I conducted my own investigation on a personal and private matter. After a 6 month long waiting game (building a 4” Binder) for my own case, I figured out that this is what I wanted to pursue. Not only did I help myself, I know I wanted to help others solve their cases.

ir commercials on TV and they were also highly recommended by the non-profit Social Justice organization the NAACP. My Boyfriend, was wrongfully convicted of a crime and is serving a prison sentence in a State Prison facility. While a writ of Habeas Copus Court appeal is pending for the unlawful imprisonment and detention, we sought out an independent review of the Court’s 1,000 pages of trial transcripts to identify specific areas for challenging the improper conviction in case the Court Appeal is denied. We had an excellent experience that ESA Investigation delivered with positive results for us!

How do I choose the best Private Investigator?
There are several factors worth considering when choosing your private investigator. These include:
Referrals - You will likely be sharing personal information with this person, so it is important to find someone reliable. Do as much research on the private investigator as possible. Ask trusted friends for recommendations and always check reviews.
Office-based - Make sure they have an office. If your private detective only works out of restaurants and over the phone, that is a sign you should get out now. You need to know where to find this person if they don’t follow through on their obligations.
Experience - Ask about their experience and education. To make sure your job gets done right, find a detective who specialises in the task you need. Ask about their experience and the results of their past work.
Insurance - Most serious private investigators are insured. While it is not necessary for all jobs, if something were to happen during the work, you as the hirer, would be held liable if there was no insurance coverage.
Confidentiality - You are very likely to deal with sensitive information when you are working with a private investigator, and you need to be sure they will be discreet and respectful of information shared between the two of you.
Contract - Your initial consultation with a private detective should be free, and from there, they should be able to outline anticipated costs. If you choose to follow through with the work, make sure all fees and expectations are clearly outlined in a contract.
Be prepared - Brace yourself for what a private investigator may uncover. Be sure you are ready for whatever they may find, especially when it involves people close to you. You may hope the private investigator will prove your fears wrong, but be sure that you will be able to handle all outcomes.
You can be confident that any of the local private investigators on Bark will give you a reliable and professional service.
How do I check the credentials of my Private Investigation Service?
