Regardless of whether each passing minute brings you closer to potential financial trouble from an internal defrauder or a child custody battle hinges on key witness statements, we can assist. In fact, we may be able to help you act more quickly on your case if we can obtain sufficient evidence in a quick timeframe, as many circumstances are time-sensitive.

Our Private Investigators undergo rigorous training as well as full background checks through the RCMP. The former ensures their suitability, certification, and situational awareness while the latter assures a clean record you can trust as the client. Always remember to only work with fully certified agencies and Private Investigators.
