San Diego private investigation case studies:
Here are a few real-life examples of recent private investigation cases we've had in San Diego:
San Diego Case Study:
Background Check
An executive business woman in San Diego found us through the Internet. She was dating a man who claimed he was a "Navy Seal" who had "served in Iraq and Afghanistan."
The problem was she felt something wasn't right.
Results:
The private investigators at Martin Investigative Services performed a background check and extensive surveillance.
It was determined that the subject was never in the military but, in fact, an unemployed security guard with an expired guard card license. The client ended the relationship immediately.
A good private investigator knows better than anyone: your intuition is almost always correct in most situations.

San Diego Case Study:
Mexico Ransom Demand
A wealthy businessman approached us when he saw that we do work in Mexico, but are located in the US. We met at his San Diego office.
His sister had been kidnapped, and the client had received a ransom note.
Results:
Martin Investigative Services is one of the very few US-based companies that provide private investigation in Mexico.
Through surveillance, we determined where the client's sister was being held, and advised Mexican law enforcement - who rescued the client's sister.
We advise all clients to work through the proper law enforcement agencies in cases like this.
Occasionally, there are situations when experienced private investigators can provide faster results and resolution. Contact us for a free, confidential consultation.
San Diego Case Study:
Overturned Conviction
The president of a major software company in San Diego was referred to us by another private investigator.
The client had been accused of rape by his stepdaughter and had been convicted in a court of law.
The client came to us and emphatically refused the charge. In a case like this, we are as skeptical as anyone else but he just kept insisting, "I didn't do it."
Results:
Our private investigators reviewed trial transcripts in detail after which we interviewed and interrogated trial witnesses. We then found and interviewed new witnesses until we found a smoking gun which not only cleared our client of all wrongdoing but proved that the mother and stepdaughter conspired to accuse our client of rape in an effort to obtain all the assets in the pending divorce case.
The guilty verdict was overturned, the accusations were proven false and our client was set free.
