I cannot recommend this company highly enough! Brian went out of his way for me on a potential case — he had me send him all of the information that I had on this case and then he went out and did some research for me at no charge to help me decide whether I should go forward with the case or not! Brian is extremely honest, sincere, knowledgeable, and amazingly helpful! His company is a breath of fresh air in the Private Investigation community. Thank you very much!

Brian was nothing short of exceptional in his approach to my case. He put in a rush order, making sure all the information I needed was delivered on time before a complicated court case that came to a quick resolve thanks to his resources. I would sincerely recommend his services (as well as the other individuals at his agency that swiftly and kindly communicated with me on daily basis) to anyone who find themselves in a position where they are stuck and you know there is more that can be done (but you may not be the one being able to gather the necessary information). Highly recommend!

I have recently used Brian for help in my case and he has been great to work with. He is understanding, professional and as been very efficient in getting me the information that I needed. I would recommend his services to anyone who has a simple to complex case. Brian has the experience and means to get the job done. I am very pleased to have been able to work with him and his staff!

For more than 6 weeks, Brian and his staff at LA Intelligence have been there for me every step of the way, including listening carefully to my situation, explaining court processes, serving papers on someone who was very difficult to track down . . . and continuing until this case is completely resolved. With Brian’s guidance and encouragement, I felt prepared and confident at my court case, which I won very easily. Now with his help, we are going after the post-judgment recovery. I happened to read Jasmine K’s recent review about Brian, and I’m sure that the reviewer must have been writing about someone else, and some other agency. How could any reviewer pass judgment on the integrity of an agency when their services were not even engaged? My experience with Brian has been nothing short of extreme respect and professionalism, showing so much personal interest in my case. I really don’t know what I would have done without his support. If you need assistance for a complicated case, I can say that LA Intelligence won’t let you down. I cannot imagine that any other private investigator would have seen me through this entire process so thoroughly, half of which he didn’t even charge me for. Don’t pass up the opportunity to get the best outcome for your situation, with Brian’s unparalleled services.

LA Intelligence/S. Brian Mathews took on my very hard to serve case. I have been living in fear for myself and my children from my ex husband though we have been divorced over 9 years. My restraining order expired and I was in process of having the court make it permanent. I had turned every stone to try and locate him so that I could be issued a permanent restraining order. I was without hope. Brian worked with me given my extremely difficult financial situation. He would only run intel when necessary and offered me the lowest rates possible. He was very professional and extremely responsive and never hesitated to go the extra mile. Not only did he take me on as a client but I had such a limited window to have my ex husband served. After all was said and done, I was issued my “permanent” Protective Order and am so very grateful to LA Intelligence. Me and my children can finally have P E A C E!! THANK YOU LA INTELLIGENCE! YOU ROCK!!!

I had a delicate, discreet and difficult case where prior investigators left me very disappointed, However, JP is an excellent and effective investigator. Once JP took over the investigation, he provided me with all the information I needed in a very timely, and detailed manner. I highly recommend using JP for investigations.

Thanks to LA Intelligence I can now rest easier, worth every penny and then some. Brian is professional, fast, safe, and cares about us. They care about me and empathize with what people are going through. I will use LA Intelligence in the future, I really can’t say enough great things about this service and the owner. Thank you!

L.A. Intelligence is the bomb. After trying to look for my car, for two months we finally had a break through. I thought this car was gone for ever because my Ex-wife fell off the face of the earth. But it was just a waiting game on finding her. Every time they went to go look at a place they would tell me send me receipts and they were very transparent and punctual for everything. I NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE MY CAR AGAIN, but Brian is the best there is. Got me the best results. To him I have to thank.!! He immediately went over down to Fullerton to pick up my car for me. Being overseas this was the hardest thing to do but he helped so much.

My wife and I own a small child care business and we had only a few employees and one of them claim they got hurt and file the workers compensation claim against us only we didn’t have the insurance because we had so few employees we didn’t think we needed it. If this woman had won her case I would’ve had to pay her attorney fees medical bills and God knows what else and she probably would have Put me into bankruptcy or until I hired LA intelligence. Brian and his team but this woman on the surveillance and even though she suspected she was being followed because Brian found out that this was the seventh time she has done this to somebody and found out that she was working full-time as a Housekeeper and at first she would park in the driveway at the house where she worked until she suspected she was being followed and then her husband will drop her off and hide around the corner but that the fool Brian. He’s got enough video on this woman to send her to prison for fraud she was also filing for disability from the government. I was struggling as I could look for the check I have.

