Although I decided against using a private investigator, Jim was very upfront and honest which I appreciated. He genuinely wanted to help me and gave me some very sound advice. I'd highly recommend him and will certainly be contacting him again if I am ever seeking the services of a P.I. Thanks Jim, you helped me more than I think you realise.
