I lost track of a good friend in 1990 and have tried to find her many times. I am usually pretty good at finding people, but continuously failed to find this one.
About 6 months ago, I realized that I needed an investigator and asked around with some police people I knew in Los Angeles and they recommended LA Intelligence.
I called and Brian Matthews answered. I explained my need and he asked me for her name and last know location. Three minutes later he said, "I found her. Send me $150 and I'll send you her info." I paid the $150 while we were on the phone and he emailed me his report. It showed all of her addresses for the past 30 years. There were two things that I was not aware of: She had married and was living 3,000 miles from where I had been looking for her.
I called her the next day and it was an amazing call. We have been talking a few times a week since then and everything worked out great.
I highly recommend LA Intelligence for both Brian and his Operations manager, Jordan's professionalism, respect for discreetness and their general business manners. If you are trying to find someone, call them. Don't waste years or months of your life looking, like I did. Let them find the person you want. It is easier, cheaper and faster. And nowhere near the expense I thought they would charge. It's the best 150 bucks I ever spent.
Since I met Mr. Matthews on the phone, we have talked many times about different subjects that we share an interest in. Sometimes I call him, sometimes he calls me. So, I guess we have become "phone friends".
I read a negative review, posted recently, probably just below this one. I do not believe for a second that person was communicating with anyone from LA Intelligence. It must have been a wrong number and someone was jerking the caller around, probably was not even a real investigator..........unless it's some clown trying to get his license cancelled.

Brian is quite something. Not only is he fun to work with, but he is heads and tails beyond any PI I have ever worked with. Prior to finding Brian, I had carefully interviewed five different PIs who came with high accolades. I settled on one. I wasted thousands of dollars only to get incomplete information which lead me nowhere.In a matter of 10 minutes Brian literally performed a miracle that changed my life. He located a client that took me for several hundred thousand dollars and then disappeared. This client paid me with a fraudulent Visa (I came to find out) and left me holding the bag. Finally, I could sue this bastard and take back my power.Because of the forgery, my credit standing and relationship with many key vendors that I counted on for custom furnishings went south as did my sterling reputation. I lost my relationship with Chase bank who I did all my banking with since the days of Washingtion Mutual. This was a 30 year relationship. Because of this, I couldn't get a bank account at any large institution bank. One credit union actually gave me a bank account as well as a smaller bank. This made banking very inconvenient as the ATMs and bank branches were few and far between. Banking used to be easy and convenient. Not any more. I used to be able to deposit large checks from clients at Chase and have the funds available immediately, because of my long standing excellent reputation with my home branch. That went the way of the dinosaurs, as did my credit score. I always prided myself on my pristine credit score. dropped to 400 as I couldn't keep up with my now insurmountable credit card payments.In this town, great credit is everything. Now I literally had nothing and lost my rainy day financial security. This situation put me in a world of hurt. The financial and emotional burden was almost too much to bare. Not being able to find this client to sue him and bring this situation to justice made it a million times worse. I felt helpless and hopeless. It took me more than a year to even begin to accept the severity of my situation. I am a strong and vivacious person, but this sincerely knocked the wind out of my sails.Then Brian came to rescue. He is a bonified genius private investigator, and a seasoned pro. I had wasted thousands of dollars on other PIs who wasted my time taking forever to come up with inaccurate information that lead me on a wild goose chase trying to track down this client. Like I said, in a matter of minutes, Brian located him. Evidently, this guy had several aliases, not to mention warrants out for his arrest for committing fraud. WOW. After locating this guy for me, Brian came up with a brilliant strategy to bait him in a way that he wouldn't be able to resist. And boom! Court papers were served with ease. Again,WOW! Brian essentially put me back in the drivers seat feeling empowered. What a sleuth in the true sense of the word! This PI is a game changer, and I am so grateful to now have him in my pocket. Based on my direct experience, if you need a miracle worker PI, Brian is the man for the job! Cheers to you, Brian for changing my life! More...

