American Special Investigative Group (ASIG)

What American Special Investigative Group (ASIG) does

American Special Investigative Group (ASIG) is a veteran-owned, U.S.-domestic private intelligence and professional investigations firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The firm delivers complex investigative and intelligence services to attorneys, corporate clients, and private individuals, with stated personnel drawn from former U.S. intelligence community and federal law enforcement ranks (FBI, DHS, NSA, IRS-CI) and a nationwide network of 250+ professional investigators. Its service portfolio is organized across Legal Investigations (litigation support, asset searches, due diligence, forensic accounting, cyber and cryptocurrency tracing), Corporate Investigations (fraud, executive protection, TSCM/bugsweeps, surveillance, hostile workplace terminations), Private Individual Investigations (child custody, missing persons, civil/criminal matters), and International Investigations, with specialized lines in Maritime Investigations led by a U.S. Coast Guard Reserve officer and Travel Security for executives and high-net-worth clients.

ASIG's underlying "technology" is fundamentally human-expert intelligence work augmented by access to restricted databases, court records, and surveillance/forensic tools, rather than a software platform. The firm holds multi-state private investigation licenses (FL, TX, AZ), maintains physical offices in Florida (Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Miami), Texas (Dallas, Austin), and Arizona (Scottsdale), and has built earned-media presence in Forbes, Fox News, ABC News, NBC News, and the NY Post.

The business model is fee-for-service professional services: each engagement is custom-quoted based on scope and complexity, structured as multi-day or multi-phase investigations rather than hourly or subscription, with an initial confidential consultation offered at no charge. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with client intake via a toll-free number (1-833-227-4474), per-office local numbers, email, and website contact form, supported by client testimonials and media visibility rather than broad digital marketing. ASIG has no disclosed outside funding, operates as a privately held founder-led firm, and reports cumulative operational scale metrics of 15,000+ cases solved and $3.5M in client losses prevented.
