Charlie is hands down the best. I found myself in a bit of a situation with someone trying to get money from me and tarnish my name and he really put my mind at ease. If you need a P.I. meet with this man, he explained my whole situation to me and told me how to handle it and if things progress further to come back to him. And if I EVER need a P.I. again in the future I will come to him and recommend him to friends and family

I was very happy with the work they did for me. I have been looking for my brother for over twenty years. Charlie was able to locate him and his telephone number very quickly. I would highly recommend them.

Mr. Downey was very prompt in following up with me regarding my request. Expectations were met and then some. In a very timely manner he was able to obtain all the information I needed. He was straightforward, courteous, and professional. I've never hired a private investigator before and he made the experience smooth and effortless. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Downey to anyone needing these services. Thanks again.
