The CIB history of success is reflected in the philosophy that our company is all about the people. We remain committed to our clients, and as trusted partners, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality service in the industry. We are still conducting confidential investigations, surveillance, interviews, statements, photographic assignments and activity checks for the same clients we’ve maintained for almost 40 years.

We have built these relationships based upon our ability to meet or exceed client expectations and deadlines, delivering a quality work product while remaining acutely aware of the legal and ethical boundaries surrounding an individual’s right to privacy.

More importantly, we have saved our clients money through the value of our services assisting to mitigate, settle and defend questionable claims.
