Fantastic experience: I recently hired Michael Colella, Chicago Intel Agency, to assist me with an on-line dating scam and I am thoroughly impressed the work that was done. From the moment I contacted Michael, he was professional, prompt, and friendly. He paid incredible attention to detail and was able to get the results I knew, but wanted confirmed. What stood out was his care I handling my case and his commitment to ensuring I was satisfied with the result. He willingly contacted the individual whose identity was stolen and make sure that party was aware of what had happened. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Colella and his agency to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality investigator. I considered his services an investment in my future as I plunge into the dating world after 29 years. I learned a lot and while I hope I won’t be needing his services again, I’ll definitely use him if something suspicious comes up.

His kindness, business intelligence and his genuine concern for his clients and their loved ones are just some of the traits he possesses that make hi. A superior investigator. Over the years I've had him help me with a few different private matters. His extreme focus and willingness to find answers as quickly as possible was always very impressive all the while remaining very discreet. Above all, he's probably one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and will go above and beyond to get a job done. As a female, it's sometimes hard ro find someone to trust and that has your best interests in mind...I never had to worry for an instant with Michael. He's a great business man, thorough and always kept me in the loop of his progress. I cannot recommend Michael enough for any needs you may have.

Fantastic experience: We are very happy that we asked Michael Colella to help us with some issues my family is having. He helped us through the first hurdle and we may very well need him again. Since it is ongoing, we cannot yet share all the details as others have in their reviews. Suffice it to say, when we looked for an investigator, we, like so many, researched the internet to locate someone who would work hard to help us. We felt the reviews Michael had on the internet were very honest and, in a few cases, incredible. The many stories’ people have shared encouraged us to take a chance with Michael and his CIA group. We are very happy we did. He was professional, open and honest with us. We definitely felt he had our best interest at heart. We highly appreciate all that Michael and his team did for us and we highly recommend him to anyone who needs the help of a great investigator.
Fantastic experience: I was at a loss and did not know where to turn Chicago Intel Agency Ltd helped me so much. I had been trying to get someone served for court. The county police were not able to find the person and I had paid another Agency and nothing again. Till I found Chicago Intel Agency, they were able to locate the person and get him served in less than a week. I know they had to do some digging to find him, but they used all the resources they had, and I received a phone call last night that they found the person and he was served. I could have not done this without the help of Chicago Intel Agency. If anyone needs help like I did this is the company to call. They do what they say and get it taken care of. THANK YOU SO MUCH ONCE AGAIN.
Fantastic experience: First I wanna start by saying Mike's character and empathy of our situation made my fiance and I feel so comfortable working with him. He takes all cases very serious and especially takes ones that deal with children to another level of care and urgency to protect. We got a chance to speak with Mike while he was in the process of serving the court orders to the respondents. He LITERALLY does any and everything to get this work done. My fiance and I live in a different state and had to depend solely on Mike to find these people and serve them. He even took a photo of the respondent and sent it to us. Mind you the respondents live in an apartment building and we had no idea what the unit number was, him and his team were able to figure it out and BAMMM! Got them!!!! Thank you Mike and your team for all you guys do! These 5 stars are not enough! I plan to give Mike's info to anyone I meet that needs something done, his number is stored in our phones just in case and just knowing that I know who to call has brought us so much empowerment and peace at the same time. Mike will be the first person we call when we need help! I pray they continue their amazing services for many many more years to come as they have helped so many other people, I noticed this when I did my research. I am honored to be giving my testimony along with many others. Mike is great! Thank you

Fantastic experience: What a relief it is to meet someone who undersells themselves. Michael was very informative and upfront about costs and expectations before anything else to lay a solid foundation on which to build our business relationship. From there he asked questions about the situation and the reason for inquiring about a PI. In true fashion he then essentially offered a menu to order off of with the pros AND cons of each option. No one wants to need a PI but if you’re in the market look no further. Very prompt with services, reliable, approachable and genuinely caring with a vast wealth of knowledge and experience that shined through with each interaction.

He gave me important information and informed me that I could contact the Insurance company and that this does not cost a penny to do! He informed me that I could contact the insurance company and give them all of the information and evidence I have that would prove that my friends mother DID NOT DIE OF NATURAL CAUSES & IT WAS AT THE HANDS OF HER DAUGHTER AND IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL DEATH(MURDER)! So, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHERE TO START, START HERE, AND ASK FOR MIKE, AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO START! I was so happy to finally get justice for Mrs. Williams today, thank God!!! KIMBERLY W.

