Is Direct Focus Investigations (DFI) Licensed and Insured?
Where do you serve?
What is needed to begin surveillance on a subject?
After the D.F.I. investigators gather the information you requested, they will document their investigative findings in a written report, which often includes photographs and video. D.F.I. investigators will provide courtroom testimony if needed.
How fast can a private investigator start working on my case?
DFI prefers at least 24 hours notice before beginning any investigations to properly prepare.
However, in certain circumstances, we can start an investigation in one to three hours if the situation is genuinely urgent. Weekends are usually the busiest time for our Investigators in the Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange and Riverside Counties; therefore, a 24-hour notice is generally needed for weekend assignments.
Keep in mind that we will not begin the actual investigation until we have collected all the information and retainer, along with a few forms to ensure client confidentiality.
How do I get started?
We require retainer payments before any case begins, and we can process major credit cards (V/MC/Discover/AMEX) over the phone. You can call our offices 24 hours a day for further details, and we look forward to speaking to you about your investigative needs.

Our Blog
Case Studies
Here are our blog posts and case studies regarding issues and situations we have worked with.
Domestic Violence Case Study
We were hired by an attorney on retainer to look into a case involving domestic violence between a husband and wife. The story as told to us was, the couple had a major fight at their house to the extent that the wife hit the husband, to which she admitted to, and the husband choked her, to which he denied. The neighbors overhearing the commotion called the police.
Infidelity Case Study
A man hired us to investigate his wife and determine if she was having an affair. His suspicion was based on her hiding her phone, secretive with passwords, keeping separate phone records, and sleeping with her phone.
Workers Compensation Case Study
A man claimed workman’s comp due to a back injury he incurred as a Plumber. The employer became suspicious and hired us to see if the claim was false.
