I recently engaged Atlas investigations to help me with a personal situation and I can't speak highly enough of Frank and his team. Frank has incredible follow-up, he is professional, discreet and also very kind. This was a difficult situation and I appreciated Frank's sensitivity. The work they did was through, detailed and they had prompt communication throughout the time they were working on my case. I highly recommend Atlas Investigations.

Frank Estrella is truly a star. I needed info for a civil rights lawsuit and he found what I had spent months on trying to find INSTANTLY. Not only that, hey, we're in the bay area so I assumed it would cost a fortune. Not at all- he did the work for a very low, unbelievable fee. He certainly is highly skilled and he works for a very fair price. He gets my highest recommendation ever!

I have hired Frank and his firm for approximately 3 separate engagements. Each time is the same professional and fast service. The most recent was a pretty complicated engagement. The firm not only delivered but delivered fast and with full confidentiality.

I've known Frank Estrella for a few years. He's been a good friend, business associate and a private investigator helping me with me needs. Frank is not only responsive, be very attentive to his client's needs. he is very professional in attitude, business conduct and he will not mislead you in any way. no hidden charges or fees. He is everything you would expect from private investigator. He gets the job as quickly as possible and if there are deadlines that need to be met, Frank places priority on those cases. Frank keeps all client business private. he doesn't discuss his cases with anyone other than those who need to know or has a legal right to know.
Most importantly, Frank is very loyal to his customers. In addition to the work he has done for me over the years, I also referred friends to him and he treated them with just as much importance and loyalty. Need a good reliable investigator? Look no further. Call Atlas Investigations and Frank will take care of you.

I went to Frank after trying to do my own research for a while, but was unsuccessful. I had two cases which were complicated. Walking in the door, I was very nervous, but he immediately makes you feel right at home. Frank's professionalism and friendliness is outstanding! He explained very well what was going on and answered all of my questions. He is straight forward and kind and runs an extremely professionally office.
I felt that I was in good hands. I was happily surprised with the amount of information he was able to provide me! It was a very thorough and confidential investigation and in a timely manner. I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you, Atlas Investigations!
