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.

Stephanie worked hard to dig into the case details and was being very thoughtful and responsive all the time, even during the free consultation session! I asked Stephanie to represent me when my previous lawyer lost my trust over time by laying back and being unsupportive and unresponsive. After I switched to Stephanie, the quality of service she provided is such a surprise. Now I wish I would reach out to Stephanie in the first place!

I had been contemplating using an investigator over a year ago to request some surveillance work…read more I wish I had contracted the PI then, but I had not discovered Nighthawk at that time, so I am relieved that I waited. I could not be more happy with their service. Communication from the time I placed my first phone call to the agency was excellent. They were friendly and professional. They provided me updates during the surveillance and made themselves available to answer any questions I had. Their reports were thorough and photos accompanied what they observed , providing confirmation of what was witnessed during the surveillance. I appreciated the extra mile Dwayne went to do some additional research for me, and to send some additional information i needed in a very prompt manner. Thank you Nighthawk and thank you Dwayne. Anyone in need of investigative services should look nowhere else but to NIghthawk Investigative Services. They were exceptional to work with. Georgia

On 10/30/2025, this company signed contract with me, and took my cashier's check at the same day! Please look at your contract before argue back! But after 2 weeks of time with this company, I felt like they like to promise big but get nothing done! No results what soever, zero, ground zero after 2 weeks of payment and agreement signed! Lack of engagement to the job assignment but still promising big at the very last-minute saying "I believe I can". Then there is no result, no strategies, most importantly they simply did not devote any time to do the surveillance duty. They did nothing but pull out two vehicle records (one was right and the other one was wrong) from online. No basic investigator's analytical skills to make the right direction for the case. I even had to correct it one time when the conclusion was obviously wrong. All they wanted is to take the money, promise big, drag on the work but get nothing done, and hope you leave them alone. Unlike other investigators who simply do not take the job and money if they think they cannot deliver the results. This investigator is totally wasting my time and the money here. Also, they wanted me to do some work for them, so I had to drive there myself three times at least in the past 2 weeks to get a basic idea what was going on....

Even when I said lets move on without add-on he refused. He also didn't like that I didn't have a lawyer and didn't know exact format needed for a court. Investigation I needed was time sensitive so it by the time I could even find someone else evidence was gone. It seems he's a nice person, but if you have something urgent and high stakes talk with many simultaneously.
