The best asset you can have on your team to help your case! They analyzed situations, circumstances, and events in a way that set them up to gather evidence to not only boost my credibility, but also prove some extremely influential points in my case. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life was hiring them when I did and I worked with them over the course of 3 years. You will not regret hiring them, and they are well worth the money!

Working with Core Investigations was an incredibly positive experience. Great service, excellent communication, and they were so very respectful of my time (and budget). I got updates and information every step of the way, even the smallest detail. I am truly grateful for these guys. And FYI, all Investigators with this company are former LEO.
