I approached Global for tracing of one particular subject person relating to fraudulent documents submitted to a goverment office by him, that effected a claim I had under UK law. Global stated the level of tracing and costing prior to me accepting their services. Global was transparent, no hidden fee's or costs and the timeline given, in my case there was a small time overrun only because of the level of detail, due diligence and further detail with their investigations in uncovering a fraud. I was overwhelmed with the report result with supporting evidence that was well worth the wait, you can't rush quality! There was so much compelling detail, that provided me with the evidence that I need to overturn such a fraudulent document. I would highly recommend Global Investigations Ltd to anybody in a similar situation. Global are most professional in all aspects of dealing with my case. They kept me updated prior to investigation completion with excellent communication. A most sincere thank you to Global's Team!

I was initially hesitant since my case required an investigation all the way in Africa. However, Jack was incredibly patient and walked me through all of my questions with total professionalism. The results gave me the exact clarity and confirmation I had been seeking for years. Thank you to Jack and his team for their excellent support. Global Investigations Ltd is a completely legitimate, professional, and trustworthy service.

Our first time using a tracing agent, Michelle was brilliant and guided us through the process whilst answering our many questions. We thought we were in a hopeless position with our case but we're thrilled with a positive result in the end.