1/9/2018

I had an excellent experience with LA Intelligence. I was required to have someone served and was left a small window due to the holiday season. Brian and his team were extremely instrumental in getting this executed within a limited timeframe. Brian was extremely professional and responsive throughout this process. This was very relieving to me, as this was a concern of mine. I tend to be skeptical of hiring any small business owner for the fear of shoddy work or possibly having to play by unjust rules. This was not the case with LA Intelligence and I would definitely recommend them to a friend, and should I have any needs like this again, I will enlist the help of LA Intelligence.

I am currently involved in a small claims case suing the defendant for less than $2k due to a breach of contract. The amount was insignificant therefore I was reluctant to file a claim, let alone hire a private investigator, yet it was a matter of principle–I was motivated to end his scam spree to prevent future victims so I filed a claim. Taking matters into my own hands, I tried to locate the defendant but learned that all info the defendant had provided were fake and I could be dealing with a regular scam artist. I came close to giving up and that’s when I decided to try a private investigator as the last resort. I found Brian on Yelp, called him, and together came up with a way to serve the defendant without having a physical address. Brian went out of his way to serve and even mailed the proof of service for me. Thank you!!

LA Intelligence is simply the best! My uncle had passes away and made me the trustee of his estate, and I was unable to locate one of his sons to tell him he was part of an inheritance. I had spent countless hours and days trying to locate him using online websites and other services but kept running into dead ends. After making the call to Brian, he immediately made me feel he would be able to locate him and the cost would be reasonable. Not only was Brian able to find him and have me on the phone with him catching up and discussing plans to meet up, he made it all happen in less than 24 hours! Now that’s service. I highly recommend LA Intelligence if you are in need to locate a loved one.

8/7/2017

Brian was a terrific help in assisting me to recruit information regarding a stolen property. He brings a serious, caring and focused attitude toward his work which compliment his skills as an investigator. He took our case in the last minute — which required an all night investigation — and got it all done in a thorough fashion. He is a guy who will go the distance to help his clients. He sincerely cares about his work which helped us feel comfortable that we were working with the right investigator.

7/30/2017

I was in need of some peace of mind with my girlfriend’s behavior when she was out of town on a girls trip (based on some previous questionable behavior early in our relationship) and therefore reached out to Brian for assistance. The entire staff that worked on the assignment was straight forward, professional in their approach and were able to provide detailed updates throughout the weekend. They chronicled the situation and gave their professional advise and assessment of what they found, backing up their assessment with photos and videos as confirmation. For me, it provided a peace of mind in knowing that I am lucky enough to have a loving and devoted partner. My distrust was admittedly misguided and now I am able to give her the benefit of doubt and the trust she deserves in our relationship. Thank you to LA Intelligence for helping me clear my head and allowing our relationship to start fresh in a healthier way moving forward.

7/25/2017

Brian and his team were very professional, easy to work with, and went above and beyond to get the job done. They were amazing! The team was able to confirm an address, get someone served who was avoiding service, captured on film a violation of a restraining order, and gathered online evidence of further violations. All while being sensitive to leave children out of any drama. They worked as a team, were available at all hours, and did whatever it took to get the job done. I highly recommend them for any private investigation needs.

7/21/2017

Josh and Brian are both consummate professionals. They get the job done efficiently and quickly. Plus, they both are extremely responsive to any questions or suggestions you may have. I hired LA Intelligence to serve an individual with some legal documents. The company’s diligence, professionalism, and competence impressed me very much. I plan on using LA Intelligence in the future. And, will recommend the company to my friends. If you need investigation done, I would highly endorse La Intelligence.

7/19/2017

I honestly have never met a person like Brian. Great guy! Very empathetic to your situation. Understanding and has a thorough knowledge of the field. He has great prices which are very fair and he is easy to talk to. I would recommend Brian to anyone who wants to get the job done. Thanks a lot man.

7/17/2017

I just called this guy for help in a desperate situation. WHAT A HELPFUL AND KIND INDIVIDUAL. His professional knowledge really gave me the peace of mind I was looking for. Thank you thank you thank you.

7/12/2017

I was at the end of my rope with a judgment I was trying collect on and decided to give one last shot at trying to get it from the company. I called and spoke with Brian. He immediately started research and I mentioned I needed documents served. Brian put 200% into what he was doing for me and he is very genuine regarding my situation. Papers were served and he was very reasonable. Brian also suggested other options and made me feel confident that after 3 years I will get my money from the judgment.

