Independent records review, investigative research, and due diligence for attorneys and real estate professionals. Every engagement starts with a conflict check — no commitment until scope is agreed in writing.
Problems I solve.
Services
All findings delivered in organized, written format — sourced, documented, and ready for attorney review, paralegal handoff, or direct client use. Findings are not legal conclusions and do not constitute legal advice.
Records Review for Litigation
Contracts, financial records, communications, and case materials organized into attorney-ready summaries. Every source cited, every finding traceable.
Wire Fraud & Transaction Red Flag Review
Pre-close review of buyer/seller communications, wire instructions, and entity documentation for recognizable fraud patterns.
Timeline Reconstruction
Complex events built from the documentary record into a documented written chronology — organized for mediation, deposition, or trial preparation.
Statement & Interview Analysis
Recorded statements and depositions reviewed using FETI methodology — consistency, gaps, and indicators documented in writing.
Beneficial Ownership & Entity Research
Who is behind the LLC? Entity filings, registered agents, dissolution records, and associated parties traced through public sources.
Digital Evidence Review
Authorized mobile extraction review — communications, location data, and timelines organized into attorney-ready written format.
Background & Due Diligence Investigation
Litigation-grade background research for counterparties, witnesses, buyers, sellers, or business partners.
Process Service
Wasatch Front coverage. Affidavit of service provided on completion. Included in retainer packages — see Rates.
About
Kendu Givens is an investigative consultant, former law enforcement detective, and licensed Utah real estate agent. He founded TaskPoint Consulting to serve attorneys and real estate professionals who need complex records, evidence, or transactions reviewed — independently, objectively, and in writing.
His law enforcement career spans corrections officer (2014–2018), Adult Probation & Parole agent (2018–2020), patrol officer (2020–2022), and detective (2022–2025). As a detective he worked financial crimes, fraud, digital evidence cases, and complex multi-agency matters — developing the investigative methodology and documentation standards that inform his consulting work today.
His real estate license gives him firsthand knowledge of how transactions are structured, where fraud patterns appear, and how the documentary record is organized — directly applicable on both the litigation and real estate sides of his practice.
Rates
This is consultant-level analysis — not commodity PI work. Every retainer tier includes local process service, reserved investigative hours, and scheduling priority. The value math favors retainer clients at every tier.
Why retainer makes sense
- Process service included — 1, 4, or 8 Wasatch Front serves per month depending on tier
- Reserved hours committed each month — no competing for bandwidth when a matter moves
- Total package value exceeds the retainer fee at every tier
- Scheduling priority over per-matter requests
- Continuity — I learn your firm's standards and active matters over time
- Unused hours roll forward — capacity not used is not automatically lost

Submit a Preliminary Inquiry
A short intake form starts the process. All inquiries are handled with discretion and reviewed personally. I'll typically respond within one to two business days — no commitment until scope is agreed in writing.
Two-minute intake & conflict check
Tell me about the matter and I'll run a conflict review before either party commits. Please do not include privileged materials until engagement is accepted in writing.
Open Intake FormOpens in a new tab. Submitting this form does not create a client relationship or obligation on either party.
Payment for accepted matters only.
Payment is not accepted until a matter has been reviewed, conflict-checked, and accepted in writing. Payment alone does not create an engagement or consulting relationship.
Retainer fees are due in full prior to the commencement of any work and are non-refundable once the engagement period has begun. No escrow deposit is required.
All other fees are subject to the applicable written scope or invoice. Payment alone does not create an engagement, consulting relationship, or any obligation for TaskPoint Consulting to accept a matter.
Services are provided as investigative consulting under Utah PI Agency License P113051. No real estate agency, brokerage, legal, or financial advisory relationship is created by any engagement with TaskPoint Consulting.
