Patrick, Brian and the whole team at Ohio security and investigation really came through for me. I was at a loss on how to handle a breakup and kept hearing about how my ex had been cheating and using me the entire time. I got the team started and within 2 weeks they had found a pattern of abusive manipulative behaviors from multiple ex girlfriends. Lying cheating and stealing were a game for him. This whole team took me under their wing and made sure I was safe as they planned and executed the retrieval of my items. I will be forever grateful for my life back.
