Hla Investigations

do ur homework Pros: na Cons: na more

Hired to do a simple job, got no feed back, no reports...nada, zip, zilch! Great a yapping about his skills and ""friends in the courts and law practices"" , and how he goes to all their Christmas parties....but you will get nothing more. He scammed a guy desperate for help and trusting him, of his last $300.00. Shame on you Hap ! Scamming Marine Vets !No receipts either...so if you want to flush your bucks down the toilet...invest in HLA. So wanted to write a rave review, and it would have taken so little to actually earn the bucks.Am sorry to feel so strongly about this that I write this bad review. Would love for HLA to prove me wrong and come up with the goods...but he has not returned any phone calls, in fact, has disconnected most phone numbers . Seems proof positive of a dodgy business , don't you think? Pros: colorful stories ( no substance ) Cons: Zilch for your money! more

I met him at the court house in Joshua Tree. He approached me, seemed amiable enough, He was hired to serve various lien papers for us. Not one was ever served. He had so many ""explanations"" which are really excuses. Thankfully I kept a second set and hired someone else who served them within 24 hours and filed the correct paper work with the court. When I questioned him about the delays in serving the papers he started out polite, then got a bit rude, then beligerent, then actually red in the face. His telephone manners are deplorable and he yelled at me via the phone. He did not refund my money when I requested it and said it was for ""labor and gas"". He did not return my papers when requested and cursed at me for using someone else (again, getting red in the face.) He can't keep anything quiet or secret, you can hear his voice through closed doors. I have heard him on his phone talking so loud anyone could hear his side of the conversation (and that was from outside) - rude, rude, rude. He is a con-man, very unprofessional and rude. And to be honest, I don't know if he is bonded, has a license to serve legal papers, is licensed with the State of California as a private investigator, is a licensed paralegal and all the other legal things he claims to be. He took no responsiblity for his unprofessionalism and rudeness, he blamed it all on me. Pros: Not one Cons: Rude, Demanding, Unprofessional, Cursing and Swearing more

This company has no boundaries. The owner Harvey Ames has contacted myself and my family and friends. He was rude to all. He has no professionalism and does not understand the meaning of boundaries. I understand that investigators are there to find information but not at the expense of grieving people. As far as I am concerned he is making himself just as bad as the criminals he is trying to protect. Cons: attitude, no professionalism, no concern for people more

We highly recommend Mr. Ames !He was quick to work, promptly received and returned calls. Mr . Ames kept us up to date on our case , and went above and beyond our expectations. We wish we would have hired Mr. Ames in the beginning of our case. He helped us resolve some issues regarding our case that would never have been brought to light had we not hired hi,. Thank-you Harvey Ames ! more

Harvey Ames is the investigator supposedly. I wish I had never hired him. He took hundreds dollars from me for a few sheets of paper. He flew into a complete rage when I asked him to complete the job I hired him to do and get me the information I asked for. I never got the requested information. I would avoid this business all together. Cons: everything, scammer more

We hired HLA investigations to serve two subpoenas and conduct a simple criminal background search. HLA told us that they had attempted to serve the subpoenas several times without success. As it turned out the offices they were being served on never saw or heard from HLA. HLA also never gave us any information from the criminal background search. When I confronted HLA with this the owner, Harvey Ames, flew into a rage on the phone, cursed me out and hung up. I never heard from Mr. Ames again and never got my requested refund. Cons: Scam artist. more
