About Maxwell Caulfield
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I am a licensed private investigator and Sheriff`s special appointed process server in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. My area of expertise in organized crime is drawn from actual experience. Maxwell Caulfield is not the name I was given at birth. It is the name that was given to me by the United States Government, through the Federal Witness Protection Program. I am one of only 2% of more than 16,000 witnesses who does not have a criminal history. My experience stems first, from my emloyment by organized crime figures in Chicago, IL. And then my testimony for the U.S. Attorney`s Organized Crime Strike Force for the Northern District of Illinois. I testified against organized crime figures and corrupt police officers. All were convicted, and sent to federal prison. Since this event 20 years ago, I have spent a great deal of time working in the field of investigations of organized criminal activity, violations of the R.I.C.O. statute and have been an outspoken critic of WITSEC. I have continued to work with several law enforcement agencies in various capacities.
