We conduct discreet surveillance operations using advanced technology for cases involving infidelity, corporate espionage, or insurance fraud. Our investigators document activities with video, GPS tracking, and audio recording while ensuring admissibility in court. Services include undercover operations and real-time monitoring.

We perform global checks on individuals and entities, including social media profiling and corporate asset reviews. Results comply with FCRA and GLBA regulations for legal defensibility.

After having been reffered to Able Legal Investigation, i wrote an email to Howard. He was quick to answer and me living abroad, he offered to call me directly on my foreign number. I felt bad because of the extremely short delay I left him to get the job done (less than a month)... In the end, the investigation was fully completed in 10 days. Will definitely use your services again. Thank you again for the seriousness of your work. God bless you

I wanted to sincerely thank Howard and his team for their efforts and a job well done. When we discovered my Mother's trust was being compromised, we weren't sure who was behind it. I really didn't know who to turn to, I just knew we needed answers.
Thankfully we found Howard's agency, as they were able to obtain the facts in Mom's situation, and they uncovered who was responsible for defrauding her.

We were able to act on that information immediately in seeking justice. Our family is very grateful for the work you did Howard, but most of all for what you did for my Mom.

Howard, I cannot thank you enough for the difference you have made in my family's life at such a disheartening time since my father passed. I wasn't sure who to reach out to, who I could trust, and who would be able to find and report the truth in our case. You not only met but exceeded our expectations and I am forever thankful.
