Art and team at Foglight Investigations were extremely professional. They were upfront on potential risks, explained different options to collect information, had excellent communication, and all around provided exceptional services. For anyone requiring PI services, I’d recommend this team.

Foglight’s asset investigation service helped me uncover hidden financial holdings in my divorce case. Their documentation was solid and helped my attorney take the next step.

We were very fortunate to have Art complete a professional investigation of a family member that passed away suddenly and left us with many unanswered questions. Art was able to put together all of the missing information we needed to have closure. Art was great in listening to all of our concerns, always very responsive, gave us recommendations, and gave us timely updates. A true pro and empathic person.

Art is the best! I used his P.I. services at my last law firm for legal cases and he assisted me on a small claims lawsuit. He is highly professional, extremely cordial (plus has a wicked sense of humor), highly informative of all PI processes, and prompt in returning correspondence. His fees are also reasonable for the dedication & time he provides for clients. I would recommend him for any P.I. work. I’m pleased we’ve remained in touch as well on a friendly basis after he concluded his servies.Thanks so much, Art!

We have used Foglight Investigations many times throughout the last several years, and I can say with confidence:
They are reliable, professional, and very good at “quick thinking” under pressure. The team is ex law enforcement so they are very familiar with escalation protocols, and have educated me on such to always ensure we are giving the right directives, and never opening ourselves up to risk. I wholeheartedly trust Foglight, and strongly recommend them to anyone in need of PI or Security Contractor services.
