Can you help a person who has a home based business?

Yes! We have many clients that now work from home or have home-based-businesses and we can help you have excellent home security to ensure your data stays safe.

Our family has had a cyber attack, can you help?

Yes. We work for high-net worth families who are often the subjects of cyber attacks against their reputations. We do conduct investigations in these matters and we discuss this in a private consultation.

Real SF Bay Area detectives.

While others put liptstick on a pig and pretend to be local, we really are the "private investigator near me" you have searched for. Based out of Napa, we serve the entire Bay Area.

Pay for results, not billable hours.

Our boutique agency is different. In most cases, we will bill for the project, not hours. With hours, you never know when your case will end. Perhaps, it ends when you're out of money. In contrast, we have clear up front all-inclusive pricing so you know what you're getting.

Boutique business, not a big company.

We believe that small businesses make the world go round. The experience between private investigator and client should be closely guarded and kept safe, unlike dealing with admins, case managers, and hi-tech software.

30 years a detective.

Local experience matters.

Spade & Archer expertise comes from more than three-decades of providing high caliber investigations, intelligence, security and mobile device forensics to thousands of clients.

Our agency license number is 23712 and you can visit the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services to validate our credentials.
