to our clientele.

You may wonder about who we are, but we are more than just a person or two behind this company. We are part of a global network. When you do business with Edwin Atherton, you have instant access to a large network of professionals who are at the top of their respective fields. All this, while being able to keep one point of contact and without any additional outreach. Any searches conducted utilizing publicly available information and databases shall be deemed as information gathering rather than investigative activities. Such activities shall not involve, nor be construed as involving, any on-the-ground or in-person surveillance. In the event that the scope of our work necessitates the access of state-specific, non-public records or the performance of activities extending beyond database searches, we shall engage private investigators licensed within the relevant jurisdiction(s) at our sole expense.

The service we offer to you is second to none. In fact, only less than a handful of companies can do what we do with efficiency and by being able to think outside the box. We know that today we live in a result-oriented world and we strive to achieve them. It starts with setting expectations right and clear communication with our clients. Everyone at Edwin Atherton upholds those standards and we look forward to earning your business.

We take clients on a case-by-case basis. Take a look at our services below and let us know if we can assist you.

Our Detective Agency specializes in:

Asset Searches

Do you know someone who legally owes you money and has a legal judgment against the person or entity but the individual is showing no assets on papers? Is that entity living a luxurious lifestyle while on paper doesn’t have anything to show and is thus unable to enforce your judgment? We may be able to help!

Financial Fraud Investigations

Are you a victim of fraud and you can’t find the much-needed proof? Do you suspect an individual person or entity of any financial wrongdoing but you can’t prove it? Let us know and we can definitely look into it. Borders are no issue for us. We can work within all 50 states of the USA and Internationally in 143 countries total.

Comprehensive Background Checks

Have you ever wondered about someone’s past? We dig deep to find the truth about anyone’s history. Get a detailed report on someone within 48 hours.

Offshore Banking Investigations

Do you suspect someone hiding assets from you? Are you considering a divorce? Does someone owe you money and you have some information about this person hiding money offshore? Let us know the details and we may be able to help you.

Background Checks

Our capabilities extend to conducting background checks on individuals worldwide, whether they are native to the USA or born abroad. Additionally, we offer monthly monitoring services, alerting clients if the individual in question appears on any global list or accrues a criminal record. Depending on the privacy laws of the respective countries, we can furnish clients with comprehensive details about the individual.

Want to know what the INTERPOL has on file about you? We can get this information for $3,500

Why is it so expensive?

We manually have to request this information from INTERPOL via internationally traceable certified mail. Sometimes there is correspondence back and forth between the agency and us to obtain this. The entire process nowadays can take up to 4 months and we also have to work with a law firm who can correspond on our behalf in Lyon, France with INTERPOL HQ. This is one of the hardest information to obtain on any individual but it is possible with Edwin Atherton.

We acknowledge reliance upon diverse software systems and sources, recognizing that their outputs may not invariably achieve absolute accuracy. Consequently, we retain the prerogative to exercise due diligence in mitigating errors and omissions to the best of our ability, notwithstanding the inherent limitations of such endeavors.

“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”

– Will Durant