6/27/2017

Used LA Intelligence to serve court documents to an old landlord. They were very nice, professional & understanding. They even worked out a good deal for pricing for me. Thank you Brian & Josh! PS: Just use them…it will save you a lot of stress, time & headache! -N

6/26/2017

We didn’t know what to do. We live on the East Coast and our son had stopped answering our calls or texts. We spoke with Brian and he was immediately reassuring. He found our son quickly and established contact. Brian took a personal interest in the case above and beyond what we had expected. He was always available to us, even when traveling to DC to receive an award. He is very resourceful with impressive street smarts and experience, yet remains aware of the human side of his job as well.

6/22/2017

Rapid response on request for quote. Very helpful despite not being able to help locate my travelling veteran partner. Focused on the Los Angeles area.

6/19/2017

I am so glad I decided to go with LA Intelligence! At first I didn’t know what to expect because I had no experience dealing with Private Investigators but Brian and his team made me feel at ease with everything. Brian took his time with me and answered all my questions and was very patient throughout the whole process. He is extremely knowledgeable and upfront about what to expect. Before going into this my situation had me feeling hopeless and now I feel so much relief knowing everything has been resolved and taken care of. If you are feeling hesitant like I was, just know that the experience that comes with LA Intelligence is worth trusting in! I highly recommend.

6/13/2017

Brian was extremely helpful and I had what I needed within a few hours, LA Intelligence is a 5

5/29/2017

Brian was great. He was nice to deal with and worked very quickly to get the job done. He served court papers for me; I won the case and thankfully all is behind me now. Dealing with Brian was the easiest part of this process. Thank you!

5/28/2017

Amazing costumer service. Very helpful. I was looking for a pre-employment criminal background check to be sent to a future employer and LA int. Llc helped me and advised me at no charge on what I could do. Thank you for the tips. Best wishes.

5/25/2017

I hired them for a background check for a possible SS fraud case. They were incredibly helpful and quick with the information. Detective Matthews was very professional and willing to help with all my questions. The problem was resolved at a very affordable price.

5/3/2017

LA Intelligence delivered as promised. Kept client up to date and were very professional. Highly recommend.

4/19/2017

First time using a service. LA Intelligence got back to me quickly. Brian handled the task within 24 hrs. I should have made the call a long time ago and saved myself weeks of uncertainty. Price was very affordable. Simple, quick and job done… perfect.

I work for a multi-billion dollar Credit Union on the East Coast and work with private investigators on a daily basis. I have been trying to track down a very seasoned fraud artist who took my Credit Union for over $135,000 worth of vehicles and credit cards, over 3 years ago. Private Investigator Brian Matthews not only tracked him down but was able to locate the vehicle, a feat no private investigator who’s work the account in the past, has been able to do. He was also able to get him served for court and we are now in the process of getting our collateral back, over 3 years later. Brian is committed to excellence in his field and it shows in the way he goes about his business. It’s clearly evident, in the period I have worked with him, he’s dedicated to his job. He treated this account as if it were his own. He is easily accessible at all hours, keeps an open line of communication, and most importantly, he is results oriented. I couldn’t be more satisfied with Brian’s performance. I speak for my entire Credit Union when I say thank you for all you have done for us.

4/6/2017

I can’t thank Brian enough for all his help. He was very honest, sympathetic and professional. He found he information I needed quickly and discreetly. He was extremely responsive and knowledgeable on what needed to be done to solve the case. I highly recommend him in any matter. Simply the best!

3/28/2017

I hired the firm the last minute to serve a document on an emergency basis. Josh was very helpful a d patient considering the party would not accept the document and kept sending him away. Nevertheless he continued saving the document until he got the job done. He went out of his way to complete this task even after three attempts. I definitely recommend working with him.

3/13/2017

You get what you pay for- especially in this type of business. I normally don’t take the time to write these reviews, but they did such a great job that I was really pleased. Overall, I give them 5 stars because the people at this office are smart, pleasant to work with, and they do what they say they are going to.

2/23/2017

I have been recently victimized and Even though it’s late at night I called and they picked up! Brian was patient to listen to my me and I feel confident that the there is a silver lining within all that has negatively effected me. I appreciate the time Brian took out to speak to me regarding my situation. Thank you.

