Our History

With skills learned from some of the country’s most sophisticated investigators and a robust network of information and industry resources, our firm was established to provide in-depth, high quality research and investigations for complex business and legal matters. Over the years, we have served behind the scenes of some of the nation’s biggest and most sensitive business and financial investigations and have helped a wide variety of corporations, financial institutions, law firms, and government entities with their information, risk management and problem-solving needs.
