I recommended John to a friend to get a demand letter served. My experience with John was during service of our demand letter I had to set up the appointment for the guy that was being served and give them the exact location. john subbed it out to someone who delivered it. When I recommended him to my friend I talked with the server and suggested that he set up the appointment because the criminal we were serving would not fall for the same ploy twice . He agreed but in the end he didnt do that. I also let the server know the criminal was evicted from his place of business and so he might have

We (an alarm security firm) have been using John to do our employee background checks (we hire about 20 employees yearly) for many years. His firm provides us with a host of specific information that we find very valuable when assessing a potential employee, especially in today's world. John is honest, thorough, accurate and a pleasure to do business with.
