New York City — the world’s financial capital and cultural epicenter — is a place of constant motion and endless complexity. Behind the city’s bright lights and busy streets, however, real people and businesses face real problems: suspicions in relationships, hidden truths in business, fraud, theft, and more. When facts are unclear and emotions run high, hiring a professional private investigator becomes the smartest choice.
But in a city known for high costs, many assume hiring a private investigator is a luxury reserved for the wealthy. That’s not true. Thanks to New York Investigations, founded and led by David Schassler, confidential and professional investigative services are now affordable, transparent, and accessible to everyone across New York City.
If you need truth — but don’t want to overpay for it — New York Investigations is the agency that delivers reliable results at a fair price.

In New York City, the cost of living is high — and so are the stakes when you need to uncover the truth. Whether it’s a spouse’s infidelity, a dishonest employee, or a missing person, the need for facts shouldn’t be limited by financial constraints.
David Schassler founded New York Investigations on the principle that everyone deserves access to professional investigative services, not just the wealthy or corporate elite.
Affordable doesn’t mean cheap — it means fair, efficient, and transparent. By combining technology, strategy, and experience, the firm keeps investigation costs reasonable without cutting corners.
Why affordability matters:
Accessibility: Everyday New Yorkers can get professional help without financial strain.
Fairness: Clients only pay for the time and resources truly needed — no inflated fees.
Trust: Transparency in pricing builds long-term client relationships.
Efficiency: The focus is on effective solutions, not unnecessary expenses.
In short, affordability equals honesty, and that’s the philosophy that drives David Schassler and his team.
Hiring an affordable private investigator in NYC can be tricky. Some firms advertise low rates but deliver poor service or questionable results. Others charge premium fees simply because they operate in Manhattan.

Custom Packages: Pay only for what you need — whether it’s a 3-hour surveillance session or a full background report.
In-House Investigations: No subcontractors, which keeps costs and risks low.
