Fantastic experience: Best most brilliant investigator in Colorado‼️and I tried over a dozen. He really knows his super spy shit and doesn’t try and stall and dink around wasting your money. So many of them will try and solve your problem with the slowest baby steps that will take forever and never get the results you paid for. Craig is legit with mad integrity. I think my legal team will probably keep him on their speed dial forevermore. Thanks Craig for true Christmas spirit‼️

Fantastic experience: I've used BrightStar using Craig as our PI twice over the last three years. All I can say is WOW. He really does deliver and goes over and above the call of duty. We have been looking for my missing brother in law for three years. No trace since 2016. We assumed he was deceased. Hiring Craig has gotten us more information then anyone, and now we believe he is still alive. We haven't found him yet, but we now know he appears to be alive and believe we know a more specific location. BrightStar is affordable, reliable, and honestly I appreciate all Craig's hard work and determination to uncover the truth as he works on our project. I will definitely use BrightStar again in the future. Love Craig!!!

Negative experience: Called and talked to Tori. Was a pleasant experience. She transferred me to Craig which was someone who doesn’t listen and details are important in an investigation. He was confused by what my intentions are. I wanted to calmly approach the scammer and see if he understood the harm he was causing and maybe help him understand verbally. Apparently Craig took this as a physical beating or something other than what I described. What I’d like to do verses what my intentions are are two totally different things and he couldn’t get that through his head apparently. First off “Craig” I’m not a violent person. Second off “Craig” as a Christian the idea is to help people understand the hurt and pain they cause in this world and not by beating them but helping them understand. Third “Craig” I have friends in the FFTF that handle the dirty work. Your ASSumptions of my intentions were cast on the conversation by YOUR OWN perception not mine. Giving a person the opportunity to correct what they’ve done before the sky falls on them is called redemption. Perhaps you’ve heard of that? Or redeeming themselves. Your assumptions were way out in left field and off the wall. Clearly you only wanted to hear yourself talk and only your perception. I have a number of actual people involved as far as law enforcement in the background including the FBI. I thought being a PI you could help me move things along a little faster with gaining important info I could pass on. Clearly you’re perception fogs the reality of what I was trying to accomplish. Also, you’re more than welcome to call all the other PI’s in Denver and give them your perception of things because if they operate close minded I really don’t care to use them. ****ONE STAR*** wouldn’t recommend due to lack of comprehending and only operating on their belief. I am a practicing Christian/Evangelist gifted man and maybe looking up what we do for the culture would shed some light on your ignorance of my intention. Just a thought.

BrightStar Investigations

Jameson called our company wanted us to find a person so he could fly out to Colorado and "confront" them. We would not complete this task, due to the propensity for conflict and potential violence. Jameson ended the call by swearing at me and hanging up. Sorry Jameson, we will not participate in investigations that have the potential for conflict.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. I will use them again.

Alexis Litle 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had to hire a number of investigators as a defense attorney here in Colorado Springs and absolutely none of them compare to Craig. Other investigators will do the bare minimum, take days or weeks to get back to you, and sometimes fail to deliver at all. Craig is completely opposite. His turnaround time is the fastest I’ve ever seen and his reports are incredibly detailed. Just last week I asked him to find a witness for me and within an hour of me asking Craig had already given me the exact location of the individual as well as some very helpful information that makes my case even stronger, and it was something I didn’t ask for! Craig is now the first and only investigator I call when I need something done for a client. I can’t recommend him enough.

BrightStar Investigations

Thank you Alexis. It is our distinct pleasure to work on your cases!

tiana kingery 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have never had to hire a private investigator before and no idea what the process was. this was an extremely complex case and Brightstar investigations(Craig) went above and beyond!

Larry Hinds 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our family had just had reality TV become our new normal. And then we were asked to contact Craig at BrightStar Investigations and the fear in the unknown of what was ahead was calmed... True Story! He called us the same day , set time in his schedule and listened to us with such attention and concern, like we were his only client, we aren't. Then he did something that only a believer would do, before we left, he lead us in prayer. Craig delivers the truth, good or bad, always. He is so tied to the Holy Spirit that he does not make a move until he is lead to do so. And when he was, he found the new evidence we needed to move forward. Craig is a friend even after his job is done, listening when we are frustrated with the system called Justice, taking time, even if he has to rearrange his life to do so, texting when you least expect it saying he is just checking on everyone. He is smart, experienced, direct, honest, kind, caring and loves his family and the Lord. We are so blessed to know him. If you are trying to get through a storm in your life, Craig is the earthly answer to the prayers you lift to the Lord above.. Believe it!!!

BrightStar Investigations

Larry, Thank you for allowing us to investigate for you. This was a special case and I am grateful that we were able to meet and exceed your investigative needs!!

