Extremely reliable and professional. Mr. Pineda, a retired LAPD, officer knows what he is doing. Even though I gave him a hard time due to stress was extremely helpful and he possibly saved my marriage of 8 years. I can't thank him enough. He went the extra mile and counseled me as well. If you need the truth look no further.

"To whom it may concern"

As the owner of several restaurants in the QSR segment, for more than twenty years, I have experinced multiple instances of employment theft, embezzlement and alleged sexual harassment claims. I have known Ernie Pineda, my private investigator, since 1989 and have engaged him ot help resolve these situations, which he did effectively and professionally. In one instance recovering an estimated $80,000 in losses that would have gone undiscovered.

Mr. Pineda is an excellent investigator with exceptional instincts and I have relied on him over all these years to help with my security issues. I have no hesitation in recomending his services to anyone who has any security issues or needs the services of a private investigator.

Best Wishes.
