This business did a great job of finding the information I needed. Price charged was as agreed. I will use them again if the need arises.

I don't write reviews, and I wasn't asked to give one. but I feel strongly obligated to do so. If…read moreyou're in the market for investigative services, stop searching and give Prestige a call. I talked to like 6 different firms, and what immediately drew me to Prestige was Nestor's professionalism and demeanor. He was easy to talk to, kind and very sharp. He wasn't pushy, and clearly explained the way in which he would approach my case. Up to that point, every firm I talked to was requiring me to sign lengthy service contracts filled with a lot of red flags and broad indemnity clauses. Nestor on the other hand was honest and up front, telling me he could take on my case for an extremely reasonable flat fee, and no ridiculous 10 page contract requiring a kidney as collateral. The intake alone was a breath of fresh air. Having just finished my case, I can also say this team delivers above and beyond what's expected. I honestly feel like I owe more than I paid. Nestor spent the weekend working on my case, and went well beyond the parameters to get me more than I expected or asked for. Nestor has earned a customer for life in me, he will definitely be my first all for any future investigative needs.

We could not be more pleased with Nestor's work. He was professional at all times, and even…read morerecommended a few tips that saved us money. Nestor took our issue very seriously and the outcome was priceless. If unable to talk, each call was returned quickly. I look forward to continuing with Nestor's help, expertise and professionalism. Thank you Sir.

Absolutely terrible experience. The service itself is…read moredisorganized and low-effort. The guards are often on their phones, and the entire operation feels lazy and poorly managed. It's clear there's little accountability or professionalism. What's worse is how employees are treated. James Abbott is an incredibly greedy and amoral individual who only cares about lining his pockets at his employees' and customers' expense. He illegally fires people who ask about their wages, and threatens to sue his own employees (a lot of whom are TEENAGERS). He presents his company as a small, local Santa Cruz business, but he's actually from Pennsylvania and lives in a mansion in Hawaii for 3 weeks out of the month. He operates in a way that goes against what Santa Cruz stands for. There's no sense of community, and nothing about it feels like a true local business, just a greedy owner taking advantage of people in the community who are living paycheck to paycheck. Everything about how he runs this place makes it clear that money comes first. Employee treatment aside, he couldn't care less about providing his clients with actual good quality service. The security guards are barely trained, and they don't secure pretty much anything. They are on their phones the whole time and literally hide in their cars when something happens. This place is unprofessional, disorganized, and clearly mismanaged. I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere.

Poorly managed, seems like lack of communication. Talked with one of the guards but from what I…read moreunderstood THEY ARE NOT VALUED AT ALL. It seems like the boss is about making more money and not very concerned about anything regarding the value of the employees work/life balance.

If you've ever represented yourself in a lawsuit, you already know how frustrating and overwhelming…read moreit can be to navigate the legal system on your own. At some point, you will need a registered process server to handle various legal documents. After becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the RPS company I had used for years, I decided to take my business elsewhere. I found Swift Legal through the California Association of Judgment Professionals, where several members highly recommended the company. When I called to ask about their fees, the person I spoke with suggested that I talk to the president, Frank Kaul, who is an expert in writs and levies. Frank called me back, and we spoke at length about my judgments and the difficult litigation I was still dealing with. He listened with genuine empathy and kindness and took the time to understand my situation and what I had been going through. I have been using Swift Legal ever since, and I couldn't be happier. They are knowledgeable, experienced, responsive, and professional, but what truly sets them apart is that they genuinely care. They make me feel like I have a partner in this years-long legal battle and that I don't have to figure everything out on my own. I only wish I had found them sooner. If you ever need a registered process server, I cannot recommend Swift Legal highly enough. You will be in excellent hands.

