If you are looking for a great investigator that is always there when you need him. Jay and his team are the ones you should talk to. Thank you Jay for the wonderful experience. You made the process seamless and very sufficient. read more

I cannot recommend Jay highly enough! I hired him for a surveillance job, and not only was he incredibly professional and discreet, but he also charged me a very reasonable rate, much lower than others I had contacted. What really \stood out to me was his honesty and integrity. He didn't try to upsell me or add unnecessary charges, and he delivered exactly what he promised. In a field where trust is everything, I feel very lucky to have found him. If you need a private investigator who is thorough, reliable, and fair-this is the person to call! read more

Very helpful and easy to talk to. Jay looked up a few things and provided some answers to my questions. Very personable and comforting. I highly recommend them! read more

Great service and very professional! Thank you Jay for all your help. If your looking for anyone they are who you call.

Super smart. Super helpful. Heart-forward approach to all my questions and concerns. Has a good internal compass and can sniff out nonsense quickly. Highly recommend. read more

HORRIBLE.....JUST HORRIBLE SERVICE AND ALL! Jay was hired to video taped the entire time he was with me at my home and follow me around every moment per his wife (my incompetent divorce attorney - Lisa Rosenthal). With that said, what did I get after many many request for a copy of the CD, ONLY 2 minutes of the 2 hours he was with me. The video assignment was to begin the moment we all (myself, Mr. Levy, and Jay) went into my home to retrieve my belongings. The only part of the video I received was that of my stupid ex's pot stash next to the BBQ. I am not at all surprised that I didn't get any part of the tape that showed Lisa Rosenthal's partner, Bob Levy, physically assaulting me by placing his hands on me to restrain me as I tried to obtain my personal belongings and telling him loudly to remove his hands off of me immediately. For some reason, that part of the video was missing. Imagine that. read more

Jay is the best. I called J R Investigations to see if he could help me and he wouldn't take my money. He spent a half hour explaining to me what I should do with my issue and that was it. Not only that, he made me feel 100% better. Honest, nice, friendly, trustworthy and great conversation. This guy will help you either way. read more

Hello, I wanted to write a review about my experience using JR investigations. About a year ago 2 of my partners and myself got side swiped by a dirty partner of ours and have been litigating our case since. The partner that stole from us is pretty sneaky and super evasive. When it comes to avoiding the law hes a master at it. Trying to serve him and his wife who was our book keeper/accountant at the time was almost impossible using the regular serving service. we tried so many times and they both kept getting away. We eventually got the idea to hire a PI to serve them so we can start to fight back and get back what's ours. We used JR 3 or 4 times already since and man is he good. These criminals are never able to escape him. No matter how time sensitive it is he gets the job done fast and professionally. I'm super happy we found him and company for he has helped us tremendously. Thank you JR investigations I highly recommend your services. read more

J is super great! We reached out to him for an extremely hard serving to someone that dodged regular serving 5 times and after having a bad experience with Glucroft investigators who didn't replay our calls and couldn't get the job done although we made clear the situation is very urgent and our case might be lost if he won't be served within 2 days. Jay treated us with understanding and didn't even take advantage of our situation to charge us additional payment for the urgency. We spoke with Jay on September 24th around 4pm, on September 25th at 11am the defender was served although he really tried to avoid it. AS PROFESSIONAL AS IT GETS! I will HIGHLY recommend him only to anyone who needs to get the job done. Thank you Jay read more

Jay & team did a fantastic job in locating a missing a family member. He provided prompt updates, was professional & ultimately was able to find this person who virtually was non-existent in all forms of searching. I was very impressed that Jay was able to find this person as I have tried to work with other investigator firms who I was not impressed it. Although Jay is located in California, he can help you with finding out information from any place in the country. I found Jay through his website. I definitely recommend Jay & I am very pleased that he was able to find the missing family member!! read more

I was very satisfied with JR and his immediate results and fast acting job. He was very professional and I would highly recommend him and calling him again. He was truly a blessing. read more

Wow, Jay responded lightning quick, on a SATURDAY, and by the next day, a SUNDAY, he already had tracked down the person I was looking for. I wasn't even expecting a response until Monday! He was super responsive to emails, got clarification on what we were looking for as a resolution to our problem, and was a huge help. Highly recommend. read more

I called JR, and it went to voicemail, so I hung up, and planned to call back. About a minute later he texts me (while in a meeting) and guides me through his website and the and how to do the payment online. That's a man who can multi task ok! Love it! I needed him to find a the address of a business that moved without notice (Hi, I'm gonna sue you! #beveryafraid). He found those punks in 48 hours (during a weekend). I'm smiling all the way to the bank. Get ready you jerks! JR found you, and I'm gonna rip your ass like a pitbull with a steak. Thanks soooo much for your prompt service and professional communications. If I ever need a private eye again, you better believe it will be him. #JRismynewbff read more

