The Best of Orange County

Known as America's PI, with corporate offices in Orange County, Thomas G. Martin provides his list of trustworthy local businesses.

There are a lot of "top 10 lists" and directories on the Web. This one is different. With 35-plus years experience as an Orange County private investigator (and as a former Federal agent), Thomas G. Martin and his staff have managed to identify a number of trustworthy, reputable local businesses. We have compiled the following list of companies with whom we have had personal or professional experience. If you have a bad experience with any of the companies or individuals here, please let us know.