I have been a lawyer in San Francisco for just over 30 years…read more I have been working with Swift Legal in Redwood City for a few years now. They just did a terrific job for me on a rush assignment dealing with a particularly difficult Sheriff's Office. They moved heaven and earth to get something done in one day. This is the second time they basically dropped everything and got something done for me that was pretty difficult. They have also finessed a few things in the San Mateo Sheriff's Office. (Frank knows the local Sheriffs and is careful to follow the procedures in each office -- this one needs a declaration re electronic writ even after the change in the SER forms etc...) If you have work in Nor Cal, I can't recommend them highly enough. (I should also mention that they just opened an office right across from CT Corporation in Glendale)

As a mostly retired private investigator of over 30 years I can tell a quality investigator when I…read moresee one. Anne helped a client of mine when I was needing help. As Ken said, she is still quite affordable but terrific in what she does. If you are wondering why Anne does not have more reviews it is because what she does is "Private & Sensitive," and her clients generally require a low key approach. Not sure if she can help you. Just contact her. Her contacts and connections to colleagues is vast. Thus, she can generally recommend someone to help you if she can't. Do yourself a favor and always contact Anne first for guidance. You will be glad that you did.

These people were a TOTAL JOKE . They only come up with basic information that ANYONE could look up…read morethemselves online. Total scam artist. ALSO they had no problem providing fale or "inaccurate" findings while hiding behind a blatantly low effort legal disclaimer that openly states "THESE MIGHT NOT BE ACCURATE OR CREDIBLE" and "Timelines MAY NOT MATCH & THESE FINDINGS SHOULD NOT BE HELD TO ANY LEGAL OR MORAL STANDING". No joke,the first thing I seen that they reported on me was that I "Died last year" !!! Then goes on to claim I have tones of "Convictions" and "Dangerous weapon" charges. I have no idea where they came up with those things but like I said before,they sell you a bunch of Google searches basically and then if there is anything fale mixed in with your report they can just chalk it up to the fact that they warned you with there bogus (but LEGAL) lame-dame-(got no brains)-disclaimer

I needed legal services , I was very impressed by my initial visit to his office , he thoroughly…read morelistened to my concerns and assured me that he could help me , he was even willing to take my case on just a 5,000 dollar retainer , knowing my financial situation . He explained to me soon that unless I came up with 25 thousand dollars immediately to pay for a expert witness and a private investigator my case would be impossible to win . I begged , I borrowed , and did everything in my power to get $25,000 dollars to him within 3 day . He said that he would get the best of the best, and not to worry, that was the last I heard from him , he went on vacation for a week, I continued trying to reach him to check his progress , yet never heard back from him. I called , I texted , I emailed him on many occasions, not one time did her respond to any request of my communications.. after a few weeks of panic, and his missing very important deadlines , I threatened to fire him, still no response .. Finally I emailed him to terminate his services , and only then did I hear back from him telling me he will meet with me to discuss why he should remain on my case , I did not feel like he was sincere, so I continued with a substitution of attorney, he never even attempted to get the experts he said he would and the 25,000 dollars he said was to be used to retain these experts was never used . Now 3 weeks later after many attempts to get my money back is still ignoring my phone calls text messages and emails ... I believe this person is simply a thief who has taken my money with no regard to the situation he has put me in , not only financially but has really made my case impossible to get back on track ... I would definitely not recommend this attorney to do anything other than steal your money .. He is very good at promising and sounding like he knows his business but is only a wolf in sheep's clothing . DO NOT TRUST THIS PERSON . I will update this review if anything changes .. good luck and beware of fast talkers

Last Friday I went in to see an attorney at her office on Cedar Street in Santa Cruz, however I was…read moregreeted by her receptionist Geoffrey Rawlings. Bless his heart, he tried to keep up when I explained my situation but could only give me lawyer referrals that he randomly typed in google since the attorney I wanted wasn't there. After speaking with these individuals one week later, they referred me back to the Cedar Street office. With my great luck, Geoffrey Rawlings was there again. He literally ran to the door to greet me. And since the attorney wasn't in her office again, gave me her card. He is simply the best receptionist in the world. I just had to give Mr. Rawlings 5 stars for the work he did today! I highly recommend him for all of your office duties, should you need his help. Good job Geoffrey!!!
