If you think you need a private investigator, then you have a serious personal or business issue that requires expert assistance.
Private investigation can find proof and information that protects you, your family or your business.
A professional private investigator is licensed, has extensive experience, abides the law, advises you on your situation (without interest for themselves), and explains what they can and cannot do to help you.
And they should always give you a free consultation.
I have used Thomas Martin’s services for many years and have found his work to be of the highest standards. He gets the job done quickly, efficiently and reliably. He is aware of the law and always submits quality reports. I highly recommend Martin Investigative Services to any attorney, business or individual who is in need of a professional investigator.

The president of a major software company in San Diego was referred to Martin Investigative Services 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 emphatically refused the charge. In a case like this, Martin Investigative Services is as skeptical as anyone else, but he just kept insisting, “I didn’t do it.”
Martin Investigative Services’ private investigators reviewed trial transcripts in detail, and subsequently interviewed and interrogated trial witnesses.
New witnesses were found and interviewed, until a smoking gun was found which not only cleared the client of all wrongdoing, but proved that the mother and stepdaughter had conspired to accuse the 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 the client was set free.
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.”

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.
