East Coast Investigations was amazing to me. They were professional, experienced and confident. Each and every call was answered promply and they never gave up. Patrick explained exactly what would happen and helped put my mind at ease. It was thanks to him that I received what was due to me. I never expected Patrick and his associates to be so down to earth and kind. Thank you so much for everything you did for me.

My law firm had a tough situation where we had to find and serve someone for litigation. East Coast Investigations took the information I had on short notice, and was able to do what other investigators couldn't do, including determining that the defendant was no longer in the country. I'll definitely use them for any New York investigations I need in the future.

I recently had an opportunity to work with East Coast Investigations. He was so responsive to my urgent need and took care of it right away. Very professional and reasonably priced. While I hope to not have a need for their service in the future, I have added them to my contact address book and I will have them on speed dial. I would definitely use them again if the need arises.

I had the pleasure to work with the owner of this company on a very sensitive, complex and somewhat dangerous matter. Mr. Anastasi was able to guide me through the entire process from beginning to end like a true professional. It was like second nature to him and i felt extremely comfortable from the first time we spoke right up to the very end of this nightmare project I posed upon him. If I could give him 1000 stars I would. What an amazing, compassionate, knowledgeable individual. I can now sleep at night thanks to this company. Thank You Thank You Thank You
