Reviews of LA Intelligence, Inc. A full service detective agency. (Private Detective)

This is the private investigation team to use! I had been trying to recover my vehicle from a very fraudulent leasing company for five months. Brian and his team were able to recover my vehicle in less than 48 hours! LAI consistently communicated with me through phone calls, texts, and emails. I will never be able to thank Brian enough for ending months of exhausting emotional stress and anxiety for me.

I hired Brian at LA Intelligence after an employee filed a fraudulent workers comp claim. As our 4th generation family-run small business had never dealt with anything like this before I hired Brian because I wanted to protect our business and our personal assets. I was also angry that someone we tried to help took advantage of the system. Unbeknownst to me this is the 7th workers comp claim the employee has filed in the past 5 years. The workers comp insurance didn’t explain anything about how the process would work or even the fact that they had a lawyer “on our side.” They just wanted to pay him off and increase our premiums without informing me of anything!!! What a joke! Brian is very efficient in his work and has kept me updated on a regular basis. His work slowly put our minds at ease. Brian has gone above and beyond helping us and has been very generous with his time and fees. He is passionate about his work and I highly recommend his company.

An unlicensed contractor was working at our place, and everything was great for about 9 months. After entrusting him with a large amount of money for a specific purpose, suddenly his behavior changed radically from a trustworthy, easygoing guy, and became extremely aggressive. Finally it was revealed that he had pocketed the money. Brian and his staff at LA Intelligence listened carefully to our situation. They served papers on the guy, who was very difficult to track down. For several months, they guided me through the morass with authority and a sense of humor. With Brian's encouragement, I felt prepared and confident at my court case, and I won a generous judgment including extra expenses. With all his personal attention, Brian made us feel that we were his only clients. Brian has been extremely respectful and professional, and has often gone without charging anything for his time. If you need assistance for a complicated case, LA Intelligence has your back, and won't let you down. I cannot imagine that any other private investigator would have seen us through this entire process so thoroughly. Don't pass up the opportunity to get the best outcome for your situation, with Brian's unparalleled services.

Recently someone stole some items from me and some of my friends. We all realized after a while that the culprit was someone we knew. Despite multiple police reports all naming the same suspect and the added seriousness that the stolen items included guns, the LAPD was not interested. They took the reports, called the suspect, told him they thought he didn't it, and then dropped the case. As more items went missing, we knew we had to do something and decided to hire a private investigator. I'd never hired a PI before, so I was very skeptical at first, and I've heard some horror stories, but I found LA Intelligence here on Yelp and after reading their stellar reviews, was pretty impressed. The suspect I later learned was a drug addict and possibly homeless so I did not set my expectations too high. After consulting with Brian, who made no promises, we decided to proceed with the investigation and it was not long before Brian had informed me that not only did they find the suspect, they actually befriended him and proceeded undercover. They got him to admit every detail of the crimes, including details I hadn't told the LAPD or Brian so at that point I was very certain this was the real deal. I was also given a very detailed report of every interaction with the suspect, with photographic proof. Brian then contacted LAPD to arrange to bring in an Undercover Police Detective which eventually led to his arrest. I am hoping that some of my stuff will be recovered and restitution will be ordered by the court, and I'll update this when any of that happens, but that will be a long road. It turns out that the suspect was planning more burglaries so in the interest of public safety, this ended very well for everyone. I was extremely impressed with Brian, LA Intelligence, and his entire team. This went far better than I could have ever hoped and I can guarantee Brian will be the first person I call for any incident in the future. If you have been the victim of a crime, the odds are very low the cops will do anything about it unless you do all their work for them and hand the evidence to them on a silver platter. Brian is the silver platter. My only regret here is that I waited so long to call him.

Just want to say thank you to LA Intelligence! It was a lot of things going on in my life, and I had a problem with trust issues, I hired LA Intelligence to get to the bottom of it to find out once and for all what I was thinking of what I was feeling valid, well I got more than my peace of mind, I got a successful investigation that help me with why don’t not only my problem, but also knowing the truth, you cannot put a price on knowing the truth. So thank you again LA Intelligence, I just want to say there are a lot of companies out there, that promise you this and promise you that. What I was promised was delivered and then some.