Fantastic experience: My experience with this company and Craig, was nothing short of amazing!!! When I tell you that man got skills, I mean he got SKILLS!!!!! He did more on this case than he U.S. Marshals could even do!!!! He literally blew me out of the water with his ability to locate the man that hurt my baby girl!! He’s now behind bars, where he deserves to be, because of Craig!! I am living proof that you do not need to look elsewhere! Don’t second guess yourself if your looking for someone to get the job done, because HE WILL GET THE JOB DONE!!!! Period!! This experience has changed my life and my daughter can get the justice she deserves now because of it!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience with the private detectives in Colorado Springs at Brightstar Investigatons.

Kelly Vela 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: BrightStar Investigations was able to serve my ex husband even when he was eluding service in Colorado, staying in different places and he doesn’t have a work place to show up to everyday that could have made it simple to serve him at. On top of all that he travels out of state for work! I also live out of state and was not able to be much help, overseas with a huge time difference! BrightStar didn’t shy away and trust me I had other Private Investigators refuse to help me...it was just too hard of a case. I’m so grateful! When others wanted an open and close service to be completed BrightStar took the challenge on and they were very professional, not curt at all and I truly feel their number one goal was to serve the papers in an absolute legal manner and yet be creative about it. They also didn’t have “were all about the money “ attitude. Service was genuine and prompt, saved me BIG TIME!!! After all you cannot finish up your legal issues if people pretend they don’t know they’re supposed to be in court and try and remain elusive! My divorce was underway because of BrightStar! Money well spent!

We love doing cases like this Kelly!! Thank you for letting us get what you need!!

tamara colvin 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can't believe how quickly Craig professionally handled a difficult situation that all the other private Investigators were unsuccessful at accomplishing!!!! AN HOUR!!!! ONE HOUR!!!! I spent over a year trying to get Carolyn served but Craig served her in less than an hour with video!!! Amazing 100%

BrightStar Investigations

This was a special case Carolyn. Many blessings to you as you proceed with your case.

Tamara Fischer 6 years ago

Positive experience: Craig was great- not even 24 hours passed and he found an address for me. I had to learn about an affidavit from someone else. I requested it from Brightstar and never received it. My situation is I'm sure unique but a bit pricey for just finding an address. Craig was very friendly on the phone.

BrightStar Investigations

We are very happy that we were able to get an address for you so quickly. We are very sorry about the affidavit. It simply was a misunderstanding on our end. We will do everything to ensure that the situation is remedied! Thank you for being a great client!

Lisa Bolan McDivitt 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Brightstar is the ONLY private investigation company I would use- hands down THE BEST!! When you are panicking and don’t know what to do, or need help investigating anything, you should DEFINITELY call Brightstar Investigations. (They REALLY will get the job done and give you relief and peace.) After I was robbed, Brightstar Investigations immediately responded to my call and promptly investigated my concerns that day! They were professional, understanding and VERY good at their job!! Craig and his team resolved the entire situation for me. I made a call to them and they took care of it!! Not only did they locate the criminals IMMEDIATELY- they personally recovered some of my stolen articles!! Brightstar went above and beyond for me and my family on a very scary, confusing and emotional day/night. Their fee was much more affordable than most of the private investigators we have worked with before- AND- months later there was a snafu with bank transfers- Craig called to let me know and sent me a check that day!! I couldn’t ask for anything better from a PI firm: 1. Integrity! 2. IMMEDIATE response to my inquiry 3. QUICK and THOROUGH handling and investigating of the job 4. GREAT COMMUNICATION 5. A lot of patience for hysterical clients 6. Empathic and easy to work with on my problem. 7. The BEST at what they do, and that is helping YOU!

BrightStar Investigations

Thank you so much, Lisa!!

Fantastic experience: My son was missing for over a month in Colorado I felt helpless here in California & it seemed I could get no cooperation or help from anyone including the police. My last option was to turn to a private investigator, I found Brightstar through an internet search, Craig called me back within 2 minutes! He was the only one that offered any real solutions, he spoke with me in great length & replaced my feelings of despair with a sense of peace & confidence. if you find yourself in this place as I did I highly recommend Craig & his team at Brightstar you will be glad! they are worth every penny!

Diana Diaz 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I contacted BrightStar investigations because I needed a restraining order to be served. I will add that I live in California, so I had no idea where the other person was living except that they were in Colorado. In less than 24 hours the person was located and my paperwork was served in an extremely quick manner. I am very satisfied with Craig Smith’s work, he was professional and kept me updated the entire way. Extremely thankful for all his help and the piece of mind I’ve been given. If you’re looking for any investigating services or need documents to be served, stop your search and give them a call.

BrightStar Investigations

Thank you for the kind words Diana.! I wish you all the best as you move forward! God bless!

