Fantastic experience: Jan is the best private investigators with whom I have had the pleasure of working. She literally accomplished the impossible in one of my cases, finding a witness that we had been trying to locate for years. I have worked with over two dozen P.I.s over my 35-year career and can unequivocally say that she is the best. And that is saying a lot. I am based in California and work with some very high-end private investigators.

Fantastic experience: I am an experienced P.I./process server with almost 30 years of experience. I hired Barefoot for a critical case assignment based on an outstanding recommendation I recieved from another P.I. company based here in Arizona. Barefoot exceeded my expectations... They acted quickly, kept me updated on the status of the assignment and then hit a big home run for both me and my law firm client by accomplishing exactly what we needed done. I am only giving them five stars because this site doesn't allow for 10! Doug Sarrett Boulder Creek Investigations Phoenix, Arizona

Fantastic experience: Jan provided unbelievable investigative assistance, traversing Raleigh and its surroundings for a solid day in search of someone who had not lived at the last address we had for him for a few years and had no family in the surroundings. She was amazing, indefatigable, determined, upbeat, and ultimately successful. Working with her (she was trying to find a long-ago-moved-away witness in my case) was a wonderful, eye-opening, and fun (!) experience. She was a consummate professional in every respect, including in the tactful and respectful way in which she spoke with the witness and gently encouraged him to do the right thing and admit that he had perjured himself years earlier and the way that she handled the witness when he returned and provided an affidavit. She was very high-tech, with an impressive array of gadgets to record and wide-ranging databases to search. And she had long-term, personal knowledge of people and places in Raleigh that contributed to our success — all in all a tour de force.
Fantastic experience: I have leveraged Jan and her team for several sensitive issues, to include workplace violence investigations. Jan is a wonderful professional partner and delivers PI services in a very efficient and coordinated manner. Most notable is the high level of discretion she and her team exercise during each and every case. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of professional investigative services.
Fantastic experience: Jan and her Investigators, gave very detailed, comprehensive and quality reports on their investigations. They are a professional team, that developed a plan of service and followed through toward completion. Very good service for the work provided.
Reggie, I am so glad that you were able to obtain a great result for your case!
Fantastic experience: Jan and Megan were responsive, did great investigative work and provided an excellent report. Highly Recommend!
Fantastic experience: Jan and her team are wonderful! She's quick to respond to requests and she always gives me great results. In particular, I typically call Jan seeking an investigation that follows an approach I developed. She will often times suggest other ways to approach the investigation that are big improvements on my initial ideas, or completely different (and better) than my initial approach. Barefoot is an amazing resource for any attorney!
Thank you Matt! It is always a pleasure working with you and your clients!

Negative experience: If I could give 0 stars I would!
Christian, You have never been a client of Barefoot Professional Investigations. In follow up to this review, I was able to do further research and learn that you gave the exact same review to a variety of companies on the same day. I then spoke with you and learned that at the time you wrote this review, you worked for a telemarketing company and was not happy because no one at our office was interested in the product you were selling. You also agreed to remove this review since you were never an actual client and did not have a relationship with our company to justify the ability to provide a review.
