Our Mission
Veteran Owned & Operated
Brien Investigative Services specializes in legal investigations, focusing on criminal defense. As a certified CPCS Vendor, we ensure our clients receive professional, reliable investigations to support their legal needs. Our commitment to quality service sets us apart in the industry.
OUR SERVICES
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS
BIS conducts impartial, independent investigations on behalf of private and public-sector organizations and public safety administrations when internal inquiries may present conflicts of interest. Our services address matters including sexual harassment, workplace harassment or violence, internal policy and procedure violations, and potential violations of Massachusetts General Laws.
LEGAL INVESTIGATIONS
Brien Investigative Services (BIS) specializes in legal investigations, with a strong emphasis on criminal defense as well as all civil matters. As an approved Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) vendor, BIS operates strictly under the direction of appointed counsel. We employ a non-biased, fact-driven approach, committed to uncovering and pursuing the truth in all criminally charged matters.
MISSING PERSON /
SKIP TRACING
BIS employs a wide range of investigative techniques to locate missing persons and individuals who have intentionally relocated or “skipped” town. Our methods include in-depth interviews, digital footprint analysis (including social media), comprehensive database and public records research, and targeted field operations to accurately identify current whereabouts.
WITNESS LOCATION & INTERVIEWS
BIS utilizes confidential investigative databases and proven investigative techniques to determine the current locations of witnesses. These resources, combined with field operations such as cold knocks and surveillance, consistently yield successful results.
​
All interviews are conducted with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. Findings may be documented in formal investigative reports and, when appropriate, accompanied by signed witness statements suitable for court proceedings or for informational purposes for retained counsel.
COLD CASES
For cases that remain unsolved and are no longer actively investigated due to limited evidence or exhausted leads, BIS conducts a comprehensive review from the outset. Our team reanalyzes all available information and pursues alternative investigative avenues to uncover new evidence and generate actionable results.
NOTARY PUBLIC
BIS offers Notary Public services which serves as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents.
LITIGATION SUPPORT
BIS provides comprehensive litigation support services for attorneys and clients throughout all phases of a case. Our services include eDiscovery, document management, evidence organization, trial presentation support, court reporting coordination, and data analysis—ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and continuity from case initiation through trial.
Additional support includes in-depth document and report research, analysis of law enforcement narratives and investigative reports, and detailed review of crime scenes, including photographs, measurements, and related documentation.
