Atlantis Investigations

About Us

Who We Are

Atlantis Private Investigations isn’t just another PI firm. We are the team trusted when money, power, and reputation are at stake. Led by Michael W. Braa, JD—investigator, journalist, political consultant, and television personality—Atlantis operates at the intersection of investigations, strategy, and influence. We don’t just uncover the truth. We shape narratives, shift public opinion, and deliver results that change outcomes.

When the stakes are high, the big names call us.

Michael Braa – Founder, CEO (Muscogee)

Michael Braa is the face of Atlantis Private Investigations—and the one you want in your corner when the going gets tough. A seasoned investigator with roots in law and journalism, Michael has guided high-profile cases involving political corruption, multi-million-dollar fraud, tribal governance, and federal compliance.

But Michael’s impact goes beyond the evidence. As the host of The Michael Braa Show (NBC/CBS), he has earned a reputation as a voice of clarity and authority. In courtrooms, boardrooms, and media markets, Michael’s reach and credibility give clients more than answers—they give them an edge.

Respected by attorneys, trusted by executives, and called upon by governments, Michael embodies the principle that information is power. Under his leadership, Atlantis delivers that power to those who can afford the best.

Carl Whitney – Chief Operations Officer (Shoshone)

Carl Whitney brings more than 30 years of decorated law enforcement experience to Atlantis. A Medal of Valor recipient and former lieutenant, Carl has led homicide divisions, SWAT teams, and financial crime investigations. His operational leadership ensures that every Atlantis case—no matter how sensitive—is executed with precision, discipline, and credibility.
