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 never used a background check services before and I wasn’t sure how much info they could really provide. I was very pleasantly surprised how much info Martin Investigative services was able to provide so quickly. I would definitely use them again.

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.
Before you invest, before you date, before you enter in any kind of relationship, contact us and let us help you ease your mind.

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.
A good private investigator knows better than anyone: your intuition is almost always correct in most situations.

Private investigator Tom Martin is based in Southern California, but his work frequently brings him to Las Vegas.
“We get hired by people who get hurt coming in on I-15, or people who get hurt in the hotels,” said Martin, 50. Sometimes, he mentions, he is hired by the party who gets sued by a deceptive person just claiming to be hurt.

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.

I gave my cell number to private investigator Thomas Martin, a former federal agent and now president of Martin Investigative Services in Newport Beach, Calif., and asked him to do his thing. A few days later a three-pound, 150-plus-page dossier arrived at my front door via FedEx. Martin didn’t trust regular mail given the nature of what it contained, which was tons of my private information.
“We didn’t even scratch the surface,” Martin told me later. He also made a point of telling me that I was “cleaner than a Safeway chicken.”

The company continues to provide excellent service. Their response time and customer service is on point, even when faced with my issues I tend to throw on their plate. I deal with state and federal regulators that value the quality of their report services. Happy to recommend them.
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!
