I needed help with clarifying some information about someone and the DPA was very professional and thorough. I would highly recommend it. Everything is discreet from the interaction to the information requested. The report made me realize that I have a very honest partner.

Anna is one of a kind, she’s witty, intelligent, and has an investigative prowess that will leave you wondering why you didn’t call her earlier… a breath of fresh air!

Supervisor

Sam & Anna are an incredible team! They were able to get to the bottom of a past employee’s very dark background which saved my small business. I would give 10 stars if I could!

After decades of disappointment, Anna James came along, reawakened my hopes, created an investigation and engaged my community. The addition of Sam Marx has further elevated the media services I get from Anna and her agency. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Denise

Missing Person Media

Prior to consulting with Recover Agency a lawyer quoted me $10,000 and was very vague on his course of action. With Anna I was provided pertinent information in 1 day to take on my own accord, saving me thousands.

Anna James has personally worked with me on a very extensive and complicated case with great success. She is a very skilled and professional Private Investigator with a vast amount of knowledge. She uses new school methods using technology combined with old school boots on the ground methods to accomplish her goals of making cases successful.

I look forward to any future opportunity to work along side Anna and her agency and will highly recommend her without hesitation.
