San Francisco & Bay Area Investigations

Experiencia fantástica: Our firm hired David Abbott to assist with investigative work on a case and he exceeded expectations. He was responsive, meticulous, and delivered clear findings that helped move our work forward.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had the experience of speaking with San Francisco & Bay Area Investigations, a private investigator in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I truly can’t recommend him highly enough. Even though he wasn’t able to take my case directly, he spent a generous amount of time on the phone with me—a full 20 minutes—just to offer some incredibly valuable advice and insights. He was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely compassionate. During a stressful and emotional time, he helped ease my worries and gave me a sense of direction on how to proceed. The tips he shared were incredibly practical and gave me a clearer path forward. I’m so grateful for his kindness and expertise. If you’re in need of a private investigator in the Bay Area, he’s definitely someone you can trust to guide you with both professionalism and empathy.

Experiencia negativa: This guy is a no good. He took our money as deposit, never did anything and will not respond to emails or return phone calls.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m really grateful for this private investigator. I actually contacted several before finding him, and it was really difficult. One of them demanded money the moment we met—he was aggressive, and I felt scared. I hesitated and told him we’d talk the next day, but he immediately started yelling at me. Another one offered to sell me the entire report ,but I felt something was off. That kind of report would be illegal to sell, and if he could sell it, it was probably just public information we could find ourselves—so I didn’t take it. Eventually, I got in touch with David. He patiently explained why he does this work and how he could help me. We had coffee and talked for a long time before signing the contract and making the payment. In the end, he completed the task very quickly, and I’m truly thankful to him.

Experiencia fantástica: Making a decision regarding the best person to hire as your private investigator is not easy to do! It was a pleasure interacting with Mr. David Abbott. He is very knowledgable and friendly. He answers questions and listens too. No ego here. He is a retired Police Officer so for sure has the knowledge he needs to help his clients. You can count on him. I recommend and endorse his business. 5 plus stars for sure. Thank you David. Jeanne

Experiencia fantástica: David was very easy to get a hold of. He is very knowledgeable and professional. His background in law enforcement is helpful in the services that he offers. He's very friendly, kind, patient, and spent time not only suggesting options that best works for me, but educating me on different routes I can take to resolve my matter. I'll definitely be using his services in the near future. What I love most, is that he's honest, determined to assist you, and he didn't make me feel like everything was about money. I appreciate your time in assisting me. I highly recommend his services.

Experiencia fantástica: David was thorough, communicative, and down-to-earth. He helped make the whole process smooth and straightforward during an otherwise stressful situation, which I appreciated.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently faced a unique situation where I had to check the background of an individual that was operating anonymously. I initially contacted two other investigative firms, and although both had good ratings, neither firm was very helpful. However, once I contacted David Abbott at San Francisco & Bay Area Investigations, he was very responsive and immediately gave me the confidence that he could address my unique requirements. Over the course of the Investigation, David proved to be not only an expert at his craft, but also very communicative and cooperative during the process, and always managed to set my mind at ease. He was ultimately successfully at finding the individual that I was looking for and ran a complete background check on this person's real profile, which provided me a great degree of relief. In addition, David's fees were very reasonable considering I was willing to pay a lot more to resolve my issue than David ended up charging me for, which shows a lot of integrity on his part. As a result of my positive experience, I give a strong recommendation to David for services relating to investigating individuals and businesses, as well as checking backgrounds.

Experiencia fantástica: Well, I never really thought I'd ever need a PI, but I guess these things happen. Since the whole idea of hiring a private investigator is to keep these things private, I'm not going to go into detail about the nature of the matter but what I can say is that I HIGHLY recommend SF & Bay Area Investigations. The investigator who handled my case was extremely professional and discreet, while being very thorough. He discussed all possible (and realistic) plans of action that he could and likely would take, keeping me updated throughout the job, and provided me with a detailed report of everything he observed and found at the end. Having him do this gave me the peace of mind I needed!
