About Dugas Legal Investigations
Louisiana investigative experience grounded in integrity, preparation, discretion, and clear communication.
Serving Louisiana Since 1997
Paul C. Dugas founded Dugas Legal Investigative Services, LLC—Dugas Legal Investigations (DLI)—in 1997. The firm was built on a straightforward commitment: understand the client’s objectives, conduct lawful and thorough fact-finding, document the work carefully, and communicate responsibly throughout the assignment.
Paul and Maria Dugas have developed DLI around personal professional service and long-term relationships with attorneys, insurance and claims professionals, businesses, public entities, and private clients. Every matter is evaluated individually, and investigative activity is planned around the facts, lawful objectives, available resources, and the client’s practical needs.
Professional Investigative Support
DLI provides investigative and process-serving support throughout Louisiana. Core services include family-law and domestic investigations, insurance-fraud and claims surveillance, legal and litigation investigations, background investigations, locate and witness services, business investigations, and professional process service.
How DLI Approaches an Assignment
- Listen first. We begin by identifying the questions the client needs answered.
- Define clear objectives. The scope is developed around relevant, lawful, and achievable goals.
- Investigate methodically. Work is performed discreetly, carefully, and with attention to documentation.
- Communicate responsibly. Clients receive timely information appropriate to the assignment.
- Report the facts. Findings are presented objectively without exaggeration or unsupported conclusions.
Confidentiality and Professional Standards
DLI recognizes that investigative matters often involve sensitive personal, legal, financial, or business information. Inquiries and assignments are handled with discretion. The firm does not promise a particular result; it promises a professional effort focused on accurate information, responsible documentation, and ethical investigative practices.