2/13/2017

Brian called me back within 10 minutes, had the pre-employment report out to me in less than 24 hours, and then called to discuss it with me. Excellent service and well worth the cost. Very pleased, would use their services again, and recommend them based on this initial excellent experience.

2/9/2017

So the information I got from LA Intelligence/Brian all checked out… I’m still in shock mode that he could/did track down someone for me from 18yrs ago. All he got from me was a first and last name, last known city/state, and approx. age. After receiving the info from LA Intelligence/Brian I was able to reach out to long lost friend from 18yrs ago. In all honesty, I was skeptical but gave it a try… in under 20 minutes LA Intelligence emailed me the info with a phone number…yes your reading it right… a phone number. Turns out my long lost friend got rid of his facebook 5 years ago and didn’t have any other social media. Thanks again Brian at LA Intelligence for finding my friend from 18yrs ago.

1/31/2017

Brian and team are awesome. Professional, work late, actually respond to questions, and get results. For process serving, don’t go anywhere else. Extremely impressed!

1/28/2017

I have used Brian again, on a surveillance project. He did it the same night and got me some additional info, all at a very reasonable price because I was a return customer. Thanks, Brian.

12/18/2016

Brian went out of his way to make sure I got the evidence that I needed. It turned out to be a difficult job and I’m sure glad I had a pro out there who knows what he’s doing. I could have gone with a different guy and a cheaper price but I’m sure glad I didn’t. His reviews on Yelp are outstanding and he certainly lived up to his reputation. Thanks Brian!

12/5/2016

I want to thank Brian Mathews for his help when I needed the most. Let me start off by filling you in in what situation I was in. I rent a one bedroom duplex landlord lives in the front and I live in back. Well to make long story short I discovered cameras and microphones devices inside the house I rent. I called my local authorities they referred my to a person in charge of those matters, but never received a response. I was feeling deprived of my privacy and nothing was done to stop these people. When I called Brian from LA Intelligence he responded fast and a very professional manner. He gave me a very good price for his services and had a P.I the very next day. Believe me when I say this I feel a lot better knowing the truth. This case is still on going but thanks to LA Intelligence I have the right tools to pursue this matter. Once again a million thanks to Brian Matthews for his help. I can really say I recommend LA Intelligence 100%! Sincerely Alex Machuca

11/22/2016

I had a complicated issue where I was a victim of car title fraud; basically, I bought a car with fraudulent VINS from a private seller and contacted Brian to see if he could help me track down the individual and receive restitution. Brian was able to do a simple search on the phone number and got a hit on exactly the guy I was looking for, which is great, because I did not have this guy’s real name (he gave me an alias). This has got me alot closer to finding some restitution in this case. Thanks Brian.

11/17/2016

LA Intelligence definitely lives up to its 5 star rating. I’m an attorney and needed a background check. I emailed the company this morning and Brian promptly got back to me. We then spoke by phone so I could give him further details. He was patient and easy to talk to about the situation. Once I sent him the additional information he needed to run the background check, he sent me the full report within the hour. Brian also had been conducting another search prior to mine and included an additional service for me at no extra charge. He is a stand up guy and I will definitely be using LA Intelligence again for any future background checks.

11/16/2016

Brian did an amazing job. He investigating the background of two individuals I was considering working with on a financial transaction. He was able to find that they were bad actors potentially saving me lots of headaches and financial loss. I would recommend his services.

11/16/2016

As I’ve written in my previous reviews, I have used LA Intelligence multiple times to help me gather information on an individual that I needed to have served. Since Brian only handles difficult serves, I initially used a regular process server to track down the individual with the information that Brian provided. It turned out, however, that the individual was evading service and the regular process server was unsuccessful in their multiple attempts to serve this individual, which spanned over many months. This resulted in me having to extend multiple times the court date in order to comply with the rules of service. Knowing at that point that a regular process server would not suffice, I once again turned to Brian. Within 48 hours of taking on this assignment, Brian cleverly figured out a way to get him served. The pics below show the result. If you need results, turn to Brian! He kept in constant communication throughout his surveillance and even tapped into additional resources at no extra expense since he was annoyed he didn’t get him that first night.

My dog got loose & was stolen. A witness saw my sign after 3 days of searching & called me to let me know the info he had. I confronted the dognappers who owned a taco truck in north hollywood where they were seen taking her. they refused to admit they had my dog, they intended to keep her! I had no idea where these taco truck people lived, who they were or where they were keeping her or what they had done with her! I hired Detective Matthews & had my dog back in 2 days. He had access to information, surveillance methods & was able to personally retrieve my dog from the thieves himself. He was always available- even at 2am he was on the case doing surveillance! always updating me & working on a personal level of commitment to the case – being a dog lover himself! He gave me discounted rate and told me “i will get your dog back for you, dont worry”. I felt confident working with him. I recommended him to a friend with another case of stolen dog similiar to mine.