Fantastic experience: There are professionals and those who call themselves professionals. Michael Colella is an absolute professional. With decades of experience, Mr. Colella ensures a service beyond expectation. I hired Mr. Colella to serve a Court Order that the Respondent had been avoiding when the County Sheriff tried to serve them numerous times. Within 24 hours of hiring Mr. Colella the Respondent was not only served, but I also received my Affidavit of Service to file with the court. Protecting those you love can be the hardest thing you do in life, finding the strength and courage to do so can cause extreme heartache. Mr. Colella allowed me to have peace in knowing that service to the Respondent was not just complete, but done in a professional and efficient manner. I am very grateful to him for his expertise in this sensitive case.

Fantastic experience: Mike was great! I had to admit I was skeptical like I always am at first but once the report came out for my case, not only did he uncover some really crazy information involving some illegal stuff going on with my ex but the report was thorough and organized. It will also help in another case I have against my ex. He recorded 24 hours a day and caught everything. Now many of her lies will be uncovered in court and there will be no going back. I feel really confident about my case now! I’m grateful I had CIA on my side for this one.

She was dropping him off at my family members house spontaneously, and wouldn’t come back to pick him up for weeks. This woman evaded cook county sheriffs on three occasions, and two separate private investigators two more attempts for Three years straight. Until I heard about Chicago Intel Agency, after calling and scheduling and appointment and detailing my case with Mike I felt very comfortable about moving forward. Five days after my appointment Chicago Intel Agency, had found and served the individual who had been running for 3 years.

Fantastic experience: Michael Colella is #1 in the world of investigations. He bats 100/100 in my book.

Fantastic experience: My now wife and I couldn’t of been more grateful when we stumbled upon Chicago Intel Agency. Michael and his associates went above and beyond for our difficult and borderline case. A true passion and integrity for his work, particularly involving children, radiates from Michael’s highly energetic personality. Very down to earth and personable.