Recently someone stole some items from me and some of my friends. We all realized after a while that the culprit was someone we knew. Despite multiple police reports all naming the same suspect and the added seriousness that the stolen items included guns, the LAPD was not interested. They took the reports, called the suspect, told him they thought he didn't it, and then dropped the case. As more items went missing, we knew we had to do something and decided to hire a private investigator.I'd never hired a PI before, so I was very skeptical at first, and I've heard some horror stories, but I found LA Intelligence here on Yelp and after reading their stellar reviews, was pretty impressed. The suspect I later learned was a drug addict and possibly homeless so I did not set my expectations too high. After consulting with Brian, who made no promises, we decided to proceed with the investigation and it was not long before Brian had informed me that not only did they find the suspect, they actually befriended him and proceeded undercover. They got him to admit every detail of the crimes, including details I hadn't told the LAPD or Brian so at that point I was very certain this was the real deal. I was also given a very detailed report of every interaction with the suspect, with photographic proof. Brian then contacted LAPD to arrange to bring in an Undercover Police Detective which eventually led to his arrest.I am hoping that some of my stuff will be recovered and restitution will be ordered by the court, and I'll update this when any of that happens, but that will be a long road. It turns out that the suspect was planning more burglaries so in the interest of public safety, this ended very well for everyone. I was extremely impressed with Brian, LA Intelligence, and his entire team. This went far better than I could have ever hoped and I can guarantee Brian will be the first person I call for any incident in the future. If you have been the victim of a crime, the odds are very low the cops will do anything about it unless you do all their work for them and hand the evidence to them on a silver platter. Brian is the silver platter. My only regret here is that I waited so long to call him. More...

I was so stressed out by the time I called Brian for help, I rented my car to someone for Uber who didn't have good intentions from that start long story short he refused to give me my car back and block me. When I called Brian he answered right away and looked into the matter right away he found out everything he needed to get my car back.  Whenever I called Brian feeling bad and stressing he reassured me that it's Ok, he was very understanding that I'm a new business owner and gave me a big discount because he cares more about the person than the money and it showed because he picked up every call and answered every text no matter what of a very panicked person. He didn't like that I'm an honest working person and this not so nice person took advantage of me and he was determined to find him. He is very knowledgeable and got to work right away looking for the thief, it was only a matter of time before he found him. I filed a police report in the mean time and the night he was gonna go to address the police pulled the thief over with my car and he was arrested, but I'm 100 present sure if they didn't Brian was going to find him for me because he found all the addresses linked to this thief who stole my car. This all happened within 4 weeks  I highly recommend this place if you need help.  He is a no bullshit taking kind of guy and I'm sure that the thief would've been scared to mess with him and his team. They will get the work done. I'm so greatful to have my car back, and for Brian and his whole team. More...

This is the second time I have worked with Brian and LA Intelligence.  They are professional, reliable, efficient, prompt, communicative and excel at what they do.  They are not going to give you anything but exactly what they observe.  This is not a fly-by-night organisation but a top notch investigative team.  Not only Brian but the people he has working with him and for him.  I would use him again in heart beat.  Most importantly of all he is trustworthy.  And in their line of work you better have someone you can trust.  I would also add that Brian's prices are reasonable and he is not trying to rip you off.  In fact, just the opposite.  There was something I wanted done, which he could have easily done, but instead he said we shouldn't do because it would be a waste of my money and not get the results I was looking for.

I have been living with a chronic disabling condition for a number of years now.   I used to be able "to take care of myself" pretty well and now, with humility, I've had to accept that I can't. That I need help from time to time. That has not been easy for me to accept. A few months ago I noticed that some things had been stolen from my home. I then experienced a few strange encounters with people that I thought I could trust:  Keys missing, a few stories here and there that didn't add up. Bottom line, I began to get scared and I did not know where to turn. After speaking with my doctor he convinced me that as a vulnerable adult there was no shame in asking for help and for wanting to be secure in my person and property. He suggested I call Brian at LA Intelligence who had helped other patients of his in the past. Apparently I was not his only patient who had needed help or feared for his safety. What can I tell you?  From the moment I spoke to Brian I calmed down for the first time in weeks. Within one hour (yes one hour) of my initial call, Brian had arranged for someone to be with me and to not leave my side until the situation was brought under control. When that took longer than anticipated Brian arranged the scheduling of other people to be with me. He'll kill me for saying this but because I needed more time than I had budgeted for originally, he even worked with me on the cost. What more could I have asked for?The people that work for Brian were all first-rate individuals. Caring, compassionate, capable of defending themselves and me. Good at de-fusing volatile situations. They got me through a VERY tough period. I could not be more grateful. Brian, the owner,is a very no-nonsense guy. He takes action. If you're in trouble he won't wait around while you dither and possibly get hurt. I sincerely felt he was there to protect me at all times. Do I wish I had needed his services?  Of course not. Am I glad that my doctor recommended him and his high-quality team to me? You better believe it. If you ever feel at risk or in danger or just need someone to advocate for you when you feel vulnerable, these are your guys. This company deserves six stars. More...

