Objective
To provide the highest quality investigative support for the legal profession and general public.

Criterion's of Doing Business
During my business experience, I have concluded that an equitable
means to measure the performance of companies I do business with,
is best done by how I myself would like to be measured.
A few are:
Timely and accurate communications
Clear goals and objectives
Efficient administration
Issue resolution
Fair and timely compensation
Over time one or more of these criterion's may become
a concern in your business relationships; however,
these will not be areas you will have to worry about with me.
