Before founding No Nonsense Investigations, he worked with Spartan Detective Agency in New Jersey during the 1980s, where he built a reputation for a strong work ethic, sound judgment, thorough investigative work and attention to detail.

His approach has not changed since. Get the facts. Protect the client. Work the case with professionalism and determination until there is something real to report.

Other investigative services

These sit beneath the missing persons work. Any of them can run alongside an open case, or stand on their own.

Skip tracing and locates

Finding a current address, employer or associate for someone who has moved on, gone quiet or does not want to be found. Used for debtors, heirs, former tenants, witnesses and family members alike.

Background investigations

A documented picture of who a person actually is before you hire them, go into business with them or let them near your family. Records, history and verification of what you have been told.

Surveillance

Discreet observation, logged and documented, when a question can only be answered by watching. Conducted lawfully, from a distance, with a written record of what was seen and when.

Domestic and family matters

Sensitive work handled quietly. Custody and welfare concerns, cohabitation questions, and situations where a family needs facts before making a decision they cannot take back.

Records and asset research

Public record, property, corporate and court research assembled into something you can actually use. Sourced, dated and organised so it stands up when someone asks where it came from.

Witness location and statements

Tracking down people who saw something, approaching them properly, and taking a clean statement. Regularly used by attorneys preparing a case and by families chasing a loose end.

Not sure which of these fits your situation? Describe it and you will get a straight answer, including if the answer is that you do not need an investigator.
