I needed to hire a PI firm over the phone from North Carolina and was so fortunate to discover Kiamalu Consulting & Investigations. Nathan was absolutely fantastic about listening to what my objectives were and constantly kept me posted as to the progress his team was making. The end result is that I was able to direct the effort as things progressed with what I need and got exactly enough evidence to accomplish my objective. The entire staff is as professional as it gets!

I normally am not one to write reviews on Yelp, or in general, but I felt compelled to write one for Kiamalu Consulting & Investigations as a result of their EXCELLENT services. I have never used a PI before so I did not know what to expect and was quite apprehensive, however, Kiamalu worked with me in resolving all of my doubts and questions. I came to Kiamalu with the hopes of resolving an issue in my family, and after consulting with their investigative team, I was assigned to the lead investigator, Lionel (a retired HPD detective). Their team walked me through all my possible options in order
