The most popular type of personal background check we do involves people talking to someone they’ve never met on the Internet.
In about 7 out of 10 of these cases, the person is not in fact who they say they are.
Gathering information to put yourself at ease with a relationship (or potential relationship) is not prying or intrusive, it’s smart.
I have used Martin Investigative Services since returning to the practice of law. Their work is first rate! Their reports are reliable, and if called upon to testify, Martin’s investigators are well prepared and extremely professional.

Personal background checks allow you to learn a lot more about the people around you and what those people know about you.
If you are in a committed relationship with someone, it would serve you well to get a background check sooner rather than later.
Love may be blind, but when someone has bad credit, it’s a dealbreaker.

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.
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.

What’s a typical day like?
A typical day for me can be spent dealing with locating friends and family, performing surveillance on cheating spouses, providing advice on personal and corporate security or investigating on artist and business scams.
