You won't find a better place. They take due diligence to a whole new level. Very impressed with the level of work and dedication that they put in. It's a lot more affordable than you think, and you get more than what you pay for!!

Thanks to Matt I was able to solve an issue I had scarring me over the last 5 years. He was able to get me answers I needed and stuck with me throughout the process. I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to find him and his company online. Job well done by MS Recoveries and Investigations. I wish I had found them sooner. If you need to get professionals to get you information, this company is for you.

This place is a scam, the fake private investigation stole my $50 money at 2 different times, pretending to serve a gentlemen at a gas station, when come to find out he was in jail at the time and couldn't have been served. This place scams people and does not make good business, they steal your money.

I hired them to serve an individual who was trying not to be found. Not only did they get him served but I got video evidence of the entire encounter. I wish I would have hired them the first time we needed a process server - These guys are professional and they get the job done. Within 24 hours of contacting them he was found and served. Thank you MS Recoveries!

This is one of the most professional investigations and recoveries business I have worked with to date. I will continue to tell every business whom needs their services to use them. Not only did they do their specific job I had hired them on for, they were there for our dealership after. They also offered a hand in helping us after the fact. I was hesitant to use their services because I didn't know if it would be too small of a job and not worth their efforts. They made me feel as if I was a priority. This never happens! Their documentation was submitted promptly and they asked what else they
