Fast, Efficient and Thorough records research

We understand that the majority of background checks and record retrievals are requested within a strict timeframe – either prior to an upcoming court date or before an employer can confidently reach out to a prospective employee with a job offer. Upon receiving your request, we’ll reach out to learn the details of your case before scouring every accessible database for the information you seek.

Unfortunately, with the number of deceitful individuals on the rise throughout Los Angeles county, doing your due diligence as an employer with thorough background checks and exhaustive record retrieval is crucial to protect you and your business from unsavory characters.

A Necessary Insurance

Full disclosure and knowledge of any past an individual may be hiding places you back in control of any situation. Whether you’re pursuing a case against an individual in court or looking to hire a new employee, having all the cards on the table lets you make an informed, unclouded decision. Failure to take the necessary measures to learn everything about an individual can potentially lead to a situation where they can financially corrupt you or your business. Our background checks are swift and affordable – a small yet essential precaution that can avoid a legal struggle and massive financial pitfall.

Why Choose A Private Investigator for Background Checks?

While other services provide basic background checks and run a simple screening for record retrieval, their automated and impersonal approach often results in important information slipping through the cracks. As some information may be shrouded or mislabeled, the eye of an experienced investigator can pick out essential pieces of information quickly and easily. While online resources may seem cheap and easy, the results are sub-par – why risk your business or case’s success?


As licensed and insured private detectives, we stand apart from hobbyists and inexperienced investigators. We take the necessary steps to ensure our investigations are thorough, swift and accurate. Having worked with numerous large corporations, small businesses, attorneys and law firms to both perform background checks and obtain records for various reasons, we’re confident we can provide the information you seek with unparalleled professionalism.
