Josh and his team really went the extra mile to make sure nothing was missed when it came to my case. I couldn't of found a better team to help me out, they were all very professional and also caring. I felt so comfortable when speaking to Josh, I could tell he cared and my case mattered to him! There really is no team out there like his, thank you ECPI!

Let me first say I never thought I would ever need to search for pi services! After talking to a couple of attorneys for referrals I contact mr David with ecpi. After about 3 weeks all my questions were answered with undeniable proof. If u need someone professional and confidential call mr David.

I needed some answers during covid-19 lock-down. Mr. David was able to gather all the pictures i needed to prove husband of 17 years was being unfaithful. It wasn't cheap but worth every penny. If your husband is not acting right. Call Mr. David

The most emotional distress part of my life I have been thru is when my daughter went to ECU and started dating a suspicious guy. I called Mr. David after several attorneys in Wilmington told me he would answer all my questions. After three weeks of investigating Mr. David found out my daughter new bf was beating her and using her new car to deliver drugs. If you have any unanswered questions please call Mr. David and let him help you bring closure to you emotional rollercoaster.
