We did note there were companies with lower prices but it seems McHenry Protection are more professional and was willing to come out to see us right away. When Daniel, the Guard arrived to the Hall he was very professional and friendly. He was not your stereo typical rent-a-cop. He seemed to really care about the job he did. I recommend this company to everyone. They might be $1-$2 more an hour, but you really get what you pay for.

Do not go with this PI…read more Paul and his wife made a great pitch and first, were very attentive, taking my calls anytime but then it all fell apart after I paid them. I paid $4,000 for a locate tenants who destroyed my property and Paul promised this and that. Then the report he was working on it took approximately five months to be completed, with long periods of little to no communication. Because of the delay, I was later told I would need to pay additional fees to relocate the tenants again, which I found unreasonable since the delay was not on my end. While the report was eventually delivered, the timeline and lack of responsiveness made the overall experience frustrating and unjustly expensive (4k for a report, 1 interview and going with me to file a police report) I would strongly recommend going with another private detective. Oh well, life lesson learned.

No follow-up call, no explanation, extremely unprofessional. This is time someone could have been looking for another investigator to work with. If you want an unreliable, unprofessional investigator that is non-responsive that keeps putting clients off, this company is for you. Seems they are already tied up with law firms so you are better off looking elsewhere from the start. Very disappointing because they sell you on the fact they are going to help you and get you what you need-very convincing. Not cool Paul.

Repeated the story again and he said he would call back after he talked to the officer and the tow truck company. In the meantime i spoke with the tow truck company who told me my permit is visible. The supervisor called back and first stated he talked to the tow truck company and somehow found the notes and some pictures and my permit was not visible.

Tonight around 7pm at University Plaza (previously Plaza Apartments), there were two black guys…read moresmoking weed, drinking a liquor bottle in the pool area and had an unleashed 40-50lbs mixed breed pitbull viciously barking at every tenants passing by. A family with a toddler was heading towards the pool area and the dog ran over and started barking scaring the toddler causing the toddler to cry out loudly. Security was called shortly after and nothing was done effectively. My boyfriend called STC Private Security Services and literally after one minute and 7 seconds, the operator said they already sent someone to take care of it and clicked on him. Clearly nothing was done. The dog was still unleashed and barking. They stayed there until approximately 9:30pm. This is a nonpet-friendly apartment complex and with an unleashed dog who is not friendly is unacceptable. By California law, it is illegal to smoke weed and have an unleashed dog in the pool area. Whoever came to take care of this matter did not do their job properly and it is irresponsible on the dispatcher's security patrol part for not keeping this complex safe for the residents.

I told you to not return here I told you my son has two court dates in October and that he moved to another town. Did you file a due diligence form to be able to post anything anywhere , no you only attempt to service once and you came back and left a piece of paper in the mailbox. Did you call child support to verify that they should keep coming back to this address? Nope,then you want to put on the proof of service that I yelled at you cuss at you over a phone on a voicemail, and that you were breaking the law by leaving a piece a paper, you did not not personal service of my son you have jeopardize my safety along with my child which child support got reamed you are gonna pay for it just because you don't think a program exist. It does exist because they've all learned. They don't even have a physical address for me because of a program, but I told you not to come back here because of the program I was in, did you go to any one of his courts in October and serve him know you couldn't hold on another month because you needed your $24 from the county or the city of Fresno well let's see how much it's gonna cost you now and let's see how a judge likes it you're lying. Let's see how your license committee likes it you're lying because it seems like you have other reviews on here that you've lied , on serving people which has messed up my sons case which I have already filed paperwork to have your proof of service denied. You did not serve anybody. The front door did not open you left a piece of paper in the mailbox but see you walked up with the paper and left with the paper so that's on video , and actually a person being outside after you left a paper I told you were breaking the law you did so I suggest you learn with the program is, Child support told you to do not come to somebody's house again i suggested you do not purger or lie that you personally serve somebody again I suggest that you better figure out a way to fix something because I'm coming after you because they are also being held liable for my safety and my child safety being compromised and child support has already had grievances filed on them just like I file paperwork to have your proof of service thrown out so make sure that my cameras show exactly what I'm saying, and there was a witness who saw everything and child support was notified right away that she returned against safety protocols, enforced by the state of California and per child supports prior hearings with the judge about my address being in kept confidential they didn't even have my physical address but good thing is I have letters from them that they told you not to come back but you did you never served anybody personally, you lied on court documents you perjured yourself so have fun fighting this in court fighting type fun fighting this in court as I have proof from child support

I would not recommend Maison Law to anyone…read more They accepted my case knowing all of the facts, including that the door involved was manual, not automatic. After keeping my case for over two years, putting me through countless phone calls, paperwork, and delays, I was suddenly told that an attorney had reviewed the case and they would no longer represent me because liability was being denied. If that was their position, they should have made that decision when they first accepted my case--not after wasting two years of my time. Communication was one of the biggest problems. My settlement negotiator, Andrew Pacheco, often took months to respond, and getting an update on my case was extremely difficult. I rarely received proactive communication and constantly had to follow up myself. The office also seemed very disorganized. Nearly every time I called, I was told someone different was handling my case. It felt like there was no consistency, no accountability, and no one who actually knew the status of my file. Speaking directly with an attorney was nearly impossible. The staff was frequently discourteous and unprofessional, and the overall level of customer service was disappointing. I expected clear communication and professionalism from a law firm, but that was not my experience. After more than two years, I was left exactly where I started--without representation and having lost valuable time that could have been spent pursuing my case elsewhere. If you're looking for a law firm that communicates well, stays organized, and values your time, my experience suggests you should look elsewhere.
