For lawyers
An increasing number of lawyers find their way to Santos Recherchebureau, either for a matter of their own or on behalf of a client. We gather lawfully obtained, factual and objective evidence that you can use directly in a court or out-of-court procedure. Every investigation is carried out by licensed investigators (POB 7635), within the Wpbr and GDPR framework.

Support in family law matters
For example a suspected cohabitation that affects a maintenance obligation, or substantiating a custody or access dispute.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on referral from a lawyer?
Yes, regularly. A lawyer can be the client themselves, or refer a client to us for a direct assignment. Either way, we sharply define the investigative question up front.
Is the report usable as evidence in a procedure?
Our reports are factual, objective and lawfully obtained (Wpbr and GDPR), and are regularly submitted in court and out-of-court procedures. We're happy to provide an oral explanation if needed.
Does the investigation stay confidential towards the other party?
Yes. The investigation is carried out discreetly; together with you and, where applicable, the lawyer, we determine how and when findings are shared.
As a lawyer, can I schedule an intake call directly?
Yes, feel free to contact us directly, by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form, for yourself or on behalf of a client.
