About THIS PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
JPP Investigations helps plaintiff attorneys investigate cases early, preserve critical evidence, locate witnesses through skip tracing, conduct interviews, and identify strengths and weaknesses before they become problems.
Send me the traffic collision report. I’ll review it, identify the right investigative steps, and help you get ahead of the defense. Email it directly to jpaulino@jppinvestigations.com. Services include skip tracing, witness interviews, accident scene and injury documentation through professional photography and videography, drone inspections, investigative research, and vehicle inspections.
We also provide Event Data Recorder (EDR) preservation and downloads for supported vehicles. Often called a vehicle’s “black box,” EDR data may provide valuable information about the seconds surrounding a crash, including vehicle speed, braking, acceleration, and other recorded data. Preserving it early can prevent critical evidence from being lost.
Led by Jay Paulino, CPI, JPP Investigations provides experienced, bilingual English/Spanish investigative support with local service and global reach for catastrophic injury, wrongful death, product liability, premises liability, and complex civil litigation.
Certified Professional Investigator (CPI)