I had put the car on swapalease as an outright sale and was contacted by a scam artist and I urge anyone that is approached by someone third party about sub leasing your car to AVOID IT, especially in California... He had promised to help get me out of this lease or make the payments until the lease ran out... Every month was hassle, late payment, etc... The least was due to run out at the end of this month and he had not made two consecutive payments and had given no indication he would turn the car over... So i contacted Brian at LA Intelligence to help me... He had many strong methods he presented me of which he could help get the car back for me... It seemed impossible after chasing after car for so long and basically feeling it was not going to be returned.... within THREE days ONLY, the car was recovered... THREE DAYS... that was just remarkable to say the least... They were ALL over him and he had no choice but to hand the car back over...

When the scumbag asked for more money for ‘phase 2’ of the scam, I was at my wit’s end and sought out help.Had I known that this experience would be so straightforward and simple I would have hired them much sooner.I chose them because they have been around since 1990, which is something I look for in a company.

I had a very tough case that involved identity theft. I called Brian and his team after the thieves had taken my identity and ran with it. They went as far as trying to get a home loan with my credit! In the midst of all this they kept spending under my name with some mysterious account. This was of course insanely stressful because I had spent hours on the phone with all of my banks and nobody claimed these transactions. I tried to think of any possible cracks, thought maybe they were hacking into my accounts some how. When I called Brain I was in a frenzy. He told me they don't usually take these sort of cases but would help me out because he could tell it was extremely distressing for me. They walked me through the process and even sent a hacker out to my place to check all of our systems and make sure they didn't have access to anything. Union Bank turned out to be the culprit, a week or so after I had alerted them to the theft they received a call from the thieves impersonating me. They requested a new credit card sent out to their address. I hadn't made any changes to my personal info since I opened the account around 5 years ago! Just Crazy.

Brian came with me to the VA to look for records and also got some photos of the main site where they do FDA testing on helpless patients. Here are some photos of the research documents he got for me and the photos on site at Lasky.

Now with his help, we are going after the post-judgment recovery.I happened to read Jasmine K's recent review about Brian, and I'm sure that the reviewer must have been writing about someone else, and some other agency. How could any reviewer pass judgment on the integrity of an agency when their services were not even engaged? My experience with Brian has been nothing short of extreme respect and professionalism, showing so much personal interest in my case. I really don't know what I would have done without his support.If you need assistance for a complicated case, I can say that LA Intelligence won't let you down. I cannot imagine that any other private investigator would have seen me through this entire process so thoroughly, half of which he didn't even charge me for. Don't pass up the opportunity to get the best outcome for your situation, with Brian's unparalleled services. More...

LA intelligence has helped me a lot with my case. I need to find someone ASAP and detective Mathews  was really nice and responsive! I'm glad I've decided to proceed with my case with this company because they did not just took my money and disappeared like some other companies might do, instead, they were helpful and reliable. Their email and phone commission was fast, which is important. Thank you a lot and I'll recommend you for sure to others! More...

While perusing eBay from my home in New York, I found a car I really wanted in Los Angeles. The price was excellent but, after speaking to the seller and finding out that he was not taking deposits, just full payment, I became suspicious. Being a retired police sergeant myself, I figured a private investigator might be able to handle looking at the car.After a google search, I found Brian's number at LA  Intelligence and gave them a call at 1 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon. My call was met with a professional, can do, attitude. I gave Brian the information on the seller and the location of the car and within one hour I received photographs of the location and notification that there was no car at the location. Brian advised that this was most likely a scam and his recommendation was to stay away. The quick work and quick follow up that LA Intelligence provided saved me from sending quite a bit of money to a guy that was obviously a scammer. I would highly recommend LA Itelligence to anyone looking for investigations in the Los Angeles area More...

I hired Brian at LA Intelligence after an employee filed a fraudulent workers comp claim. As our 4th generation family-run small business had never dealt with anything like this before I hired Brian because I wanted to protect our business and our personal assets. I was also angry that someone we tried to help took advantage of the system. Unbeknownst to me this is the 7th workers comp claim the employee has filed in the past 5 years. The workers comp insurance didn’t explain anything about how the process would work or even the fact that they had a lawyer “on our side.” They just wanted to pay him off and increase our premiums without informing me of anything!!! What a joke! Brian is very efficient in his work and has kept me updated on a regular basis. His work slowly put our minds at ease. Brian has gone above and beyond helping us and has been very generous with his time and fees. He is passionate about his work and I highly recommend his company. More...

I am so relieved I called LA intelligence! I was really hesitant about what to do ever since I started suspecting my husband was cheating and even though I was really distraught over the whole situation I felt I was in really good hands working with LA Intelligence. Their team was able to provide me with the proof and, more importantly, the piece of mind that I needed. I am so glad everything has successfully come to an end and I highly recommend using LA Intelligence! More...

