Recently, I had to use their services for personal reasons, and they delivered the same high standard of service I've come to expect. They were extremely responsive, communicative, and handled my request with a strong sense of urgency. Serving legal documents can be time-sensitive and stressful, but they made the process smooth and straightforward from start to finish. It's reassuring to know that whether you're working alongside them professionally or relying on them personally, they consistently show professionalism, attention to detail, and dependability. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I just wanted to say thank you to Debra Allen for helping to reconnect me with my birth mother!…read moreIt's been 53 years of having no idea who she was and now happily I do! I had been searching with DNA matches to cousins on various ancestry sites and not getting any answers when I finally contacted Debra. It was time to know for sure. I was also under the false impression that my mother was no longer living so when Debra saw my file, found a name and told me she was she alive, I sort of panicked. I hadn't expected to be reaching out to a live person! What if she didn't want to connect, how would I handle that? I decided either way, I wanted to know. Debra coached me through what to do but left the final decisions up to me. I wrote a letter of introduction for myself, knowing that may be as close as I ever get. Debra kept me informed of all the steps as we took them because I've never done anything like this before. Debra reached out and I heard back immediately and then met my mom within days of that contact. It's been such a wonderful feeling to know I look like someone, something an adoptee fully understands. I now have a connection to history. I have known ancestry. It's odd to say but knowing about them has made such a difference in knowing about me. My father's identity is still a mystery but that's okay at this time. I have a mother who wants a relationship with me and we share so much in common it's like finding a new best friend. We just shared my birthday together 53 years later. I learned that she never got to see me at birth. Such a truly incredible gift! And to think I almost let fear get in the way. If you are on the fence about this, just do it! You've had a lifetime of not knowing, not connecting. Isn't it time to know? Connect yourself to history. It's like discovering a part of yourself that you never knew was missing. Like finding another half of a story you already thought you'd read. It's a very profound feeling. I highly recommend it!

All I can say is that he treats his potential clients with care like a concerned family friend and explains the pricing in a reasonable way. I will definitely be choosing him in the future.

My client wanted to hire a private investigator for a multi-month business intel project in…read moreSouthern California. I live in another state so, not exactly the easiest task! However, I set about my searching and calling private investigators in the O.C./Los Angeles area utilizing the internet. The long and the short of this task: having never hired a P.I. before, I experienced first hand how intimidating and daunting it can be to find a private investigator who answers/returns your call let alone is reputable and professional. Zatarain Investigations was one of three private investigators I found that made it to our final round for consideration. From the outset, I appreciated that Armando's website had a lot of useful and helpful information and my own additional research found he had claimed business profiles with very favorable reviews on both Yelp and Google. My initial call to Armando ended up going over a half and hour! Talking to Armando that first time felt like catching up with an old friend you hadn't seen in ages: easy, relaxed and fun. I liked the vast and varied experience he and his team brought to the table and I especially liked that Armando was very interested in our quirky project since he said it was something he'd not exactly been hired to do before. Before our call ended that day, Armando told me to call or text him anytime I had any additional questions or concerns. The easy rapport and Armando's genuine interest in us and our project made our final decision of whom to choose an easy one. It was also nice knowing Armando had a trusted team of investigators who'd worked with him for a long time. We've been clients for over four months now and it truly feels like we've become a well-oiled machine together. My client and I appreciate that when the inevitable challenges with our crazy project have come up it's been easy to talk with Armando and Amy and come to a resolution that works for everyone. (Amy is literally the glue that holds the whole business together, she is both amazing and fantastic!) Whether it's thinking outside the box or advising us of best practices within their industry, both Armando and Amy bring their business acumen and A-game to the table every time. Additionally, my client has been extremely pleased with the data outcomes to date and we look forward to our ongoing partnership with Armando Zatarain Investigations in the upcoming months to come!

Armando is a class act and did everything he said he was going to do and more. Going above and…read morebeyond is an understatement...I don't think he sleeps. He made himself available at all hours of the day, seven days a week. He even went and visited my daughter who was incarcerated every weekend and Xmas eve because she was not allowed live visitation. Not because he had to but because he thought it was the right thing to do. The case I retained Armando to investigate was a very serious and complex case in many faucets. Armando was always available, patient and kind throughout the entire process. I recommend Armando and his team to anyone looking for a PI who is responsive and not afraid to go above and beyond. Armando, thank you for everything you have done to help my daughter through this difficult time in her life. Our family is very grateful to have met you...you make a difference in the lives of others and we appreciate you!

Debra Allen and her investigative team far far surpassed my expectations. From the very beginning, Debra was immediately responsive. Tamara was the investigator assigned to us. She is absolutely incredible! We received information on my dad's entire biological family within days. What other P.I.s told us could take months and might not result in much information, Tamara made happen in what seemed like the snap of a finger (even though I'm sure hours of hard work went into it). These people are soo much more than investigators; they understand the complexity of adoptions and are committed to helping. Tamara answered all of our questions and shared her expertise in the most helpful way. She was always immediately responsive and guided us as far as we wanted things to go without ever making things overwhelming for us or making the family we had found feel overwhelmed. I could not have asked for more out of this process. This team knows what they are doing and what they offer is truly priceless! I wholeheartedly recommend them.
