Cellular Location Services
Overview
Cellular location services help investigators establish where a subject's mobile device has been — often a decisive piece of evidence in missing-persons, custody, fraud, and infidelity cases. We work through proper legal process (subpoenas, court orders, or device-owner consent) to obtain carrier records, tower data, and historical location logs, and combine them with open-source intelligence to build a clear picture of the subject's movements. All work is conducted in compliance with California and federal law.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you ping a phone in real time?
Real-time cellular pings are generally restricted to law enforcement and carriers. For civil matters, we work through subpoenas, court orders, or device-owner consent to obtain historical location records that are admissible in court.
Is cellular-location evidence admissible in California courts?
Yes, when properly documented. Records obtained via lawful process with proper chain of custody are routinely admitted in civil and family court proceedings. We provide court-ready exhibits and, when needed, expert testimony.
