I obtained some serious results when the agency found assets that were rightly mine during the divorce. Made things much smoother.
Charlize - Vallejo, CA
They proved that my ex was working and that he had not told the courts about some of his bank accounts. I got the child support I deserved because of their work.
Tara - Napa, CA
Business partner stole $180,000 plus. These guys were the best as they literally recorded him stealing from our company registers. Very cleverly done and highly recommended.

Deep understanding of the unique challenges private clients face
Will the person know I hire a private investigator?
No. No one will ever know. Any records we access, data bases we search or information we uncover will not leak to the subject of investigation. We use careful and methodical approaches to our investigative strategies. If we feel any aspect of the matter may leak, we will share it with you first so we can decide if the risk is worth the reward.
Do you offer any guarantees on your investigation services?
Yes. We guarantee our workmanship based on the budget the client has provided. We also have some additional guarantees depending on the case. Not all private investigations come with a guarantee, so it’s best to speak to us to discuss your matter. Remember, each investigation is different, and there are no promises as to the outcome of your private investigation.
How much does a private investigator cost?
Most of our private investigation fees are in package prices so that you don’t worry about hourly billing. For example, we have package prices starting at $208, $950 and others more complex that may have an hourly rate of $200 per hour.