Great service. I am an attorney and Brian handled everything regarding my complicated service and retrieval. He is worth 10 times what he charges. Extremely professional and would recommend to anyone.

11/8/2016

I called LA Intelligence expecting to leave a voicemail but I got a live person instead! In speaking with Brian he spent about 15 minutes on the phone with me explaining a variety of options and he was very professional!

11/6/2016

Brian and Richard went above and beyond by providing excellent advice and service. Richard reached out to me alto explain further details about the service requested and provided device accordingly. I am satisfied with the level of communication via email and phone calls. I will definitely hire this company in the future if needed. Thank you

10/25/2016

I must say Brian is the most professional and passionate investigator I have ever had the pleasure of working with. My encounter with him was a bit unique. I’m a TV producer (so L.A. I know) and was looking for a P.I. to help locate a long lost sister of one of my cast members. We featured him on our show to help assist in this, as it was a BIG story line. Brian was early to set, was attentive with our cast, and asked all the right questions. For us this was for TV ( at first), but for Brian it was VERY important to him that he located the sister and not just for the sake of our show. He became very invested in this and touched base with us constantly with any updates. Brian is not only honest with the expectations but was easy to get ahold. He treated this just as important as any of his other clients. As you would assume production scheduling gets tricky and Brian was able to accommodate. This guy definitely should be your go to guy for any P.I. work you need done.

10/25/2016

I was curious about my significant other’s background due to the lies and the secrecy. Richard was very helpful and thorough in his findings for me. He was able to give me the results that I was looking for. LA Intelligence is the most honest, helpful and reliable service around.

10/20/2016

I’ve been trying to find a family of Jewish decent and called Brian to see if he could help me in my situation. I have no name, birth date, so I’m pretty much out of luck. I knew this going into this phone call and found out that Brian knew the same after talking to him for about five minutes. He even warned me about other making promises that would intern to them taking my money and saying we tried and sorry we couldn’t help. This kind of honesty is what your look for in people and better yet people you have to go into business with. Thanks Brian.

10/5/2016

Brian at LA Intelligence is on my short list of 5-star service providers. He was responsive and knowledgeable, and gave me realistic expectations of what he would be able to do for my case and what he wouldn’t. He took almost an hour to review the data he’d collected and even looked up additional information while on the phone to try and help me as much as possible. Best of all, Brian is completely personable, and totally put me at ease about the process.

9/29/2016

Fast and effective results for my client. Will use again the in the future. Brian was very responsive to my emails and got the job done under a very short time window. The report he provided was clear and concise.

9/28/2016

My husband and I have used two other Investigation services and Brian at LA INTELLIGENCE is by far the most honest and accurate we’ve used. He is a pleasure to talk to and gives great advice as to any options we had, thus decided on our best one. Brian knows his stuff, he’s a well seasoned professional and we were very pleased with our results. Since I cannot go into detail about our specific needs, I mean who would, being so very personal… I can say Brian is prompt in his response time and quotes a fair price for his services, I’ll even go beyond that and say it’s more than fair in many cases.

9/26/2016

I suspected that my wife was cheating so I called LA intelligence because of their reviews. I was told there was no way of knowing what the total cost would be but it turned out they caught her in one day and got 18 minutes of video of her with a male companion. I received real time reports and I felt that a review was definitely in order. If you are in a similar situation, you can’t go wrong with these guys. Thank you Brian. You guys are the Consummate professionals!

9/17/2016

I was suspicious of my husband having an affair. Based on the Yelp reviews I contacted Brian at LA Intelligence. I initially asked for a license plate check which led to another request for background information. After a few weeks, I contacted Brian again and asked for surveillance and to obtain photos. In all my communication with him he was respectful and professional. The response to my requests was quick and detailed. Although I was uncomfortable requesting the help of a private investigator, his kindness made the process easier. I would never wish this situation on anyone, but if you find yourself in need of information I would highly recommend the services of LA Intelligence.

