I appreciated him taking the time to explain how the investigation works. He explained how the information is gathered to produce the report and what the limitations are.

I contacted TBG, to hopefully assist with conducting background research on someone & locating a relative that I haven’t spoken with in over 10 years. I must say that I was surprised at how fast they were able to provide the information for both of my requests. The results were phenomenal and they were very professional throughout the process. TBG will definitely get my repeat business if necessary. Thank you so very much!!!!!!!

I appreciate the explanation as to why the group is unable to guarantee that my lawyer will be able to use any of the information in the report … I also like Mr Williams thorough explanation of what an investigator can & cannot do … it’s always good to know what I’m getting in to before signing on

This was my first time employing a private investigator and was happy with the process and result. I received the information I needed within 24 hours. I wish I had done it sooner. I will definitely use TBG if I need this type of service again.

I reached out to the Bowden group to find someone’s wife. David was very helpful about the situation and did the best he could to find someone who didn’t want to be found. The communication about it was above and beyond he took all the information I had and found more than I could. I would use them again if I needed the help
