I used Nick as part of my divorce case to do a co-habitation investigation (essentially to prove that my soon to be ex-wife was already living with her boyfriend - which was the reason for our divorce). Being able to demonstrate this would allow me to significantly reduce or eliminate my spousal support obligation. Nick came highly recommended by several attorneys that I had interviewed and he lived up to my high expectations in every way. Nick was creative in how we approached the case, collaborated with me in every way that I desired, kept me abreast of what was going on, and was very detailed. I really enjoyed working with Nick and appreciated how he was always helping me find ways of approaching the case that would keep my costs down. He is not one of those shady private investigators which I appreciated because if someone is willing to break the law for you, then I would question how much you could trust hiring them to represent you. I would absolutely recommend using Bradley Investigative Services.

Nick was great to work with! Pricing was very transparent and he kept us informed along the way as to how many hours different tasks were taking. He also checked in with us often to discuss next steps, as investigations can reach tricky points. He always wanted to make sure we made the call on how to proceed at those points, while offering his advice based on his experience. If you are in need of investigative services, Nick is a fantastic choice. We would absolutely use him again if the need arose.

Nick is a really great investigator. He clearly shows all his years of experience in the way he works. He is very communicative and keeps you informed every step of the process. He's also a genuinely helpful person, which makes it easy to trust him from the very first time you meet him. Thank you, Nick, for all your help.

I could not recommend Bradley Investigative Services highly enough. We had a difficult task of gathering information from across the country (we live in Connecticut), and Nick was our eyes and ears on the ground in San Diego County. Needless to say, we got the vital information we needed thanks to Bradley Investigative Services. They were cordial, completely professional, competitively priced, and exceptional at what they do. I would recommend them as anyone’s go-to agency if an excellent private investigator is ever needed. —Michael Ryba, client

Nick has been an absolute game changer for my business. I own a 20-person salon, and after being burned in the past with false employment records, I knew I needed someone I could fully trust to help me properly vet my team. I’ve been working with Nick for the past five years, and I use him every time I bring on a new employee or make a new investment. He handles background checks and any necessary investigations with professionalism, discretion, and incredible attention to detail. He gives me complete peace of mind knowing everything is accurate and above board. If you’re a business owner and need someone reliable, thorough, and trustworthy, I cannot recommend Nick enough. Five stars all the way.

I reached out to Nick to take a look into an employee of mine, for theft. I had a decent amount of product that was continuing to go missing and he was able to figure out who it was for me, in less than a day. Well worth it. 10/10 will be calling him again if I run into another issue like this.

I needed information on whether my brother had been switching out my clean undies with his dirty undies… they found out it was my landlord sneaking in during the late of night. Worth every penny.

First let me check off some items that I believe will calm your fears. 1) is Bradley Investigation services legit? Absolutely. Nick is well aware of the laws governing this field and those that could get you in trouble especially the Privacy laws. 2) will I be over charged or taken advantage of? No...this outfit is not interested in getting rich on one Investigation they are professional and have a good solid idea on what things will cost based on your needs and wants. So Don't be afraid to discuss your situation with them and what you are truly looking for, in other words don't try to control the cost by not giving them the full story, they want to get the information for you as quickly and thoroughly as possibly. Nick handled my surveillance project and how he explained it to me was as easy as this. I am your eyes and ears for you so tell me what you want to know. Now I am from Northern Cali and I wanted some collateral information that could have gotten me in some trouble and once Nick explained how far he could go legally without breaking laws then I understood he was not a sheisty person... and what he provided was what I really needed... now Nick opened doors for me that I went through that got me the confirmation I needed but it took his performance to get it. Would I hire another investigation service no... I would hire Nick Bradley and if it were outside of his area then I would call and ask Nick for his recommendation. Bradley Investigations are Not expensive and are Not cheap and what i paid was totally fair and worth every dollar, I am thankful that God directed me to Nick Bradley, my problem is over and I am at peace with the total outcome and I can go to sleep without that wondering feeling of what I could do, because well I hired the right outfit.

I hadn't heard from my best friend for several months, i was terrified that he was hurt or dead. I used several people finder services and got practically nothing. Bradley Investigations found him in an hour. My friend and I spoke for over an hour and a half. Thank you Nick

I hired Nick Bradley after attempting to serve some for the past 7 months using a process server and a different PI. The person essentially went off the grid and was extremely elusive. Within 2 days of hiring Nick, he pinpointed where she lived, and was able to serve her the next day. I was so shocked and so happy to finally be able to have this person served, it was getting to a point where I thought it may just never happen. Nick had excellent communication skills, got back to me quickly when communicating through email, and was overall enjoyable to work with. Thank you so much Nick.

Nick is an excellent investigator. His honesty, candor, and thoroughness were quite clear in the investigation I requested. He can be trusted. I feel fortunate to have come across Bradley Investigative Services. His services involved investigating the assets of a tenant of mine.

We engaged Bradley Investigative Services to research an issue related to our business. We received superior service from Bradley Investigative Services. They could not have been more thorough and their response was very timely. They not only addressed the original issue but they went above and beyond. They went out of their way to address a secondary issue when they did not have to. You don't often received this level of service and support. We strongly recommend them.

Thank you!!! I cannot say enough good things about Bradley investigative services. I am a parent who has a horrible child custody case going on with an alcoholic soon to be ex-wife. Bradley investigative services got me the proof that I needed to maintain my custody and keep my three-year-old child out of harms way. I could never have done that without their help. I highly recommend them to anybody that has a custody case going on or needs help in this type of matter. Bradley investigative services is now the preferred private investigation company for my attorney and his firm.

I am an attorney and our firm retained Nick Bradley, of Bradley Investigative Services, on several occasions to conduct surveillance investigations in order to determine whether a defendant in a case, who was claiming injury, was actually injured. Through Nick's surveillance investigation, we were able to obtain clear evidence that the alleged injuries were false. Nick's Surveillance Investigation helped us to resolve both cases in our client's favor. He provides clear, usable evidence and is reasonably priced. Nick always calls you right back and is extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Bradley Investigative Services. I refer Nick to all of my clients. - Cindy