Fantastic experience: I am writing this letter in support of Michael Colella, a licensed private investigator, who has worked in the investigating field for years. Mr. Colella is an exceptionally skilled and thorough investigator. He has over twenty years of experience in the investigation field. He is tenacious in following his leads and getting to the heart of a matter. He is both creative and circumspect in his approach to case analysis and investigation. Mr. Colella has a pleasant demeanor and easily builds rapport with his clients. They respond well to his thoroughness, his sense of humor. Finally, Mr. Colella has an outstanding work ethic. I would highly recommend Mr. Colella for any type of investigative work. You will NOT be disappointed."
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to give a testimonial to the services I received from this company, Chicago Intel Agency, Ltd., who comes very well recommended. The services are excellent. I was trying to find out some info on a specific individual and his particular background. I appreciate everything they did for me. I would highly recommend this company to anyone that is looking for something to be investigated or any concerns about anyone or anything. Thank you for your help, consideration and prompt work in finding out the answers to my questions. Kathy King
Fantastic experience: I met Michael on LinkedIn and was very happy we did. From the first day to the last day, he was nothing but professional, friendly, easy to work with and truly listened to our concerns of the situation we hired him for. His work is diligent and he stops at nothing to find the information needed for the case at hand. He continues to stay in touch, although the information he found was what we needed to win the case. He’s hands down, one of the most greatest people you want in your corner. I would highly recommend Michael and Chicago Intel to anyone that needs not only detective work but someone that will get the job done! It’s an honor to have met Michael and we are so glad we did!
Fantastic experience: On August 16, 2020, my father was involved in a hit and run. He was in the hospital for four days. On the fourth day, he sadly passed away. I had an individual reach out and provided me with the alleged driver's name and the photos of the vehicle that was involved. I proceeded to forward the information to police who were handling my father's case. I spent months trying to get information from the police department and it got me nowhere. It took eight months for the police to finally get an arrest warrant. I received a call from the police that day and they stated they were waiting for the suspect to break the law once again to be found and arrested. They were not going to go and actively search for the guy. At that point, I became frustrated beyond belief and I reached out to Chicago Intel Agency, Ltd. Michael Colella met up with me and my mother and agreed to help us out and find the guy who hit my father. Within a week, he found the whereabouts of the suspect. Michael then did a news interview and brought awareness to the case while local law enforcement continued to drag their feet. I'm happy and want to say thank you to Chicago Intel Agency, Ltd., especially Michael for getting the suspect behind bars. Michael took the time and answered every single question my mother and myself had at all times of the day. He walked us through every step of the way and gave us advice on the best way to get the results we desired. Without Michael, I truly believe the suspect would still be on the streets. We cannot thank Michael and Chicago Intel Agency, Ltd. enough for all the hard work they did in bringing this bad guy to justice!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about working with Michael. He is professional, attentive to detail, honest, and someone you can trust. He truly cares about his clients and wants the best for them. He is passionate about his work and will always make time for his clients. The best choice you could make.
Fantastic experience: After being faced with a serious problem, I searched out the best private investigators out there and contacted Michael Colella of Chicago Intel Agency, Ltd. I did my due diligence and came to the determination that Mr. Colella was one of the best investigators out there. I was correct because after meeting with him and discussing the issue at hand, I knew that he and his experience would help me prevail and I did. There is no question that I would recommend him to anyone seeking the services of a private investigator for any situation they may be facing. His work is nothing less than spectacular and I am so glad that I hired him. I literally cant thank their agency enough for their persistent effort and ability to protect my data from fraud and hackers. The internet is a dangerous place where law enforcement and just bad people try to steal your identity by any means necessary and if you let your guard down they will but if you work with C.I.A. (Chicago Intel Agency Ltd.) they'll protect your constitutional rights far better than the CIA ever could pretend to. Absolutely 100 percent recommendation from me.
Fantastic experience: I have known Michael for about ten years, not only has he always been ready and available to help me but also any referrals I send! Very professional!
Fantastic experience: This agency is awesome. Very caring and easy to talk to. I had them investigate a personal issue. They were very professional and discreet. I will us them again in a heartbeat
Fantastic experience: For over the last two years we have been looking to locate my child. After hiring multiple PI firms and process servers to sever her mom with court documents, to get this process of custody and DNA going I was finally able to. This would not have been possible if it wasn’t for Micheal Colella and his team. Three other companies failed to locate her and properly serve her within two weeks time Mr. Colella was able to locate her and have her served!!! After years of waiting and wasting time and money I’m able to actually go to court and fight for my child! Where others failed he was able to locate her, and serve her within two weeks. I’m absolutely grateful. If you’re looking for someone in the PI industry who is no nonsense and will produce results this is the guy!--
We are glad that the work we performed for you has brought you one step closer to being with your daughter.
Fantastic experience: Michael help me with locating my child's father that dodged a Child Support summons in the past. I will soon start a new case.He walked me through the process. He was knowledgeable, detailed, quick, and was a pleasure to work with. I am thankful for his service and would recommend anyone needing help with locating someone.
I am glad my detective agency and myself were able to assist you and get your case back on track.
Fantastic experience: Michael is the real deal! I have a paternity case where the Respondent was ducking service and then the Respondent's job was also protecting their own and trying to throw us off their scent. Michael did it. He got the Respondent and I was able to proceed to help unite a father with their child when the mother essentially went off the grid. I found Michael through a number of attorney's that brought up his name to me and he delivered. Thank you Michael and Chicago Intel Agency, LTD!!!!!!!
Thank you for the review. Glad we were able to assist you and your client.
Fantastic experience: I never thought that I would be in a position where I needed a private investigator. I am so lucky that I found Michael Colella when I did. Michael always went above and beyond gathering evidence that could potentially save my family hundreds of thousands of dollars. I can’t thank him enough for the work he did for me and my children. I can’t wait to recommend his service to others that are in my situation. He has given me hope for my children’s financial future once again.
Fantastic experience: My name is Paul Kludac and I am the proud owner of Detail Kings Hand Car Wash and Detail Shop. In January we got contracted by a dealership to detail over 40 cars for Elite Auto Group. When my client didn't pay his invoices after 30 days he started ghosting all my calls, emails and texts. After being 90 days delinquent on his invoices I hired an attorney to file a small claims case against this dealership seeing it cost me thousands of dollars in labor to service his vehicles and still haven't received payment. I hired a private detective that my attorney recommended and he was unable to serve the defendant. I have known Michael Colella for years and decided to give him a call and see if he can help serve the defendant so I can have my day in court with him. Michael put me at ease and guaranteed he would get this dead beat who was no where to be found. This morning I received a call and Michael told me after countless hours of investigating he made contact with the defendant and was able to process serve him. Michael's confidence and getting the job done has earned a client for life. I will happily refer clients his way. He is the Godfather and the master at his craft. Thanks again for a job well done Michael Colella with Chicago Intel Agency.
Thanks Paul. I’m glad we were able to help you out and successfully locate this individual that’s been extremely hard for everyone else to locate. We put 100% of our effort into every case that we work and this proves it. Thank you once again for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: Mike and all of his staff are the BEST!! I have been using Chicago Intel Agency for over 10 years. No need to look anywhere else. I have to say it is incredible how quickly Mike can find someone in handing and serve the court papers. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I’ve used Michael a couple of times. His dedication and professionalism are top notch!! I would highly recommend him and his company. He gets the job done!!
