A Message from J. J.,
January 2024 marked the start of our 35th year in business.
A week does not go by in which we achieve success for our clients that hire us to help solve the problems they are having with wayward spouses, employees who steal from them, locating and serving deadbeats, assisting in the criminal defense of clients, and providing foundation evidence for civil lawsuits our Clients have brought seeking restitution for serious injuries and deaths.
Newsletter Update
We stopped doing our newsletters in 2018 because we had gotten so busy, it was difficult at times to put together a comprehensive product. Recently, our website director asked if we can continue documenting our success, so that the many people seeking help would be able to realize we have a team available to help them with their problems.
During the 5 years we did not publicize our results, we of course continued with many successes.
Staff Update
Our Surveillance Division has a diversified staff, consisting of 2 females and 4 males. With over 50 years of experience, our team can handle infidelity cases, corporate thefts, workers comp, fraud, insurance, civil defense and general surveillance and are capable of capturing detailed video to enhance our clients positions in all types of litigation.

Our newly formed Civil Division boasts 6 very competent Investigators who are capable of finding detailed facts to assist individuals in their litigations trying to recover damages for death and injuries.
Our head administrator, Yesica Ramirez, is the glue that helps us communicate with our numerous clients, potential clients and keeps all of the cases flowing and moving on a timely basis.
Location Update
We’ve Moved!
After 16 years, we moved from our old location to a beautiful building on Champion Forest Dr., which I must say has been a great improvement in our operation.
Finally, we started an intern program in 2023, which has produced two Investigators who have recently graduated from College. The internship program has added even more depth to our team.
I certainly will not be able to document all of the great things we have done in the last 5 years but this newsletter will give some insight on some of our recent successes.
We hope to produce a newsletter at least every 6 months.
