I have been in a long distant marriage because of the nature of my job, my husband cheated on me times without number since I was not around to make sure he was caught in the act. so I started to notice his activities closely because I always had a feeling that I was missing something before I knew it I found my self playing detective and gathering together a lot of clues that led me to understand the type of person he really is. I tried all I could to get into his phone until my friends introduced me to Agent SHERLOCKSTORM @ YAHOOCOM. He is a certified professional private investigator and ethical hacker and also an IT specialist In my friends company. I had my doubts about his services at first until he delivered and provided me complete access to his device for after 4hours. I wasn't sure how he did it, I told him all I wanted and provided all the information he requested for and I was able to see all that my husband does on his device. I got all the proof I needed to confront him and I'm glad I contacted him. You can reach out to him on SHERLOCKSTORM @ YAHOOCOM or SHERLOCKSTORM.US More...

I was a bit skeptical about using a Private Investigator due to the expense of it all but Oscar GB Investigators (ogbhacks (@) gmail, com) was very efficient and guided me the whole way. Sadly my case was an infidelity related case, I was loosing my mind and drowning in my thoughts because I couldn't get enough proofs to support my acquisitions, However I reached out to Oscar GB Investigators and to my utmost surprise, I was sent a Link that gave me full access to my husbands device. The things I saw broke my heart into a million pieces, I could read his live text messages, deleted text messages, I listened to live conversations any time he was on the phone with her, I could track his location, basically it looked like I had his device with me. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. The evidence Oscar GB Investigators managed to obtain was just want I needed for closure on an unhealthy relationship. I recommend you reach him on his email ogbhacks (@) gmail, com. He's top notch! More...

INFIDELITY/CHEATING broke me down. I remember I had trouble keeping track of a handful cheating partner's phone. I tried several methods but I was met with ill luck.
Weeks ago, I used to feel awful about my partner's cheating attitude. I wanted to catch him red-handed. I was scrolling through Bark when I found a review on SHERLOCKSTORM. Someone recommended a private investigator named Jeff. I sent him an email at SHERLOCKSTORM(at)YAHOOcom explaining how I wanted to have complete access to my husband's call log, texts, social media activities, media gallery, deleted or not, and his precise location day in and day out.
I speedily paid for his services and I hadn't even finished watching my favorite TV show before he contacted me saying he had gained complete access to his phone. I got concrete evidence. What I saw was unbelievable, I was hugely disappointed, not surprised. I used the evidence I got to file for a divorce as soon as I could. I'm thankful to JEFF for helping me out of my dilemma and affirming my suspicion. I was pleased with the service, to be honest. If you are having trust issues and need valid evidence concerning your partner's attitude, how about you contact JEFF? He just might help bring to light what's been hidden from you.
Contact Him right away at SHERLOCKSTORM(at)YAHOO(dot)Com or visit his website at SHERLOCKSTORM(dot)US

Joyce investigations is an all around wonderful investment to make for all of your investigative needs. I reached out in need of help locating my biological father, which is a very touchy and emotional subject for me. I requested a quote and within the hour(if that) I was on the phone With Karen Joyce, within 2 days had a full report and within 4 days I spoke to my father for the first time in my life, not only did she go above and beyond in her work detail as well as her punctuality, she had also showed much empathy towards me and my situation. Joyce investigations also does a very good job of keeping everything confidential and strictly professional. Karen Joyce has my full stamp of approval and I highly recommend this firm for all PI needs. More...

It was truly a positive experience working with Joyce Investigations. I owe Karen, my assigned investigator, the highest debt of gratitude for her extensive research, exhaustive thoroughness, and high level of professionalism in pursuing my requested assignment, not to mention the very timely turnaround time for accomplishing her tasks following our initial conversation.
I am most satisfied!
Also, as one who has never had experience dealing with private investigators, her performance, professional demeanor over the phone, level of dilligence demonstrated in her report and the time it took to complete, have thoroughly shattered any stereotypical preconceptions, conscious or unconscious, that I may have had in considering a private investigator in the first place.
Rest assured, that any time I may be in need of a private investigator's services, Joyce Investigations will be, not just my first choice, but my only choice! In short, they are my hero!

Karen prepared over a dozen background reports for me. She found derogatory information that influenced my hiring for my legal practice. I will continue to use her services in the future. More...

We have gone through several housekeepers and contractors at our home in Corona del Mar. We hired Karen to investigate all of them before we hired them. She did a much more thorough job than we expected. My husband ended up hiring Karen to validate several possible business partners and their companies as well - great job all around. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I like solving puzzles, assessing people, and synthesizing large volumes of information. For over 25 years I have been conducting due diligence, background checks, corporate and fraud investigations, and surveillance, both for the US Intelligence Community (USIC) and for my private clients. Cyber security is now everyone's responsibility, and my clients need guidance to protect against hacking and identity theft.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After a successful court case against my landlord in New York City in 1999, I began helping friends and family with their investigative needs. In 2011, I I had my first big "win" - I call it my "mini-Madoff case" - in which I secured a nearly $400,000 judgment for a client. Many in my social circle were both fascinated and horrified at how easy white collar crime could be. Colleagues, friends, and acquaintances would confide in me how they, too, had been scammed, and wanted recourse. I have helped clients with tenant-landlord disputes, debtor exams, traffic accident litigation, and embezzlement -- both overseas and domestically.
Why should our clients choose you?
I stand out among PIs based on my extensive background in the intelligence community working on classified projects. My investigative skills have been honed in both domestic and overseas locations, investigating the most challenging cases. Specialized capabilities include asset search and recovery (including foreign-based), surveillance, evidence gathering for civil and criminal disputes, corporate due diligence, and both basic and comprehensive background checks. I have lived in 4 continents and speak 3 foreign languages. My work product is taut yet rigorously thorough.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. In fact, I often work with clients remotely. For encrypted reports, to maximize privacy and discretion, I use Proton email.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I use Zoom for video chats as well as FaceTime for those without familiarity with Zoom.