Fantastic experience: Needed to have a background and criminal records check performed. Did the run-around with the "free" or "nearly free" background check services advertising on the web. Got what I paid for -- very little. Then I contacted Brightstar Investigations. They are the real deal. They performed the real background and criminal records check I needed. They did it thoroughly and promptly. Cost a few more bucks than the "cheap" ones available on the internet, but Brightstar's work was very thorough. It was well worth the investment as their report provided very useful information. Spending a few extra bucks on a real background check probably saved me thousands of dollars in the long run! I'll use them again, and refer my friends to them. Money well spent.

BrightStar Investigations

Chip - you are a great client. Always here for you if you need us!

Jerome Patterson 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would say that Craig is the best by far. He had my situation handled in less than 24 hrs. I would recommend him to anybody.

BrightStar Investigations

Thanks Jerome! Much appreciated!

Ashley Dyke 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more pleased and thankful for the incredible service Craig and his team gave me. Unfortunately, I was put in a very difficult situation and feel very fortunate to have found Brightstar Investigations. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and tactful serving an individual that was evading being served in a major time sensitive situation. If you or someone you know is in need of serving services of any kind or difficulty I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you so very much for everything, Craig and team!

BrightStar Investigations

Expedited and difficult service is something that we specialize in. This case was wild! Had to reach into the bag of tricks for sure. Grace of God all the way! I am so glad that we were able to meet and exceed your needs Ashley!

Sally 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: We used Brightstar Investigations to help us gather information that would enable us to handle a sensitive family matter. We worked with Craig personally and he was extremely helpful in guiding us on what we needed to get the job done. He was also reliable, professional, creative, discreet, responsive and in the end we were successful in getting the information we needed. Would highly recommend him!

BrightStar Investigations

Can't say enough Sally. Definitely had to think outside the box on this case. Thank you for being such a great client!

Sara Austin 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am very happy with the service I have received from Brightstar. Craig took my case immediately and helped me prove that my husband had another woman staying with him for a weekend, that originally was suppose to be a weekend getaway for us. He was great with the follow up information during the investigation and made my decision to leave him even easier. I very please with the service, communication, price and piece of mind. Thank you again.

BrightStar Investigations

Cases like these are why I became a private investigator. I am thankful to God that we found out the truth. I wish you nothing but the best.

Kathy Decker 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: We recently hired Craig Smith of BrightStar to track down an estranged relative, for the purpose of settling an estate. In no time, he had an address and phone number for us. We have since been in contact with the relative, and are able to move on with the estate settlement. Previous to contacting Craig, we'd spent months doing Google and Ancestry searches and had even traveled to the last address we could find. Definitely worth the fee! Thank you Craig and BrightStar.

BrightStar Investigations

My pleasure Kathy. I wish you nothing but the best with the estate.

Paula Jones 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I live in the State of Florida and recently needed the services of a private investigator in Colorado. I contacted Craig at Bright Star and received immediate assistance. I can say without a doubt, he is one of the most respectful, conscientious young men I have ever met. His service was excellent; his professionalism was outstanding. On a personal level, he was candid and practical, offering sensible advice. The insight he had about my situation, was most appreciated. I would highly recommend Craig and his company for any investigative needs you may have

BrightStar Investigations

It was a blessing working on your case Paula. I wish you the best.

Fantastic experience: Craig was extremely QUICK. I was going to go to a different place but I'm glad I searched around a bit more before making my final decision on a service processor. After relaying the information to him, he had had my Ex-wife served within the same day! He was cunning, swift, and accurate. But most importantly persistent! He came up with the necessary dialogue to the get the packet served and took a huge load of stress off of my shoulders. I'm very grateful for this guy and his services. He WILL get the job done. Thank you again Craig, even if my ex-wife was furious with me, you did the job well done! Thank you for protecting my rights and my daughters rights.

BrightStar Investigations

Thank you Adil. I wish you nothing but the best as you move forward.

It's my pleasure Patricia. It's what we do! :)

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend Brightstar Investigations! I was most impressed with their skill and dedication to getting my job done right and in a timely manner. Using all investigative skills available, including database searches and personal address verifications, they were able to serve court documents to a person who'd evaded 3 sheriff's attempts and another personal processor. Their creativity and ingenuity is off the charts. Rest assured, if you hire them, they will get your job done and you won't be disappointed. They insure justice will be served with ethics and high integrity. Two thumbs up and five gold stars!

BrightStar Investigations

This was a tough one Elise. Glad we got the job done!

Baxter's Automotive 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: It's not very often when you can find someone who you can trust and will be 110% honest with you. We contacted Craig to discuss a situation where we needed guidance and expertise. After several conversations and much thought, we decided to follow Craig's suggestions and have been satisfied with the results. I have to say that we found these "consultative-like sessions" to be very enlightening and also felt that Craig had our best interest in mind above his. Thank You !

