I met someone on line. I wanted to find out if he was who he said he was. I contacted Steve Cash. He had results in a few days. It helped in my decision making process. I appreciated the professionalism of Steve Cash. I would use him again. More...
Nicko Papadopoulos
Private Investigators
Called me back and laid out the services and percentage rate to find the person. He gave no guarantees, but guaranteed he will give 110% effort. He also gave a clear and concise explanation of his service, which btw, was 2 to 3x's lower than other PI quotes! You need more professionals on this platform that are honest like this. Company. The rest are just trying to rip off the customer, when it costs the same price to do the same things! More...

Working with Steve was a great experience. He was professional and easy to communicate with. From the beginning, he made sure to understand exactly what I needed and kept me updated throughout the process. The results he provided were more than I expected. I’d absolutely recommend Steve to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy. More...
Bill
Steve was awesome. I appreciated the fact that his company is selective with what cases they take. You have a lot of law enforcement experience here and definitely not a money grab.
We talked over options and while I could have spent more money, he actually suggested we start at a VERY affordable price point that consisted of him doing records reviews vs paying a much more expensive retainer to put him at the physical location, which couldn’t be guaranteed. The typical business owner would have pushed for the higher price and tried to get me to spend more.
Company is very efficient and detailed and communication was outstanding. Super happy with result and thank you for your honesty during the process.
