Case Example: Locating a Birth Mother for Medical History
A 34-year-old Orange County woman contacted us after being diagnosed with a genetic condition requiring information about her biological family's medical history. She had limited information: her birth mother's first name, approximate age, and the county where she was born in 1989.
Our investigation revealed:
- Birth mother's full legal name through sealed adoption records cross-reference
- Current address in Northern California located through property records and database searches
- Employment information and social media profiles
- Verification that birth mother was open to contact
We facilitated initial contact through a sensitive intermediary approach. The birth mother welcomed the reunion, provided complete medical history, and the two now maintain regular contact. Total investigation timeline: 12 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at Kathie@Allenmorrispi.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Investigation costs vary based on what you need. Missing person searches typically start at $300. Surveillance services bill hourly at $135 per hour plus expenses, with most cases requiring several hours. Background checks range from $250-$800 depending on depth. We provide clear cost estimates during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, absolutely. Everything you share during consultation and throughout the investigation is kept strictly confidential. We never disclose client identity or case details to anyone without your explicit permission. Your privacy is protected by professional licensing requirements and our confidentiality agreements.
Timeline varies based on how long they've been missing and available information. Recent disappearances with good starting information often resolve within 1-2 weeks. Longer-term missing persons or adoptee searches can take 3-6 weeks. Success rate for California missing person cases exceeds 75% when basic identifying information is available.
We can document a person's activities, associations, and whereabouts through surveillance. If infidelity is occurring, we typically obtain photographic or video evidence within 3-5 surveillance sessions. However, we provide honest assessments: if surveillance doesn't reveal concerning behavior, we'll tell you that as well.
Professional investigators conduct surveillance and research discreetly. The person being investigated should not become aware of the investigation in most cases. We use unmarked vehicles, vary our appearance, and employ techniques that maintain complete discretion throughout field work.
The more information you have, the better, but we can work with limited details. Helpful information includes full name, approximate age, last known location, former addresses, relatives' names, employment history, or physical description. Even partial information can lead to successful location in many California cases.
Yes, private investigators are legal and regulated by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. All legitimate investigators must hold an active PI license. Always verify license status before hiring. Our license number is #27033 and can be verified through the state licensing board.
Workplace bullying includes repeated, unreasonable actions directed at an employee or group that create a risk to health, safety, or job performance. Examples include verbal abuse, intimidation, exclusion, undermining work, or spreading rumors. It goes beyond ordinary workplace conflict and reflects a pattern of harmful behavior.
Yes, we can document a parent's activities, living conditions, associations, and behavior relevant to custody concerns. This includes monitoring for substance abuse, dangerous associates, neglect, or violations of custody orders. Evidence we gather can support custody modification requests in Orange County and California family courts.
We can typically begin investigation work within 24-48 hours of engagement. For urgent matters like missing persons or time-sensitive surveillance, we can often start same-day or next-day. Initial consultation is available same day for Orange County clients and within 24 hours for other California locations.
We provide honest assessments upfront about likelihood of success. If during the investigation it becomes clear we won't achieve the desired results, we inform you immediately and discuss whether to continue or conclude. We never string clients along or waste money on investigations unlikely to succeed.