8/17/2016

I never write a review for services I’ve used, however, in this instance I felt I needed to say something, especially for the benefit of those looking to employ a Private Investigation firm. I have never used or hired a Private Investigation service before, primarily since I’ve always had in the back of my mind the idea that it was a sketchy business. However, I needed work done that was out of the ordinary, and the only type of entity that made sense was a Private Investigator. Although I was a bit apprehensive, I decided to start looking up PI services – of course my 1st place to look was Yelp. I scoured all the PI Services/Companies listed in Los Angeles (on Yelp) and read every review attached to all the top-rated agencies – finally landing on a couple of possibilities. After making some calls to these potential PI companies, I ultimately decided to go with LA Intelligence… and I’m very happy I did! I spoke to Brian who immediately understood my dilemma, and after our conversation I knew his outfit was the one I wanted to hire. Without going into too much detail, I needed to find and serve court papers to a corrupt individual who supposedly skipped town to avoid getting caught. This person was hiding from several people and even his wife (from whom he disappeared without notice) filed a police report to try to locate him…to no avail. Once I gave Brian some background info on this person, his response was that he was confident he would be able to not only find this person but to also successfully serve the court papers. I stated this was a time sensitive situation, but again Brian was confident in his ability to succeed – so much so, that when I decided to engage his services, he told me he would have everything done and over with by the next couple of days. You know what… he came through! So, for any of you trying to find someone (like a PI) to help you out with difficult situations and are a little “sketchy” about this type of business as I was, I can wholeheartedly recommend the services of LA Intelligence – they changed my mind as to the way I look at Private Investigation services, and I will definitely use them again if and when the need arises… THEY REALLY DID HELP ME OUT Thanks Brian and LA Intelligence…!

8/4/2016

I have used L.A intelligence twice already. Tried some other ones but L.A Intelligence was Fantastic. They were on top of things the day i hired them. The owner cares about his clients.Not like most who charge alot and get results slower so you pay alot of money. I will always use this agency. No others. Thank you L.A. intelligence for caring.

8/2/2016

My attorney was having no results getting my ex served through their process server, causing a new hearing date to be set. I knew I would waste even more money and time if we kept trying to get my ex served through a traditional service and eventually would need to go to court to prove that my ex was evading service. I decided to use LA Intelligence based on all the positive reviews. It was my first time using a service like this, and I’m so glad I did. Within 24 hours or providing information to LAI, they were on the case and within two days service was complete. It turned out that my ex continued to evade service when personally identified by LAI, causing the server to engage in pursuit until a red light provided another opportunity. So glad LAI took care of this so quickly and to not have to deal any longer with the hassle of my ex evading service.

I contacted LA Intelligence after reading the YELP reviews. Excellent service and we got the results we needed within a few days. Brian was reliable and explained everything to us in detail which was needed as we weren’t familiar with the system in the US. Thank you Brian and the team for all your hard work !!

I hired Brian at LA Intelligence to verify a situation that I had suspected. Brian was thoroughly professional from our initial conversation. Within 24 hours, he was on the case and was meticulous in his investigation. I received real-time updates and video surveillance throughout the investigation. He provided me with all the information I needed in order to make a thoughtful decision as how to proceed. I would absolutely use him again and would highly recommend him without hesitation.

Brian is the best. I have never done this before and was quite nervous Brian is totally professional and very kind and honest. He put me totally at ease and actually advised me to stop his services. He kept me updated the entire time and always knew what was going on. would totally recommend.

5/2/2016

With virtually no notice, Brian was able to provide a three day project and do so with professionalism and courtesy. He kept me informed of the progress throughout and provided excellent service.

4/9/2016

I needed a background check quickly and Brian got it done in less than a half hour.  He also helped me interpret the information and pointed out a few things I would have missed.  Service was great and he really knows his stuff.

I am currently going through a divorce and next month there will be a hearing to determine my alimony. My wife was claiming that she was unemployed and had no income which I now know is a lie. Brian was able to document her work schedule through surveillance and video which clearly shows that she has a full-time job. When I first called these guys, I had no idea what had to be done and by following their suggestions, I now have the evidence that I need to bring to court and win my case. I highly recommend LA Intelligence for their professionalism and expertise to anyone in a similar situation. I could not be more grateful for what they have done even though it was expensive but well worth it in the end.

We were looking for a Private Investigator to assist us. Bryan was an excellent choice. He responded to our needs quickly, and provided accurate, affordable, information/support. We were grateful for his assistance, so that we could make an informed decision.

