I engaged AF1 Protective Agency’s Due Diligence Specialist division to support a complex post-sale dispute involving undisclosed financial gains. The sellers had withheld critical asset disclosures during the business transaction, and my client needed to assess recovery options. AF1’s investigative team conducted a comprehensive asset search that uncovered material financial activity benefiting the new ownership, activity that had been intentionally concealed. Their findings were timely, thorough, and court-ready, which gave my client critical leverage during litigation. I trust AF1 and recommend them for any attorney needing discreet, high-impact financial investigation.

Following the signing of a Letter of Intent by our buyer, we engaged AF1 Protective Agency’s Due Diligence Specialist division to perform a full-scale investigative review prior to closing on the acquisition of a manufacturing facility. Their team led a multidimensional due diligence operation covering legal standing, financial health, regulatory compliance, operational risk, and executive background checks on the CEO, CFO, and CTO of the target company. They also assessed the regulatory landscape related to the planned conversion of the facility from a bottling operation to a gummy supplement manufacturer. Their thorough reporting and investigative insights were invaluable in guiding our client’s negotiation and risk analysis. AF1 has become our go-to resource for all acquisition-related due diligence.

When one of my longstanding clients was unexpectedly denied re-entry into the U.S. despite prior visa approvals, I turned to AF1 Protective Agency’s Due Diligence Specialist division for a comprehensive background investigation. Their team conducted a multi-jurisdictional criminal records search, covering the client’s country of origin, INTERPOL alerts, and U.S. domestic databases. Their findings conclusively established that the client had no prior or current criminal record, which helped support our immigration appeal. The professionalism, discretion, and speed with which AF1 handled this sensitive matter were outstanding. Their work was pivotal to advancing our client’s legal standing.
