Report
My father grew up with no parents. There was an unfortunate event in 1948 that tore a family apart. There were four children. One child was killed and the other three removed from my grandparents, My father being one of them. I could never imagine living the rough childhood my father did and having so many unanswered questions. My father met his mother when he was an adult in 1971. The only good thing that came out of that reunion was, I was able to form a relationship with my grandmother. During my childhood, I remember my parents talking constantly about my father's parents and wondering

We used them to help locate my wifes father whom she hadn't ever met. His last whereabouts were from 1985 and all we had was minimal information on him. Nonetheless after submitting official request to paloma investigations they gave me a call back only 5 hours later with where he was and also a life friend of his for us to contact... now unfortunately my wifes father had just recently passed before using them but my wife was able to learn a lot about her father and her past. I highly recommend them for anyone searching for someone off the radar

I found Troy at Paloma on Yelp when I needed to hire a PI to find my biological Dad whom I had been trying to find and contact for over a year with no luck. I wish I would have hired Troy earlier!! He found my Dad in 2 days and made contact with him. I was then able to connect with him. I am going to meet him in a few weeks. Troy was very personable, down to earth and as soon as I spoke to him on the phone I knew he was going to help me. It was such a relief. It was also very reasonably priced.

I have dealt with many private investigators in my career. Troy is by far the most professional and knowledgable investigator I've encountered. Not only does he get the job done but he is sensitive to the clients needs. I would use this company again if need be and recommend Paloma Investigations to anyone in need of a PI. By far the best quality and professionalism possible.

Troy at Paloma Investigative Services was able to help me track some suspicious activity on my credit to the La Quinta area. I gave him city and state as general area as I am in LA and he is close to where the actual fraud was happening. He was able to track to the culprit's address. Troy also had law enforcement connections and was able to help pursue this situation even further and we found the culprits!! If you need help, Troy is the man to call!!
