Hello! I had a problem that required a level of investigation outside my own skill set, so I contacted Steve to assist me. Steve went above and beyond to help me obtain the insight I needed, so I could have true confidence in the information I needed to make a sound decision. That provided me great relief. He had a very quick turn around of my results, provided a very professional report, and he has a lot skill in this area. I highly recommend him for any investigation needs.

After working with another private investigator who broke his promise multiple times and ignored my phone calls and emails, I started to look for a new private investigator who takes me seriously. Steven Robinett responded to my inquiry while he is out of town and his phone signal was not good. We exchanged information by texting each other and he promptly laid out his plan for helping my case. I am very impressed with his professionalism. Even though our case was resolved before we hire him, I benefited from his insights and appreciate his prompt response. He will be my go to guy if I ever need
