What are the specialties of LMI?

Who are your clients?

Our clients are mainly attorneys and businesses including decision makers from corporate HR departments.

How does payment for your services work?

We require a retainer for most cases. The unused portion of the retainer is refundable. We will never go over the initial retainer without approval from the client. We accept Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, or check.

When can I expect my case to be completed?

Turnaround time varies according to the requirements of the case and our current work load. Our clients have continually been impressed with our unusually fast completion time for most of our cases and our frequent and real time updates and check-ins on the status of our cases.

Can you get bank account information or phone records?

We cannot obtain this type of private information. Except for a few exceptions (such as when a person has a judgment/court order) it is not legal for any investigator to obtain this type of information so be wary of those who offer such services.

Can you get someone's emails or other private social media information?

Private emails and social media information set to private are not legally obtainable.  LMI does not seek any information where it is not legal to do so.

Will I get a report?

We provide detailed reports and itemized billings for all work on your case.

Can you provide references?

We are happy to provide many references who can testify to the quality of our work.
