Ms. Lisa was so quick and fast collecting the appropriate documents I needed at the time! She was so sweet and gracious through the entire process and was such a joy to work with!! Will definitely use her again if needed!

I just had a conversation with Lisa regarding my situation (divorce/hidden assets). She was calm and patient with me as this is a very stressful situation for me. Her warmth and understanding alleviated some of my anxiety. Most importantly Lisa did not try to pressure me to take on a cost that could hurt my wallet. Advised me to speak with my lawyer first, as it would possibly be more cost effective (since I have already retained her). HOWEVER, I still signed up and made an account, should I need their assistance. I will let anyone looking for this service to about your Company. The response time was extremely prompt! Thank you Lisa!

Had tried many times to find biological mother thru the years with NO results. They found her within hours of being hired.

Lisa was a great help in running a background check for me. I was able to provide very limited information, but she quickly found everything I needed to confirm an identity. The report provided way more information than I actually needed but it’s helpful when there’s so much fraud these days. And everything was so quick and seamless through thumbtack that even though I only made initial contact in the morning, my case was closed by early afternoon.