I contacted Brian because I suspected my girlfriend of three years was seeing someone else. Brian was able to verify this to be true and documented the encounters with video evidence. I could not be more pleased with the results because it saved me from making a terrible mistake. I’m from the east coast and I did not know who to call until I found him through yelp. I highly recommend LA Intelligence for their work and professionalism.

Brian is one of the nicest professional sentimental people I have came across . He replied to my services quickly and intently. He was understanding and helped me figure out exactly what I should do. He didn’t pressure me to choose his company and he worked with the money I could afford. He provides information needed and always got back diligently . He was reasonably priced as well. I didn’t end up going through with it for personal reason but Brian was very understanding and gladly gave me the majority or my money back due to the fact time of is I wasted so I completely understand needing to keep some of it. I am so greatful and thankful to have met him and I appreciate his services.i would highly recommend his services !

3/10/2016

As a licensed investigator (High Wire Investigations) based out of Orange County, I have had to reach out on occasion for help when my case loads are overwhelming. Brian and his staff at LA Intelligence are one of very few private investigative agencies I would trust to uphold the integrity of my business. Brian is always able to conduct complete investigations that are not only well documented, but maintains the integrity and confidentiality of my clients. Brian communicates and maintains an open line of communication for the duration of his investigation. I highly recommend LA Intelligence to those looking for a quality investigation at a reasonable price.

12/31/2015

Fast professional service. Would absolutely use this company again. Also nice to know you reach a person instead of a machine that you wait hours or days for a callback. Liked how quick they were able to do a background check. Highly recommend.

9/3/2015

I had to investigate a person who was trying to get workers comp from my father when he was not hurt. He was working another job and trying to get money. I hired LA Intelligence to follow the guy and prove that he was not injured and he was working another job. They did a great job and were very nice. I would recommend their services to anyone in need of an investigator.

7/21/2015

Brian is an amazing person i had some issues going on and i explained to him and he helped me out right away! It took him a few hours to get me the information i needed, he was very kind over the phone and has very good communication. i would highly recommend LA Intelligence.

6/26/2015

First off I want to start by saying Brian is the best! I had no idea how a PI worked or how much they cost. I called some other companies but Brian was confident, calm, and his pricing was very fair. He knows what he is doing and I couldn’t be any happier. He has a great team and they are all knowledgable. I would recommend his services to anyone that is looking to use a PI. He helped me with my case and I am forever thankful. Look no further!!! Brian to the rescue!!!!!!!!!

5/28/2015

LA Intelligence is perfect, they are discreet, very responsive and professional. I worked with Brian on a personal case, and he handled it perfectly. It was nice to feel that I wasn’t being taken advantage of, and that my case was handled just like I wanted it. Brian asked me what I needed, and I explained to him all that I knew, but he took over from there, with his knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend them. And as a matter of fact, I am using them on another job soon.

5/17/2015

I was very impressed with the way Brian and his team handled my situation. They were on point right from the very start. If you are in need of a private investigation firm, these guys are the real McCoy.

2/8/2015

This from has been extremely beneficial in aiding me with my current situation and could not recommend their services more highly. They were very generous and understanding as well as professional and completely on the ball.

2/7/2015

I contacted Brian from the UK to find my son in Law who had disappeared in LA on behalf of my daughter. I found Brian & his team efficient & very professional through out the whole procedure. Brian & his team undertook our investigation with a matter of urgency with excellent results backed up with photographic & video evidence. This has helped my daughter in her divorce & to realise what was going on in LA. I would highly recommend & use Brian again without any hesitation . So anyone looking from abroad then Brian is your man. I send Brian & his team my best wishes. Thank you Dr K Khan

This was the first time I used a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. The La Intelligence team was extremely helpful & professional and addressed my concerns very quickly. The PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR kept me informed at all times. I would highly recommend LA INTELLIGENCE to anyone who needs answers in a sensitive situation. The price was extremely reasonable, they made me feel completely comfortable and I trusted them right away. This PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR gave me the attention with confidentiality, compassionate and professionalism. It’s not always easy asking for help but these guys are the best. I highly recommend them.

6/27/2014

I, like some others have written, would have never imagined that I would need to hire a private investigator. Unfortunately, I did. It was a difficult situation for me, but Brian at LA Intelligence was more than helpful with the process. In addition to being very professional, he was also very kind and understanding, something I did not expect as I assumed it would be ‘just another case’ to him. He is obviously very experienced and quite knowledgeable, and can even provide sound advice/counseling. I had a very good experience with Brian, despite the difficult situation, and would both use him again and highly recommend him to anyone in the Los Angeles area.