We reached out to Jay after the Chris Schauble (anchor man searching for his birth family) story ran locally. Even though it was quite a busy time for him with the added publicity, he responded immediately that he thought he could help us locate my husband's birth father. His BF had a fairly common name in a populous area of the country and there were too many of them for us to narrow down with any surety on our own. He even said he thought he'd have confirmation within 24 hrs (which I thought was a bit aggressive, but, ok). And, less than 24 hrs later, he not only had narrowed it down to one likely person, but had also called him, too. Even though the man initially denied it, we followed up ourselves at Jay's recommendation and just yesterday received a letter that we did, in fact, have the right person. Jay is down to earth, professional, and is in the business of finding people. The more information you have, the quicker the return, but even without a name, he can produce results. As my husband and I are both adoptees of closed adoptions from the 1960s, I've dealt with investigators before and couldn't recommend Jay more highly. And, even though we are in CA, my husband is from NJ and his birth father is from NY and Jay was able to put all the pieces together to point to the right person. read more

We called J today and he was so nice to give us advice in how to find our loved one. He offered to help but told us how to go about finding her ourselves. He spent a good amount talking to us for free, he seems like a very kind man and we will contract his services if we can't find her. read more

Jay is a super kind gentleman who went out of his way to help us with a situation we had with an accident in the parking lot. He and his friend went above and beyond as a witness. Thank you! read more

My good friend's mom is in the late stages of cancer. Her father has been missing since she was born and she has never met him. I contacted JR to locate him, since this may be his last chance to see her alive and reunite with his children. All I had was his name, approximate age and birth location. To my surprise, JR came back within 12 hours (!!) of me submitting this information and had both located him and confirmed that he is indeed the right person. I was hoping for a quick result but this was above and beyond anything I expected. Later that day my friend called her father up and fortunately he was receptive and wants to meet with them soon. I feel like I won some karma points for making this happen. Thank you JR! read more

I needed a certain person checked out who suddenly came into one of my family member's life. Something was not right, so I hired J R Investigations. Within a couple days Jay was able to find some very valuable information that proved that the person was not telling the truth. I am so grateful that I used this service and will again in the future if the need arises. read more

Not only have I had the distinct pleasure to call Jay a friend for the pastI 35 years and know what an honest man he is but I also now can speak for his dedication and commitment as an Investigator. I was adopted at birth and had gained a drop of information last year. Jay had always been anxious to help me with this so I gave him what I had obtained. No only was he professional he was quick! He soon found out that my birth mother had passed but he did find my half sister. He even went the extra step to reach out to her on my behalf so that an introduction could be facilitated. I can honestly say that he has the integrity and knowledge as well as compassion to handle any and all situations that may require discretion or any type of investigative process. Kudos to Jay! read more

My wife had done some work on finding my biological parents. Unfortunately, she could only go so far. After seeing a special report on KTLA, we decided to contact JR Investigations. My wife handed over all the information we had. We contacted him at 12. At 7pm (same day) while shopping at Target, I got a phone call. By 7:30 I was talking to my new sister (in the Flour isle). I can't say enough about JR Investigations. I would refer them (as I have) in a heart beat. Thank you so much for a new chapter. read more

JR Investigations could not have been more responsive, efficient and thorough! We had questions about the an online dating situation in the family and could not ignore our discomfort. Jay did a background check that was sent to me the next day! It appears this person is squeaky clean and we are so delighted to go forward with the knowledge that all is well. read more

JR is amazing! I heard about him thru a special report on KTLA and decided to give him a call without holding much hope that he could help me find my birth parents and relatives. His fees were very reasonable and so I thought what the heck. In less than a month I had the answers of the questions I always wanted to know but was afraid to ask. He has opened new doors for me and my new found family and I couldn't be happier. Would I use him again? In a heartbeat!! I highly recommend JR Mike Lucas West Hills, CA read more

5 stars money well worth spent for this company and especially "DIANE" who was assigned to my case. Diane was very nice and professional and I was given weekly updates which helped tremendously..I highly recommend this company..I was contacted within the same day after inquiring threw their website..i was initially very nervous about pursuing this but I'm so glad I did..My case was solved within a few short weeks. read more

Superb service was provided by J R Investigations. Got the information I was looking for in 24 hours vs. the absolute worst service by Western PI who scammed me for $185 and provided false information. I would recommend J R Investigations to everybody who needs this kind of service. read more

I have used JR Investigation several times (collections), he is a great person and he is always available. JR prices are reasonable and you can reach him by email or phone and he is always available. he is honest and he will tell you right away what it will take him to do the job, how much it will cost you and when to expect a report from the investigation. Also, no hiding fees like other private investigators. read more

