This is the 2nd time I have used Connie Fishbaughs services. She responded each time to my inquiry for her services in a timely manner. She communicates with you so you are clear with what to expect and she is very professional. I would definitely recommend her.

In my first call to this agency to get help in verifying whether or not an abusive, stalking ex husband had actually moved out of my apartment complex, Connie Fishbaugh gave me a suggestion for how to get the info for free and also provided basic fee info for how she would do it if her suggestion wasn't effective. She was very thorough and helpful with her advice. I will definitely return to her if I need further help.

Connie delivered on her end in a timely and professional manner. She understood what I was asking for and was confidential, which was important to me. Connie laid out the services that she could offer, and the probability in which she could find some answers for me. I am grateful for her integrity, dependability and approach to what I hired her for. If ever I am in need again, or know anyone who can use assistance in locating an individual, or anything that Connie may be able to assist with, I will know who to turn to, or who to request. Thanks again.

Connie did a fantastic job for me. She is easy to reach and is very trustworthy and discrete. She is also willing to testify in court which is a a big plus. I definitely recommend her and will employ her again if needed.

Great end to a day I thought was the end of my quest. I had two different directions to take, with hours to complete the direction I made. Had talked to everyone I could think of, with a lot of confusion.
Finally, Connie Fishbaugh, too the rescue. Took hold and got the impossible done. For over two months I have been looking for this job to be done. Within hours, not weeks, job was accepted AND COMPLETED. I think I have a friend for life. Want something call Connie. My case was a very difficult, invasive and generally awful. Well done.

Connie was able to meet with me shortly after I first contacted her, which was a relief to me because I needed assistance just a few days afterward. Connie did a very thorough job: her observations were excellent and she reported immediately afterward with a well thought out review. I highly recommend Fishbaugh and Associatiates.

Connie was very patient and helpful when I consulted with her about a problem that my attorney couldn't help with. I quickly discovered that she had lots of experience and it gave me some peace of mind to know that something could be done, where it seemed hopeless before. Expertise makes all the difference.
