We Say Yes. We Get It Done.

At Atlantis Private Investigations, we don’t waste time with flashy titles or exaggerated backgrounds. What matters is getting the job done—on time, on budget, and with results our clients can trust. Whether it’s a corporate investigation, a complex fraud case, an internal audit, or discreet surveillance, we specialize in saying, “Yes, we can do that.”

Client-Focused. Results-Driven.

Our reputation wasn’t built on awards or media appearances (although we've had plenty) —it was built on satisfied clients. From individuals and businesses to attorneys and government agencies, we’ve handled thousands of investigations, each one with the same level of professionalism and precision. We understand that every case is unique, which is why we work directly with our clients to develop the right approach for their specific needs.

A Reputation for Excellence in California & Beyond

Our primary area of operation is California, with a strong presence in the Central Valley, but our work extends across the country. We’re trusted by clients nationwide, including businesses, law firms, insurance companies, and tribal governments. Our ability to adapt to different investigative challenges, industries, and jurisdictions is what sets us apart.

Why Atlantis?

Hiring an investigator isn’t about picking the most impressive résumé—it’s about hiring someone who knows how to get answers. At Atlantis, we combine decades of investigative experience with modern technology and proven techniques. Our clients know they can count on us to deliver the truth, no matter how complicated the case.