Five star review for a reason! JR was so terrific from beginning to end helping us find a missing family member. We originally thought it might take upwards of a couple of weeks, and it ended up only taking a couple of days. Even though JR was out of town he kept full communications with me throughout which I really appreciated. Thank you for your prompt service and expertise. I would highly recommend you to anyone that needed any kind of investigative assistance ! read more

Greetings, I never write reviews, but this marks a special event and time. After an epiphany, I began to search for someone I believed to be my daughter. I spoke to a few investigators, but knew immediately Jay was the one to handle this ever so sensitive, 45 years in the making matter. With only an approximate date and the mothers name Jay had leads on my daughter in less then an hour. in only a few days he located her and talked me through the tender process of bringing a family together. Other agencies with equal experience told me they could do the same for less, but trust me, better yet remember, you get what you pay for, and Jay is worth every penny! read more

In 1991 I was a victim of a crime and after all these years I needed case information that I couldn't get from the police because too many years had passed and I didn't have the complete information necessary. Thinking outside the box, Jay quickly located the now retired police Detective who was involved with my case at the time and personally contacted him on my behalf. With his help I was able to get the information I needed to retrieve the report. Thank you Jay for all your help. read more

What a great service. I called about a personal issue that I needed investigated. Within the first day of hearing all the evidence my case was solved!! I highly recommend for fast results and a great friendly service. read more

J.R. is a true "MENCH"! his dedication and personall services are second to none... in addition, i felt his fees were reasonable and his turnaround time on background checks were fantastiic! my wife and i highly reccommend JR INVESTIGATIONS!!!! read more

JR is a definite pro, I'll be back soon! Even with the difficult cases don't hesitate to call JR.

I owe Jay an enormous debt of gratitude for his invaluable part in ejecting the former agent of my mother's trust. She was a "Friend" who'd worked herself into my aged mother's confidence, into the overpaid position of trustee on her death. He uncovered the fact that she had an unlawful detainer on her record, having been incapable of keeping up with her $500 a month rent. This was a fact she'd not disclosed to my mother. We successfully and legally cut the lot of them off; she and her attorney who was also depleting the estate by representing HER, and NOT the interests of the estate and its two primary beneficiaries, my underage daughter and myself for their incompetence and dishonesty. Even with an uncontested will hell can always break loose when elder financial exploitation is perpetrated. His consult was worth every penny I spent and more in my efforts to correct criminal and unethical abuse. Between Jay and my legal team my mother's trust was salvaged. Rescued from those who mercilessly would have continued to decimate it. read more

I recently contacted J R Investigations to look into the background of a man my mother had recently started dating. Jay contacted me right away. The price he quoted me was reasonable. In our first conversation he did an initial search that revealed a ton of information that even shocked Jay. He was able to dig deeper and give me all the info I needed. He was quick and thorough. He quickly answered every email I sent asking questions or wanting more information. He was easy to talk to and very straightforward. I highly recommend J R Investigations. read more

I received Jay's contact information from a friend when I told I her I needed a background check conducted. I called him and left a voicemail and Jay called back within 5 minutes! I was already impressed. I told him what I needed and Jay sent me an estimate within the hour after we hung up the phone. I paid through his website, which was super simple. Even better, Jay had the results for me the following morning. Excellent service, accurate and thorough results, honest and fair pricing. Highly recommend Jay! read more

This guy is argumentative and unhelpful. I couldn't even make it past the first 2 minutes of the "free" phone call. He talked over me and did not listen to what I was saying. Why bother with unprofessional people when there are so many other choices? read more

They helped me with background checks. A client would not do business with me unless I ran background checks on all of the personnel I would send out on jobs. His reports took less than one business day, and helped me get them to sign the contracts and go with our company! read more

Jay was absolutely masterful in the investigation and process service he provided. The service he had to provide was quite difficult to carry out, but he found a way. We were very grateful that he was able to be successful in the service we needed. I would recommend him for private investigating or process service for any case. read more

Very nice guy to do business with. Good communications. I hired him to find my birth parents and/ siblings. Although the outcome is not what I was hoping for he did do the job and helped me answer and confirm a lot of things. I would highly recommend this firm. Very Professional Thanks JR. read more

I contacted Jay a few months ago about a background check. Jay spent time talking me through the process and the matter in general. I He was in no way watching the clock; but it was clear to me he was focused on resolving my issue. I've passed his number to friends in need and look forward to continuing to make referrals. read more

I have used Jay on numerous occasions in dealing with my family law cases. He is professional, tenacious and practical in his investigative work. His services have included locating criminal records, asset searches, undercover surveillance, and background searches. I continue to use Jay as his experience is unparalleled, and he is more reasonably priced than his competitors. I highly recommend Jay and his team for any investigative services. read more
