Cutty was very professional and has tremendous experience doing investigations, and they even advised me on the advantages and disadvantages of the strategies available in many types of circumstances.

Cutty Investigations went above and beyond for my family. The team of investigators was skilled and efficient in helping us locate a missing family member. What started as a needle in a haystack situation has turned into quite the success story. It has been long journey and we aren't out of the woods yet, but we can thank Cutty for helping us save a life. I consider them family and would recommend them to anyone needing a service like this.

If i could give negative stars, i would. complete waste of money. all PI's have been a waste. you have to spoon feed them info. no real investigative skills. they can't even tail someone. they gather incorrect info. all pertinent info. I had to obtain myself. And you cant say or do anything about it, because after all, they don't guarantee any results. Quite a racket these guys have. What other business do you give thousands of dollars to and they don't have to provide you with anything. Highway robbery

During an unfortunate time of my life, I found Cutty Investigations and they had helped me uncover a person that I thought I knew for the last 5 years of my life to be anything BUT what was told all the time. I cannot thank Cutty enough for their commitment in helping me find the truth.
