You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Licensed private investigators and process servers in Goodyear, working Buckeye, Avondale, Waddell and all of Maricopa County.

Most people who reach out to us have never spoken to an investigator before.

  • You think your partner is hiding something.
  • You are worried about your child during parenting time.
  • You have court papers to serve, and the person keeps avoiding them.
  • Someone you need to find has moved and left no trail.
  • You think someone is tracking your phone.

Whatever brought you here, it is a normal reason to call.

What an investigator can actually do.

Blue Copper Investigations is a licensed Arizona private investigation agency and process serving company based in Goodyear, working for people, attorneys and businesses across Goodyear, Buckeye, Avondale, Waddell and the rest of Maricopa County.

Television makes private investigation look like breaking rules. Real investigation is the opposite: careful, lawful work that produces evidence you can actually use. Here is where the lines are in Arizona.

Someone is here.

Every case briefing is read by a licensed investigator, not a call center. You will usually hear back within 24 business hours, sooner if it is urgent. If you would rather talk now, call (602) 456-1771.

How the first conversation works.

No commitment, no pressure, and nothing leaves the room. You can stop at any step.

  1. Tell us what is going on

    Fill out a short case briefing, or call. A few sentences is enough to start.

  2. Talk it through for free

    We set up a free consultation, in person at our Goodyear office or online. We will tell you honestly what is possible.

  3. Decide, then we begin

    If you go ahead, you get a written agreement and a secure way to share documents. Nothing starts until you say so.

Questions people ask

What does a private investigator do?

A private investigator gathers facts lawfully: surveillance in public places, records research, interviews, locating people and documenting what they find in a report you or your attorney can use. In Arizona, investigators must be licensed by the Department of Public Safety.

Is my first conversation with you confidential?

Yes. What you tell us stays with us, whether or not you hire us, and you decide how and when we contact you.

How much does a private investigator cost?

It depends on the kind of case and how much time it takes, so we do not publish prices. The first consultation is free, and we will explain the likely cost before any work begins.

How fast will someone get back to me?

Usually within 24 business hours of a case briefing, and sooner when a case is urgent. If it cannot wait, call (602) 456-1771.

Do you only work in Goodyear?

No. Goodyear is home, and Buckeye, Avondale and Waddell are our primary areas, but we take investigations and serve papers across Maricopa County.

What is going on?

Pick the closest one. We will point you to the right first step.

Not sure? That is fine. A case briefing or a phone call both work.
