Millions of dollars in forgotten financial assets, including dormant accounts, uncashed checks, insurance proceeds, and inherited funds, may be waiting for their rightful owners. Florida provides a free public search and claims process. In more complicated situations involving deceased owners, missing heirs, or difficult-to-establish ownership histories, professional investigative assistance may help identify relevant individuals, locate records, and support the documentation process.

About Aces Florida
Professional Investigations Guided by Service, Discipline, and Discretion
Aces Florida is a licensed Florida investigative and protective services firm serving attorneys, businesses, families, executives, and private clients. We help people make informed decisions during serious legal, personal, and security matters.
The company was founded on a simple belief: when you face uncertainty, you deserve experienced professionals who know how to stay calm, think clearly, and protect your privacy.
Aces Florida is led by Investigator M. Garcia, known to many clients as Florida Ace. His background includes service as a United States Navy Rescue Swimmer and 15+ years in the fire service. That experience shaped the way our team approaches every case: listen first, plan carefully, pay attention to detail, and put people first.
Aces Florida also brings strong leadership in executive protection and security operations. Our investigative and protective service divisions work together to support clients who need facts, protection, secured transport, disaster response support, or help locating unclaimed funds and property.

- Family Law & Litigation
Important evidence can disappear when electronic records are deleted, accounts change, or relevant information is not documented promptly. Whether a matter involves family law, criminal defense, or civil litigation, careful preservation of information can be essential. Investigators working with attorneys can assist in identifying relevant evidence, establishing timelines, and documenting findings to support the legal process.

- Executive Protection
Executives, business owners, and high-profile individuals can face security risks that extend beyond their immediate physical surroundings. Publicly available information, online activity, and predictable routines can expose individuals and their families to unwanted attention or potential threats. Executive protection services may include risk assessments, protective intelligence, secure transportation planning, and proactive measures designed to reduce personal security vulnerabilities.

- Background Investigations
Background investigations can help businesses make more informed decisions when evaluating prospective employees and other professional relationships. Depending on the circumstances, these investigations may involve verification of employment history, credentials, public records, and other legally obtainable information. Professional investigative assistance can help organizations understand the importance of accuracy, lawful procedures, and responsible handling of sensitive information.

- Criminal Defense
Social media posts, messages, and other digital records can become important evidence in criminal and civil cases. However, establishing authenticity and preserving electronic information can present significant challenges. Professional investigative services can assist legal teams with identifying relevant digital evidence, documenting its sources, and coordinating proper preservation and review.

- Criminal Defense
Eyewitness identification can play an important role in criminal proceedings, but identification errors can have serious consequences. Florida has established safeguards governing law enforcement identification procedures. Independent criminal defense investigations may help attorneys examine witness accounts, evaluate identification procedures, locate additional witnesses, and identify evidence requiring further review.
