They were going to change me 500$ for a asset check. The phone representative was rude and uncaring. Do not go to them for help!

Great guy, very professional. He worked with me through the whole process and got the evidence that was needed. I was genuinely impressed with his evidence that he recovered. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a good P.I.

Nick was awesome to work with in finding my nephew! I had such little information to provide him with, that I truly wasnt expecting much to come out of this, tbh. I had no last names, no dates of birth, no addresses, phone numbers, or social media info- whether past or present, I didnt even know birthdates or how old my nephew is that Im trying to find. Nick was able to take what tiny bits of info that I could provide and turn straw into gold and I couldnt be happier with the service , the turnaround, the professionalism and the quality of information he provided .

I hired Nick Bradley after attempting to serve some for the past 7 months using a process server and a different PI. The person essentially went off the grid and was extremely elusive. Within 2 days of hiring Nick, he pinpointed where she lived, and was able to serve her the next day. I was so shocked and so happy to finally be able to have this person served, it was getting to a point where I thought it may just never happen.
Nick had excellent communication skills, got back to me quickly when communicating through email, and was overall enjoyable to work with. Thank you so much Nick.

Nick was very professional and efficient. This was the first time I ever used a private investigator and he made it very easy to utilize his services. If you are afraid and need some help, I would give Nick a call right away to help you.
