Testimonials

“This is the best report I have seen in 25 years of practicing law.”

“You understand Family Law better than any other investigator I have ever met.”

“The reason I wanted you off the stand is because that was the best report I have ever seen. I want to do business with you.”

“You are simply the best.”

"I highly recommend Creative Solutions for any investigative or background needs. They are always available – literally within minutes or hours of a request – to start a project."

“Creative Solutions and their team of specialists pulled off an unthinkable result – within 48 hours they located and served my ex who was hiding out at a short term rental in order to stay off the grid.”

“That was the best surveillance I’ve seen in 25 years!”

“After attempting but failing to document our claimant’s physical activities utilizing a nationwide surveillance vendor we turned to Creative Solutions. Their fast and deliberate attention to our case provided overwhelming evidence that our claimant was litigating in bad faith. The evidence was so overwhelming that we were able to forward to Law Enforcement for prosecution of fraud.”

“I like being able to use a regional investigations service provider on my cases. The attention and quality is far superior than the nationwide investigations service companies can provide.”
