Today’s Investigation understood the task and went above and beyond to finish the assignment (spending extra time and effort). They were very responsive and understanding. I would hire them again if I needed assistance.

Carla with Today's Investigation came to my rescue when I had a personal family estate matter that needed to be 'researched' while a certain family member was in town being sneaky after another family member passed away. Carla replied to my inquiry about hiring a PI within minutes. When you have never hired a PI before and don't really even know what you need, it was wonderful talking to Carla to better understand what details and information I needed to find out to strengthen my case and whether it was even possible! It is important if you are thinking about hiring any private investigator that you understand what they can legally do and what they are actually able to do. This is not like the movies. Be very clear about your expectations up front before you sign off on the contract, find out how many hours she anticipates needing, that you both agree on the objective and methods, and ask about what the most important 'tasks' are for her to investigate if you are short on budget. Communication is key. Keep in mind that Carla is not going to chase people down with a trench coat and detective hat like in the movies. Once Carla committed to my case, she was on it for several days until I had the surveillance (both pictures and videos) that I needed to strengthen my case. She texted and called me regularly throughout those days and we decided when we had enough information to end the surveillance and the case. She was very valuable to me in a time of great need and urgency. Reach out to her if you have any doubts about her capabilities. I think you will get a better idea of her abilities and personality once you get on a phone call with her. She was quick to respond to me!

Wanted to find out if my wife was cheating and leaving her daughter while she went out and messed around and partied. Today's Investigations was very quick and discreet and provided great pictures and stayed on target. Thank you so much

I just started working with Todays Investigation and already feel at ease with the process and confident that I'll get the information I need. My investigator is very supportive and obviously experienced in investigation.
