07/19/11 BEST Private Investigators In Nevada by quin777 at Citysearch

We are very large law office in Nevada representing many insurance agencies and work comp claims. Background checks, Drug Testing, and Surveillance are a major part of our profile and we needed a dependable investigator in Nevada.
We were referred to Dustin Grate at Spencer Investigations from another very large law firm Holland and Hart in Nevada and also by State Farm Insurance to use Spencer Investigations and Dustin Grate.
Spencer Investigations is extremely professional with pricing and work product and response to our request for help. Dustin Grate and Jeff Partyka have helped us on several cases from backgrounds to security along with Drug Testing our employees. I called several other P.I. firms in town asking the same questions prior to us using Spencer Investigations I am very glad I made those call because after talking to the other firms it was clear Spencer Investigations is the BEST is town!

Over the years we as a firm have had to deal with a lot of investigators. We were blessed to have been recommended to Dustin Grate with Spencer Investigations. He has provided our firm with wonderful investigative skills and experience to boot. We handle Criminal Defense work and without the diligence that Dustin has provided and his investigative skills many of our cases would not have turned out like they did. Investigations in our cases have been top notch and we appreciate the attention to detail that Dustin puts into each and every case we give him. Thanks from our Team. RM.
Pros: amazing awesome and great
Cons: none

Security and Surveillance are a very crucial part of our company. We invest time and money into Spencer Investigations and depend on them to provide back to us facts and reports of what they have discovered during the investigative process. The security they can and do provide to and with our firm is amazing and top of the line! This is the only Security firm and Investigative firm that we will ever use in the Reno Nevada area. Dustin Grate has been our contact with Spencer Investigations and has always provided professional services with investigations and security! With the expert staff, the Security and Investigations are best we could ask for! Thanks to the entire crew of Spencer Investigations.

Dustin Grate with Spencer Investigations skilled and professional Upon calling several Private Investigation firms in Reno I called Spencer Investigations because of a referral by another attorney friend to Dustin Grate. I use Dustin after using another firm in Reno and got screwed over by high prices and no results. Dustin provided confident answers to my questions and then provided a full investigation faster and CHEAPER than his local competitor. I have used him now on multiple investigations and dumped the other firm I was using because of the skills and abilities that he provided to our firm we have won several major cases and have provided amazing results to our clients with his reports. Thanks Dustin Grate and Spencer Investigations for all your past and future work! Mike…

Investigations, Services, Surveillance During these times it is nice to find HONEST people working with integrity and respect for others. We recently had several request for Spencer Investigations to perform a very large surveillance for us and to provide service of documents in the same case. We knew it was going to be expensive because of the nature of the events that needed to be done. Dustin Grate came highly recommended to us by our attorney and using Google search for investigators in Reno Nevada. To cut it short he did not over charge us and went beyond our expectations and provided everything we needed. THANK YOU!

Professionalism at its best Defense to Prosecution Trial after trial I use Spencer Investigations because of one main reason, PROFESSIONAL investigators. They bring a touch of everything to every case, Retired FBI agent, Retired Law-Enforcement personnel, and Fraud. A perfect match for any investigation needed. I know I can call 24/7/365 and get somebody to answer the phone. They are always willing to jump at the next case and make our firm feel like it is the only case they are working on. Dave Spencer, Dustin Grate, Jeff Partyka, and Nikki Chandler are among the best you could ask for. THANKS in advance for everything!

investigation that saved my sons life Murder to a Plea A great investigator and a great attorney saved my sons life in Winnemucca Nevada. Rich Molezzo attorney and Dustin Grate investigator worked a case for my son who was accused of murder in Winnemucca Nevada. Because of a great attorney and an amazing investigator accusation of murder were proved to be “bunk”. The case never went to trial and the D.A. gave a plea. I could not thank the Rich Molezzo and Dustin Grate enough for believing in the case and following it to the end. Thanks you!
