Eleven core practice areas, all personally directed by David Schassler. Every case begins with a free, confidential consultation.
Every service here is handled by a licensed New York private investigator. Whether you need a private detective for a personal matter or last minute surveillance for a business problem, NYIA has done it since 1989.
Most people who call us cannot name the service they need, and that is fine. You do not have to. Describe what happened in plain words and we will tell you which practice area fits, or tell you honestly that none of them do.
Cases also cross over more than people expect. A matrimonial case often turns into a financial matter once assets start moving. A corporate theft case usually needs surveillance and a background check together. A missing person case can start as a records search and end as a welfare check at a front door. You are hiring the agency, not a single product, and the plan changes as the facts do.
Three things shape every quote. How many hours in the field the case needs, how many investigators it takes to stay unseen, and whether the result has to survive a courtroom. Evidence built for court costs more than answers built for peace of mind, because the documentation standard is higher and someone has to be able to testify to it later.
Every service on this page is run by a licensed New York investigator. You can check our license, number 11000169770, at the New York Department of State license search. If your case is outside what we do well, we will say so and point you somewhere better. The first conversation is free.
