Eaton County Private Investigator

Just west of Lansing, Eaton County mixes growing suburbs like Delta Township and Grand Ledge with the small-town feel of the county seat in Charlotte. The questions people bring me here are the ones that keep a parent up at night — most often a custody arrangement that no longer feels right, or a need to know the truth about someone in their child's life. I'm Eugene Butler, a licensed private investigator based in Flint, and I handle these matters in Eaton County.

In child-custody work, I focus on what a court can actually use: documented, time-stamped observations of where a child is, who's caring for them, and whether the other parent's account holds up. When you're about to trust someone new — a partner, a babysitter, a roommate — a careful background investigation can surface what a quick online search never will. And if a case hinges on someone's testimony, witness location helps put the right person in front of your attorney.

Discretion here is by design — total confidentiality, no office gossip and no judgment. I'll be honest about what I can and can't do before you commit to anything. If you're in Eaton County and you need clear answers about your family's safety, call or text me directly at 810-513-0662. When you absolutely, positively need the truth.
