Private Investigator in Orange County

Licensed Statewide, Straight About the Two-Hour Drive

Roberts Investigative Services is a Florida-licensed agency, and our licence is good in Orange County exactly as it is in Fort Pierce. What is different is logistics, and we would rather say so up front than let you find out later. Orlando is roughly two hours from our office — not adjacent territory, and not a market we pretend to have a storefront in.

For records-based work, that distance barely matters. Background investigations, skip tracing and locating a person all run on verified records and lawful database work, and they move at the same pace whether the subject is in Fort Pierce or Orlando. Sustained surveillance is the part that genuinely needs lead time, because it means scheduling a team and traveling to work the case in a concentrated block rather than dropping in for two hours at a time. If your matter cannot wait for that, say so on the first call and we will tell you plainly.

Our Services in Orange County

Orange County's economy is unlike anywhere else we cover: the theme park employers, the International Drive hotel corridor and convention business, a very large student population at UCF, and the traffic Orlando International Airport pulls through the county. That mix produces a case load different from a residential Treasure Coast county.

What Working Orange County Actually Involves

Distance is a scheduling fact, not a marketing problem. We do not maintain an Orlando office and we do not claim one. We prepare from records first, then travel once and work concentrated hours — which for most instructions returns more usable evidence than a firm making repeated short trips.

Shift work changes when surveillance is worth buying. A hospitality economy running rotating and overnight shifts means a subject's routine often falls outside daytime hours. We ask about employer and schedule before quoting a plan, because the wrong window produces an invoice with nothing on it.

The visitor volume is a genuine variable. A huge transient population makes some subjects easy to lose — hotel changes, rental cars, strangers to blend into — and makes others easier to follow, since tourist routines are unusually predictable. We tell you honestly which situation your case looks like before committing hours.

Theme park property and the airport are off limits. Both are private or federally restricted environments. We do not attempt surveillance inside either, and we plan a case around that boundary from the outset rather than promising access we do not have.

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

Orlando, Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden, Maitland, Windermere, Dr. Phillips and Lake Nona. 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.

You're two hours away in Fort Pierce. Can you actually cover an Orlando case?
Honestly, not on a same-day basis. Orange County work is a planned assignment — we scope the case and confirm the records first, then travel once and work in a concentrated block rather than driving up and down I-95 for scattered hours. Background investigations, skip tracing and locating are unaffected by the distance because they run on records, not proximity. Sustained surveillance is the part that needs lead time, and we say so at the consultation rather than take the instruction and underdeliver.
Where would an Orange County case be heard?
Orange is part of Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit, which it shares with Osceola County. Circuit and county matters are heard at the Orange County Courthouse on North Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando, a large, high-volume courthouse compared to the circuits we work day to day. Knowing that in advance matters for filings and records requests, and we confirm the specific division before we commit to a timeline.
Does Orlando's hospitality workforce change how surveillance gets planned?
Considerably. A large share of the county works rotating or overnight shifts at the theme park employers, the hotels along International Drive, or the convention centers, so a subject's schedule often does not match a nine-to-five assumption. We ask about employer and shift pattern before quoting hours, because a surveillance block planned around daytime traffic can miss the entire window that actually matters.
With so many visitors passing through, is it hard to follow someone here?
It cuts both ways. The transient population here is enormous — theme park guests, convention attendees, seasonal residents — and a subject who blends into that crowd, changes hotels, or rents a car for a week can be genuinely hard to track. Visitors also tend to follow predictable, well-mapped routes between a small number of destinations, which makes some of that same work easier than it looks. We assess which situation we are actually in before quoting a plan.
Can you conduct surveillance at the theme parks or the airport?
No, and any firm telling you otherwise is describing something you do not want attached to your case. Theme park property is private and heavily monitored, and Orlando International Airport is a restricted federal environment. Neither is a place to conduct surveillance, and we plan around that limit rather than around the version of the job clients sometimes imagine.
