I am so impressed with Steve and his team. Steve responded promptly to my initial inquiry, provided a fair quote, and then went above and beyond by sharing helpful information that he thought was important and relevant to my safety (and I hadn't even agreed to move forward with our case/he wasn't making a dollar off his efforts and advice). Really get the sense they have your best interest at heart here and would highly recommend their services if you are looking for a competent and trustworthy P.I. service.

I was a viticm and my case was in shambles the officers and court had me going in circle. I was told to call a private investigator, I pick one out of a hat(sunset blvd) and they help me get back on track when the job was not in there lane. They really went out there way to help me. It really meant a lot to me and Im having a moment typing this. Thanks.

I have used Sunset Blvd. several times in the course of my legal practice and have never been disappointed by their responsiveness, professionalism, and especially their resourcefulness. Where other investigators might stumble, they always find a way, with results that are never short of spectacular. If you need an investigator who you can count on to get the job done right, these guys are the best I've come across in 15 years as a lawyer.
