I highly recommend this company for any private investigator needs. He kept in touch with me several weeks prior to actual time of job. As well as kept me informed throughout the weekend of the investigation. Very professional. Really reasonable rates. If I ever need this service again, he would DEFINITELY be the one I would call on. It was definitely a pleasure working with him. Done a phenomenal job with the limited information I was able to provide.