6/25/2014

If you are looking for a private investigator that provides results, then LA Intelligence is the way to go. This was my first time hiring a private investigator and I really didn’t know what to expect. Detective Mathews was very thorough and explaining the process and letting me know exactly what to expect.he provided me with the information that I needed quicker than I expected and I couldn’t be more satisfied. If you are looking for a professional, experienced, and reasonable private investigator, look no further. these guys are the real McCoy!

4/5/2014

I had to use Brian again to find another person gone MIA. Brian had the info within 24 hours. He seems very busy but still gave a quick turnaround time . Thanks!

3/28/2014

Amazing service! Fast, professional, affordable and experienced! Brian saved my sister from marrying a scam artist she met online. I found out my sister was about to be proposed to and called Brian immediately. Within the same day, I got enough proof from Brian to convince my sister that she was about to be married to a con artist!!! Thanks to Brian, I was able to convince my sister with proof and saved her from ruining her life. Whew! I am forever grateful to you Brian/LA Intelligence! I have found my P.I. and I am not going anywhere else!

3/21/2014

I needed some info on someone and Brian was very helpful! He responded in a timely manner to all of my inquiries and provided detailed information that I was looking for. I would recommend him to anyone in regards to background checks and surveillance. Should other instances arise when I need some info or to run a background, I’ll definitely use Brian for the job! Thanks so much for all of your help!

6/20/2013

I recommend LA intelligence. Brian is fast and professional. He cares about your case and about you. Brian spent over an hour with me on the phone listening and assessing my situation. He took action immediately and I knew I was in good hands. I thought my case was impossible and he made it possible. He is generous with his time , honest and personable. Every act of kindness makes a difference. He made the difference. Thank you Brian.

6/5/2013

I contacted LA Intelligence over a privacy concern. Actually, I contacted a few organizations, but Brian Matthews was the first to respond that he would contact me soon, and kept his word in following up with me the same day. True to the website offer that any first consultation is at no charge, Brian spent over an hour with me on the phone listening and assessing my situation. I felt that he understood what was going on and I didn’t feel like he was automatically trying to sell his services. In fact, the advice and conclusion was that there wasn’t now the need to do anything further, but it is because of his generosity of time and follow through that I decided to support him here. I would use him or recommend the organization if needed in the future.

I have read every review about this business and a review like the one janice wrote is just not true.I have used L.A. INTELLIGENCE at least 3 times and every time i hired MR MATHEWS he has been fair, honest and kept in touch with me every day one time he could not find a person gave me my money back and still found out this man is dead.He did not even ask for my money back. MR MATHEWS is a great P.I. and i will always use him as i am dying and need to contact certain people thru out my life. Gary M

6/16/2012

Speaking straight from my heart you will “love” this guy! Everything a PI should be. Smart and determined to get the Evidence. Fair and understanding of your financial situation. If you are looking for someone that can get the results you Need -this is your investigator! JR

5/8/2012

I would recommend LA Intelligence because I had a very good experience with their help. I met with the detective via professional reference, because I needed help with a lost persons case. Within a day he called me back with the results of his search. So what was taking me over a week with no results was completed by the following day. In addition, the detective was always willing to go the extra mile with alternative recommendations, so I felt that my decisions were well informed. When needed to work late hours or personally serve court notifications, he was always available to deliver. I’m very happy with my results – Thanks LA Intelligence.

My name is Jaime and I met dealt and with Brian / LA Intelligence in finding a long lost friend of mine. Brian was a consummate professional, keeping me informed of every single detail all throughout his investigation. Brian not only found my friend and that in an amazingly fast amount of time…but he also provided me w/ many resources and options in which to assist my friend post discovery. I recommend Brian and LA Investigation for anyone w/ a need for a real “Private Eye”. Sincerely, Jaime

I had been looking for my birth father for many years, who I knew lived somewhere on the west side. I had never dealt with a private investigator before, and didn’t know what to expect. I called LA Intelligence and spoke to one of their investigators, who was really kind and listened to my whole story. He was able to find a home address and lots of other info on this guy in less than a day–he even found some other info that was of great value to me! He had a great sense of humor and is really professional. From what I can tell, they are super reasonable with their rates, especially considering they have been licensed for over 20 years. They were so good and fast that I referred my friend, who suspected her fiance was cheating on her with an ex-girlfriend, and they had that figured out in a jiffy, too!