BrightStar Investigations

Thank you Baxters! Glad I could help!

Fantastic experience: Brightstar is my "go to" investigator for jobs I need done the right way. Craig is always very responsive and quick to get to work. As a criminal defense lawyer, I constantly have cases that require interviews or investigative work that can effect the outcome of a case. I know my clients expect me to retain the services of someone that we can trust when their future is on the line, and Brightstar has come through for me every time. Brightstar has handled my cases quickly, professionally and affordably. I highly recommend Brightstar Investigations.

BrightStar Investigations

Josh - Thank you for your allowing us to serve your client's needs. It is always a pleasure.

Maria Fire 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of my three sons who is now 38 relapsed following the funeral of his older brother here in Asheville, NC (cancer). This formerly addicted son had been clean four years and had built a life for himself in San Diego. Some months after relapsing, he left his wife and according to her headed to Colorado Springs. He called us a month later and told us he had made a new home in the Springs, had a job and was happy there. For three months he stayed in contact with us, but then ceased all communication: no return messages to our emails, phone disconnected, and snail mail returned. My husband and I used every resource we could think of making calls and sending emails to a mobile home park, a place of employment, missing person agencies and the police. Then a high school acquaintance of my son who lives in the Springs did some searching as well. Nothing turned up. I prayed and looked up Colorado PI agencies online. I had no prior experience with this type of service, and was very anxious about making a random call and paying a lot of money. However, when I found Bright Star Investigations, I felt this was the one. Then I read the reviews and was even more convinced. Craig proved to deserve all the compliments and more. I was impressed with how compassionate, diligent and creative he was in his work. His retainer was very reasonable for the number of hours he must have spent discovering concrete leads and information from various individuals. He even obtained several photos we are cherishing. Craig apologized and was disappointed in not getting the outcome he and we would have preferred, but my husband and I have been very comforted by what he did accomplish. Our son is still using, but he has returned to San Diego, where we believe he is happier and safer with more resources, even if he is homeless and using. We feel better knowing he is still alive and in a city he knows how to navigate and loves. Bless Craig for not only providing this information, but for also giving us excellent advice on options at this point. I will always be grateful to him for his kindness and integrity--and would recommend his work to anybody. Maria, Asheville, NC

BrightStar Investigations

Very heartfelt words Maria. Praying that you find resolution soon.

Rebecca Bullion 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I contacted Brightstar via email from out of state and within minutes I had a email from Craig. I must admit I was hesitant at first because I lived 1,200 miles away and was going solely on just Google reviews. This group of guys were truly a God send for our situation. They worked tirelessly on our case, even when it was just reassurance that everything would be okay. Craig and Chad were both amazing. Craig even put us in touch with legal counsel while we were here. To say they went above and beyond just doesn't cover it. I can not recommend these guys enough. Craig and Chad thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.

BrightStar Investigations

It's cases like these that make me so grateful that I am a private investigator. Thank you Rebecca. All the best.

Brently Bullion 8 years ago

Natalie 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I approached Brightstar Investigations because my best friend who is serving a life sentence needed some assistance with post-conviction relief. Craig has worked countless days and hours in this investigation that is ongoing until we can report at a future time that it was all worth the results we are anticipating. He is worth every penny of what he charges if not more. His prices are the most reasonable especially based on the quality of work he puts in. One thing I liked the most is that he is passionate and truly cares about what he does professionally and cares about his clients. I found the experience to be one of the best I have ever had. Craig is thorough, he communicates exceptionally so you are never left to wonder or worry. Craig thinks outside the box. I would strongly recommend Brightstar Investigations to people who need investigative work especially post-conviction relief due to the experience we have had. Craig is extremely knowledgeable and takes pride in his work. Brightstar Investigations is highly recommended.

BrightStar Investigations

Very kind words Natalie. I wish there was more I could do. God bless you.

Juliet Abrego 8 years ago

Positive experience: The service was quick! My telephone calls were answered in a timely fashion. The phone was mostly answered by Investigator Craig. He answered my questions & provided thorough descriptions of his procedures. When I responded in person to the office, the receptionist seemed a bit rude. I was not able to obtain a receipt for documents that I dropped off with that receptionist.

BrightStar Investigations

Thank you Juliet! I am sorry for the miscommunication at the front desk. Rest assured - that won't happen again! Thanks Juliet!

L W 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was needing a person located and served court papers in the Colorado Springs area, since I live in California I was in need of a service that could get this done for me. Craig received the information and within a few hours he was already updating me on the status. I would recommend Brightstar to anyone needing this type of service. I didn't think this would have ever been possible to get this done. I greatly appreciate the prompt service that was provided and I was kept up to date in every step.

BrightStar Investigations

Thanks Lesley. This case was unique, and by the grace of God we overcame every challenge and got the job done. We wish you all the best in everything you do!
