Trace and Identify (Australia)

Female Private Investigator in Queensland

“We locate anyone, anywhere, for any reason”.

My name is Lesley and I have been locating, tracing and verifying contact details of individuals, as well as conducting discreet follows and surveillances (including door knocks for ID purposes), for law firms, Mercantile Agents and private individuals – since 2008.

Furthermore, I have no ‘team’ as I will work autonomously on your behalf and you shall be liaising directly with me because unlike the larger agencies that may need to pay for admin staff, sub contractors, an answering service, or office rental, I do not have high overheads that are absorbed into fees and then passed on to you, the client.

Private clients – do you seek ‘peace of mind’ regarding suspected infidelity, gambling, or simply wanting to check if a new relationship is genuine or not? You may feel more secure knowing if that person owns or rents property, their profession and/or workplace title, or more importantly if they have appeared in court at any stage and if so, the reason for why. Knowing this information allows you to confidently move ahead with your life.

My current and previous clients are based in all States of Australia, as well as the U.K., N.Z. and North/South America.

Why Use Trace and Identify (Australia)?

This agency which is considered small by others, is 100% Queensland owned and operated.

When you make contact, you will speak directly with the Owner/Manager.

I do not knowingly use AI at any time during the enquiry; instead, I use skills and experience, coupled with commonsense and access to exclusive databases within our industry to gather the information, then I cross index that information before submitting the findings to you.

I do not claim to be an expert in every area of investigative work because in all honesty, that simply is not possible.

As a Private Investigator/Inquiry Agent/Detective, my expertise is finding the current contact details of missing persons for law firms, Mercantile Agents, as well as for private individuals. I have the training and experience for any situation, however, in the unlikely event that the enquiry is outside my expertise, I will gladly recommend (free of charge) a trusted Industry Colleague to assist you.

I am not expensive, nor am I cheap to contract, however, in saying that, I will submit a realistic, mutually agreeable cost structure up front for you so there will be no nasty surprises halfway through the enquiry.

Being the Owner/Manager, I listen to your needs, then act in a confidential and ethical manner, whilst working within the law.

The testimonials on the Slider at the bottom of this Home page named Our Private Investigator Reviews are 100% authentic, are not AI generated and are freely submitted by previous and current clients.

I am QLD Licensed through the Office of Fair Trading, as well as having full Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance set in place.
