MIS took the time to help me obtain more information on some traffic tickets from over 15 years ago that came up on a background check. With the county courts closed due to Coronavirus, I was struggling to find this information on my own and I needed to provide this information right away. Tom Martin took time out of his morning to help me with the additional information needed – he was very knowledgeable and delivered this within the same hour!
I am very grateful for Tom and highly recommend MIS. 5 stars all around. THANK YOU TOM!
I am proud to state that I have exclusively used the professional services of Tom Martin and his firm for more than 20 years. Whenever the need arises for a private investigator, the only name that I consider for my clients is Tom. In my 40 year career as a family lawyer, I recognized the importance of professional investigators. Unfortunately, many of the investigators that I have encountered have not satisfied the professional standard that I expect. I have utilized the firm in some very delicate and discrete investigations and situations requiring a strong security presence. In every engagement, both my clients and myself have been completely satisfied. I have no reservations in endorsing Tom and his firm for any investigative assignments.
Successful people know that to be the best, you model the best. I cannot recommend Martin PI any higher! In a five-minute conversation with experienced people you can save thousands by bypassing sales types. They do this by cutting directly to the heart based on years and years of passionate pursuit of best practices and adding massive value to their clients. They are an invaluable part of my team and Tom is my most valued mentor!
