About Spade & Archer®

A Boutique Practice for Clients Who Expect Excellence

​Spade & Archer is a licensed private investigation firm providing discreet, fact-driven investigative services for individuals, businesses, and legal professionals. The firm was established to address matters where accuracy, confidentiality, and professional accountability are non-negotiable.

​

My work spans personal and family-related investigations, business and corporate matters, litigation and legal support, and digital or cyber-related inquiries. Every engagement is approached with the same principles: lawful conduct, evidentiary integrity, and absolute discretion.

​

Spade & Archer does not operate as a call center, lead broker, or volume-based investigation service. Each case is personally evaluated to determine suitability, scope, and legal considerations before work begins.

​

The Agency built for clients who value privacy, precision, and authenticity over flash. My work attracts high-net-worth families, executives, founders, and professionals who need an investigator capable of navigating the complexities of wealth, reputation, and modern exposure. They come to me because they know I approach every case with old-world discretion, meticulous attention to detail, and a level of personal investment that large investigative firms simply cannot provide.

​

In a region where influence, assets, and visibility carry real consequences, my role is to bring clarity to uncertainty and calm to complexity—quietly, ethically, and with the confidence of someone who has spent decades solving problems that never make the headlines.

Client Expectations & Exclusivity

My clients come to Spade & Archer because they expect a level of discretion, precision, and exclusivity that traditional investigative firms simply cannot offer. They’re accustomed to expert advisors, private bankers, and attorneys who operate at the highest standard—so they expect the same from their investigator. Every engagement is personal and intentionally limited; I do not take on high-volume casework, nor do I delegate sensitive matters to junior staff. When I accept a client, they receive direct access to me, my experience, and my full attention.

​

Exclusivity isn’t a marketing phrase—it’s a practical necessity. Many of the individuals I assist are public figures, founders, executives, or families whose lives and reputations demand a quiet, controlled investigative approach. They value clear communication, a steady hand, and a professional who understands both the stakes and the subtleties. My role is to meet those expectations without fail, providing a level of service that keeps their privacy intact and their position ethically protected.

At a time when anyone with an online course calls themselves an “investigator,” Spade & Archer stands firmly apart. My work is grounded in decades of field experience—surveillance, intelligence gathering, discreet interviews, pattern analysis, and the nuanced, human side of investigative work that AI will never replicate. This is a craft shaped by time, discipline, and instinct. Clients hire me because they need more than data—they need discernment, the ability to read between the lines, and a professional who sees what others miss.
