Mulholland Investigation

What Mulholland Investigation does

Mulholland Investigation is a full-service private investigation and forensics firm headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida with a secondary office in Orlando, founded in 1996 by former NYPD Sergeant Sean Mulholland. The firm offers six integrated service lines: Investigations (background checks, asset searches, due diligence, witness location), Surveillance (field surveillance with legally obtained photo and video evidence), Computer Forensics (forensic imaging, mobile device and social media forensics, E-Discovery using court-recognized tools), Cyber Security (vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, training), Security Consulting (security assessments, TSCM, expert witness testimony, executive protection), and Litigation Support (witness interviews, background investigations, asset and heir searches). Its primary customers are insurance companies, law firms, and corporate risk management clients, with individuals as a secondary segment.

The firm combines traditional investigative techniques with technology, deploying AI-driven facial recognition for video and photographic evidence, AI-powered background check systems that scan databases for criminal and employment records, and proprietary social media capture software that isolates upload activity and metadata. An on-site computer forensics lab staffed by a dedicated forensic investigator, along with executive leadership from former FBI Special Agent Vincente Rosado (18 years on the FBI Computer Analysis Response Team), anchors the digital evidence capability. Mulholland's team of former NYPD and FBI personnel provides over 100 years of combined investigative experience and is qualified to testify as expert witnesses in court.

Mulholland operates a sales-led go-to-market through its website, with dedicated intake forms for each service line (Investigation, Computer Forensics, Litigation Support, Surveillance), supplemented by phone consultations and email inquiries. Pricing is project-based, with free initial consultations and quotes provided as ranges given case-specific variables. The firm is privately held and founder-owned with no disclosed external funding. Its affiliated network Intellenet extends its international reach for cross-border asset searches. The firm holds Florida private investigation license #A 96-00-314 and is fully insured. Mulholland reported over 300 investigations completed in 2025.
