The history of private investigation for strip clubs
Our case of the week involves two strip club cases we worked over the 2015 holidays.
If you’re wondering exactly what private investigators do for strip clubs, here’s a brief history.
Nanny background checks AND surveillance
Our case of the week actually involves two different cases that we completed by conducting surveillance on nannies. These cases really brought home the need to have a private investigator perform background checks and surveillance on nannies when your children are solely in their care. It is critical to the overall process that you have…
Case of the week: Runaway Michael Ryan Peterson
In the late evening hours of Sunday, October 18, 2015, 6 patients escaped the Sovereign Health Group (a rehabilitation center in El Cajon, California) by climbing over the fences.
5 were quickly found, but a month later, 16-year-old Michael Ryan Peterson was still missing.
This case landed on my desk on November 17, 2015 – nearly 30 full days after Michael went missing – when Michael’s grandfather called our Newport Beach office.
This is the story of the entire case, and what happened to Michael.

Case of the Week: Outside firms can’t reduce your IRS debt
This week, a fairly sophisticated businessman we’ll call “Trevor” came to our San Francisco office for tax relief help. He requested we research the best firm out there to assist people and businesseses when they fall behind on their taxes. Trevor’s visit would be brief with no retainer or funds being exchanged. The people that…
Case of the week: Finding a good wealth manager
Our case of the week involves a three-generational family that had just lost the patriarch of the family, “George”, who died a few weeks ago at the age of 91. His wife of 66 years, “Lucille”, is in relatively good health at age 89. Unfortunately, she could not say the same about her financial portfolios…
Case of the week: Surveillance case for out-of-control teenager
For our case of the week, we were hired by parents to perform surveillance on their 16-year-old daughter, “Shannon”. She was abusing drugs and alcohol, not attending school and had actually struck her mother in the face on two occasions. In 2015, we have had approximately 50 cases where a parent or custodial guardian has…