Tried other agencies before using Brian and to no avail they were unable to help me. I recently hired Brian, LA Intelligence Inc. , to locate someone that was untraceable and was using a disguise to maliciously stalk me on my phone and social media. To my surprise, Brian and his team found this person in 1 day.  Brian was also able to provide me with invaluable background information to provide to the court. He did all of this for a very reasonable fee and with a very short turnaround time. I was thoroughly impressed with Brian and his team and will definitely be using their services again. More...

Just wanted to add an additional testament to Brian's honesty and integrity..This is the reply I received from Brian after I asked him if the review I wrote was okay before I posted it.  I had never done that before posting a review but because he was so helpful I wanted to offer to do something to help his business. Becky,Thank you for writing those kind words and I would never ask the client 2 change a single word because I am very passionate about my reviews because it not only gives other potential clients the peace of mind they are looking for when they hire a private investigator because our profession doesn't have the best reputation to begin with but I also like sleeping at night knowing that every single review that's on my profile was written by a real client and speaks from their heart and mind and I am very proud of my reputation and I have actually asked Yelp in the past to remove a couple of reviews that friends have written thinking they were doing me a favor.I have been offered this opportunity in the past my other clients who have been just as satisfied with my services As You Are and it's important to me that you are thoughts come from you and not from me although I appreciate the offer it's a great review and I'm I don't that you gave me an opportunity to review it.

Brian really takes customer service to another level!  I hired him for his PI services, and we ran into an obscene amount of bad luck trying to obtain the information that I needed.  Brian kept in frequent contact with me throughout the process and maintained complete transparency as to what was going on.  Because of the unforeseeable problems, I actually ended up with more fires to put out.  In response, Brian not only refunded me in full, but he continued to try to obtain the information that I needed free of charge.  I literally have not seen any company go so far above and beyond to make a client happy and to rectify a difficult situation.  Brian is extremely knowledgeable, and based on his handling of my extremely difficult situation, he clearly places the utmost importance on customer satisfaction. While things didn't go exactly as planned, Brian did everything in his power to help.  When working with Brian you can tell that you have a partner who will do everything possible to ensure an equitable outcome, even when Murphy's Law is in full swing.

Brian is an honest guy and loyal professional in a dirty business filled with scam artists.  My son´s mother is a true criminal, but also a very cunning con artist.  She fooled two other PI's before my family found Brian and got him on the case.  LA Intelligence is a great company run by a man with a passion and intelligence for the work that is surpassed by none.  He will go the extra mile.  He will not rip you off.  He will be honest with you whether you have a case or not.  He can also suss out if you are for real or illegitimate yourself, don't go in their trying to con him.  My son's mother has conned the police, the Family Court but not Brian.  I was worried I would never get justice until he helped out.  While our case is on going, we have made long strides in exposing her true nature to the proper authorities.  She is basically working as a prostitute, an alcoholic and possible drug dealer and in the country illegally, claiming to be poor while she is raking in the cash, and tormenting my life with death threats from her boyfriend and the Thai mafia.  Only when Brian stepped in have I felt the tide begin to turn. The first PI charged me twice the price for zero usable evidence.  The second one bowed out when the case got deep and he realised that he wasn't dealing with some paranoid delusion by a white collar dilettante.  I am a hard working and successful artist and businessman that raises my son alone.  I got conned by a Thai hooker that tried to take me for all I had including my son.  The case is on going.  But with people like Brian on my side we can hopefully dump this trash in the dumpster of hell reserved for those that prey on children where she belongs.  I wouldn't hire anybody else and will continue to use Brian and his team until she is behind bars or deported where she and her boyfriend can no longer abuse my son with the blessing of the LA Superior court.

L.A. Intelligence is the absolute best. They went above and beyond my expectations. I needed help finding a person whose off leash dog attacked my dog with very little information and not only were they able to find her, but they were also able to help me serve her with several documents. They are incredibly accommodating and helpful. Very fast and efficient service. And Brian even went out of his way to help me during the holiday season due to a time crunch that I had! I would definitely use them again for any investigation or service processing needs that I have in the future!  Thank you so much for all of your help LA Intelligence! I really appreciate it!

Providing the results that satisfy our clients especially some that give us personal satisfaction like busting a claimant who alleges they can't work and their injuries are exaggerated or faked all together, catching and making cases against pedophiles and sex offenders or any case where children are the victims. Also finding missing loved ones for worried parents whether it be adults or teenagers who are homeless and addicted to drugs or alcohol.

I knew I would be a natural and come from the corporate arena as well as flying planes for the DEA undercover busting drug smugglers.

We are reasonably priced, results oriented and have more 5 star reviews than any other P.I. in the entire U.S.