I had an extremely positive experience and HIGHLY RECOMMEND LA Intelligence! They literally saved my parents several hundred thousand dollars, as they were the unknowing victims of a scam perpetrated by a con artist who was very convincing. I had a very bad feeling but couldn’t convince my parents to do their due diligence before investing. When the scumbag asked for more money for ‘phase 2’ of the scam, I was at my wit’s end and sought out help. Had I known that this experience would be so straightforward and simple I would have hired them much sooner. I chose them because they have been around since 1990, which is something I look for in a company. Additionally impressive was the fact that the vast majority of their reviews on both Yelp and Google are outstanding. Now that I have worked with them, I completely agree with those positive reviews. This was my first experience using a private investigator and if I have further need in the future I will not hesitate to call them. The investigators have very impressive backgrounds, and I felt like I was in very good hands from the beginning, and all the way through until the case was wrapped up. They were efficient, effective and I felt that the price was reasonable (which was something I had been concerned about before I reached out to them.) In addition, they were very clear about what it would cost and what the variables might be. They were honest and up front and did not overcharge. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

5.0 star rating Started on 1/22/2019 There is a very good reason you see a five star rating with LA Intelligence... Let me explain... I had a very very bad situation with a car that I had leased... I had a 2017 Rang Rover and I just did not care for the car... Luckily I had a two year lease but with Range Rover, you cannot actually get out of a lease by having someone take it over for you... I had put the car on swapalease as an outright sale and was contacted by a scam artist and I urge anyone that is approached by someone third party about sub leasing your car to AVOID IT, especially in California... He had promised to help get me out of this lease or make the payments until the lease ran out... Every month was hassle, late payment, etc... The least was due to run out at the end of this month and he had not made two consecutive payments and had given no indication he would turn the car over... So i contacted Brian at LA Intelligence to help me... He had many strong methods he presented me of which he could help get the car back for me... It seemed impossible after chasing after car for so long and basically feeling it was not going to be returned.... within THREE days ONLY, the car was recovered... THREE DAYS... that was just remarkable to say the least... They were ALL over him and he had no choice but to hand the car back over... LA Intelligence has earned my business as well as all my recommendations whenever someone needs any kind of private investigative work done... They are definitely elite to say the least... Here is a picture of the car recovered as well.. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended...

I am so relieved I called LA intelligence! I was really hesitant about what to do ever since I started suspecting my husband was cheating and even though I was really distraught over the whole situation I felt I was in really good hands working with LA Intelligence. Their team was able to provide me with the proof and, more importantly, the piece of mind that I needed. I am so glad everything has successfully come to an end and I highly recommend using LA Intelligence!

This company and my the main PI, Brian, has been so helpful. Long story short a horrific Doctor at Lasky Clinic used me for testing and training USC students. I went in for a cosmetic nose surgery and they cut off my upper jaw, did a bunch of tests and my face was shortened by well over an inch. Brian came with me to the VA to look for records and also got some photos of the main site where they do FDA testing on helpless patients. Here are some photos of the research documents he got for me and the photos on site at Lasky. Not only did he find this evidence, he found out they were doing these horrific experiments on children without gaining consent of the parents!! In America folks. Brian got me the evidence that will ensure my case against this behemoth who is using helpless elective patients to hurt and steal bones under a federal policy that allows them to train students. They claim they do not take human bones, blood or anything from the poor victims, but there were so many specimen boxes for Cedars and many other labs. Showing statewide prevalent corruption to harm private paying patients at Lasky Clinic. The doctor who did this and enrolled me to let students hurt me is Dr. Andrew Frankel. He is located at 201 S. Lasky Dr. in Beverly Hills, no where near USC's teaching hospital. I have PTSD and Brian was so kind to me and advocated for me in a million different ways. I give him my FULLEST recommendation.

I highly recommend LA Intelligence/Brian. I needed some information quickly and Brian handled my situation expeditiously and professionally. He is very informed regarding intelligence/detective services and I feel confident recommending him to anyone, without hesitation. Reasonable, knowledgeable and helpful -- without a doubt. Kathleen
