Question 1

What makes your approach different from other investigators?

Accepted Answer

I operate as a boutique investigator, not a volume agency. Each case receives day-long focus, meticulous analysis, and strategies tailored to Bay Area legal, technological, and cultural realities. Clients come to me for quality—not speed—and for outcomes that are defensible, discreet, and actionable.

Question 2

Do you locate individuals in the Bay Area or beyond?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Whether you’re trying to find a witness, a former partner, a biological relative, or someone who vanished intentionally, I use investigative research, digital forensics, and fieldwork to identify a person’s true location. I handle both local and nationwide searches.

Question 3

Can you investigate assets or financial behavior?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I conduct lawful asset searches for civil disputes, dissolutions, pre-litigation planning, financial transparency, or verification of a person’s claimed resources. My work uncovers real property, business interests, liens, judgments, and other financial indicators that reveal what someone truly holds.

Question 4

How private is my case with Spade & Archer?

Accepted Answer

Your confidentiality is absolute. San Francisco clients—from founders and executives to families and private individuals—trust me because I maintain strict discretion in every inquiry. No information is ever shared unless legally required or authorized by you.

Question 5

Can you help with internal corporate concerns or workplace issues?

Accepted Answer

es. I investigate matters involving employee misconduct, reputational threats, internal disputes, fraudulent activity, or breaches of trust. I provide executives and HR teams with documented, defensible findings while protecting the privacy of both the business and the individuals involved.

Question 6

Do you assist with private family matters?

Accepted Answer

es. Families in San Francisco, Marin, Napa, and the Peninsula rely on me for sensitive investigations involving safety concerns, undisclosed relationships, elder matters, behavioral changes, or situations requiring clarity without confrontation. These inquiries are handled quietly and with respect for everyone involved.

Question 7

Can you perform detailed background investigations?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A background is more than a database printout. I examine criminal and civil history, regulatory actions, professional claims, reputation indicators, and inconsistencies in a subject’s personal narrative. This deeper approach is essential in the Bay Area’s competitive business and social environments.

Question 8

Do you conduct due diligence investigations for business or personal decisions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I provide discreet due diligence for Bay Area investors, executives, founders, and families—reviewing litigation history, financial patterns, business affiliations, and personal conduct. This helps clients avoid hidden risks before entering partnerships, hiring decisions, mergers, or major transactions.
