Working with Mike:
“After Mike was recommended by a number of respected business contacts, I engaged him to undertake an employment investigation. He was professional, approachable, kind and considerate throughout what could have been a very difficult process. He was communicative and clear at all times and handled a fragile situation considering multiple personalities from all walks of life with dignity. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike to for employment investigations.”
