Private Investigator in Martin County

Licensed, Twenty Minutes Away, and Practical About Guarded Communities

Martin County is small, affluent and deliberately kept that way — a four-storey height limit, a heavily protected shoreline, and a population that swells and empties with the season. For an investigator that produces a particular set of problems: the addresses that matter most are frequently the hardest to approach lawfully, and the county is small enough that clumsy work gets noticed.

Our office is in Fort Pierce, immediately north. Martin is not a market we service from a distance; it is the next county down.

Our Services in Martin County

The case mix here skews towards matters where money, property and family are entangled, alongside the ordinary run of surveillance and background work.

Why Martin County Cases Come to Us

We are twenty minutes north. Stuart is a short run up US-1 or I-95 from our Fort Pierce office. Response is measured in hours, and nothing on your invoice is paying for someone to drive down from Orlando.

We are straight about gated communities. A large share of Martin County's housing sits behind a guard gate on a private road. That is a hard constraint on surveillance, not a challenge to be talked around, and the workaround is lawful positioning outside rather than a pretext to get in. Evidence obtained by trespass damages the case it was meant to support.

This is our home circuit. Martin shares the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit with St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River. We are not learning the local procedures at your expense.

The financial work here is real work. Matters involving boats, second homes, closely held businesses and trusts need documentary investigation as much as field time. We do that lawfully, from records and open sources, and we are clear about the line we do not cross.

Licensed and accountable. Roberts Investigative Services holds Florida agency licence #A1600287, and our investigators hold their own Class C licences. That is verifiable through the state, and you should verify it — of anyone you consider hiring.

Communities We Cover

Stuart, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, Port Salerno, Rio, Sewall's Point, Jupiter Island, North River Shores and Indiantown. Every case is worked inside Chapter 493 and Florida Statute 934.03 — no wiretapping, no trespass, no pretexting into accounts. It is a narrower toolkit than clients sometimes expect, and it is why the resulting evidence holds up.

Your Questions Answered

Most people who call have never hired an investigator before. These are the questions that come up first.

Can you conduct surveillance inside a gated or guarded community?
Not by driving through the gate, and you should be wary of any firm that says otherwise. Much of Martin County's most affluent housing — Sewall's Point, Sailfish Point, Jupiter Island, the country club developments in Palm City — sits behind guarded entries on private roads, where entry is logged and an investigator who talks their way in is trespassing. What we do instead is work the lawful approach points: public roads, the routes in and out, and the places a subject goes rather than the place they live. We will tell you at the consultation whether a specific address is workable before you commit to hours.
How quickly can you get to a matter in Stuart?
Usually within a day or two, and often faster. Our office is in Fort Pierce, roughly twenty minutes north of Stuart. Martin is effectively adjacent territory, so there is no travel component padding your invoice and no scheduling around a long drive. For something genuinely time-critical — a subject about to travel, a child exchange that needs documenting — say so on the first call and we will tell you plainly what we can cover.
Where would a Martin County case be heard?
Martin sits in Florida's Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, along with St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River. Matters are heard at the Martin County Courthouse on Southeast Ocean Boulevard in Stuart. This is our home circuit — we are in these courthouses routinely, and filings, records requests and service of process follow procedures we already know.
Do you handle asset searches and financial matters?
Yes, and Martin County produces a steady volume of them. Divorce, probate and business disputes here often involve boats, second properties, closely held companies and trusts rather than a single salary. That work is documentary rather than field-based: verifying what is owned, by which entity, and when it changed hands. It is lawful public-records and open-source work — we do not access private financial accounts, and any firm offering to is describing something that would compromise your case.
Is Indiantown covered as well as the coast?
It is, and it is a genuinely different job. Indiantown is inland and agricultural, with the rural conditions that come with it — little traffic to blend into, long sightlines, and a community where an unfamiliar vehicle is noticed. The coastal municipalities are dense and seasonal. We plan for whichever we are actually working rather than treating the county as one uniform place.
