Compass Investigations: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Compass Investigations was there for my legal aid firm, helping us serve a group of lawsuits on the corporations we are fighting to get justice for disaster survivors. They gave us an affordable rate, even on a legal aid budget, and served all documents promptly. we would use Compass again if we needed to serve someone in the South Florida area.
Fantastic experience: There are not enough words to show how grateful I am to John Van Steenkiste of Compass Investigations. Years ago, I almost lost my daughter, after research we found Compass investigations and the first phone call made was answered in detail by John’s bilingual secretary who is always so kind, caring and professional. It was John of Compass investigation who came to the rescue in the court room providing the proof I needed to show the accusations against me where completely un-true. Not only did he get the proof needed but also recommended me with the best attorney who gave me my life back, my daughter. Sadly, that amazing attorney, and human being Greg A. Lewen passed. For years I was stuck in search of someone who would continue the case Greg had started but I’ll I did was waste time and a lot of money. It wasn’t until I went back to John and explain the complex of my still open case, that he once again not only heard me but without any interest or charge, once again advise me on what attorney to hire and it was his great advise base on his experience of working with so many attorneys all of these years that finally got me to the right attorney whom gave us victory in court ,and at last closed our case. Thank you Compass investigations team, for all your hard work all done in our case, always taking our calls, advising and being so caring to the fullest, providing an excellent level of professionalism. GOD BLESS YOU JOHN & COMPASS INVESTIGATIONS TEAM!

Fantastic experience: It’s never fun to have to serve someone divorce papers from across the country, I’m so lucky to have found compass investigations. VANESSA , was very straight forward and had my paperwork served in such a timely manner. I cannot thank her enough for her prompt attention. If I ever need to get divorced again and find someone I will definitely use them again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Fantastic experience: The people at this company went way out of their way to help me in a difficult situation. they called back to keep me informed as things progressed. They really cared about trying to make things work out .
Fantastic experience: I want to share a recent experience I had with a Private Investigator out of Hebron, KY. Why would I/you need a PI? You might be surprised! Not everything she does is based on criminal activity; nor does it need to be a "colossal investigation." Recently, I struggled with confirming some genealogy history. Genealogy is definitely not my area of expertise. I admire the people who have the interest and knowledge. Lory gave me the security of a professsional confirming and bringing an end to my long journey. I had gone as far as my skill level would permit. Professionally, I have worked with numerous PIs throughtout my career; and on many levels. Most were experienced but did not possess the "human touch.” Whether I hire you professionally or personally, communication is essential. LORY SINGLETON, PI is the epitome of integrity, compassion and expertise. She gave me constant updates, suggestions and feedback. She was efficient and did not prolong the pursuit for my results to feed her financial gain. As you may surmise, it was definitely a great experience! I wish she were on my "family tree." Regardless of your need, I would suggest you bookmark or tuck away her information, as you may need a little extra help some day; or just want to satisfy your old fashion curiosity!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to Sonya and her team. She was very professional and responsive. Will recommend!
Samantha, thank you for your kind words. We are grateful for clients like you!
Fantastic experience: Working at a large firm in the Ft. Lauderdale area, it is paramount for me to receive fast and dependable service on multiple matters on a daily basis at a competitive value to my firm. If these are primary qualities you require for your service and investigative needs, then look no further than Compass Investigations. For the past several years I have been able to reliably call upon Compass for process service and investigative needs. The investigators at Compass are highly communicative and even when there is difficulty obtaining service, I am continually impressed by their investigators ability to adjust on the fly. In addition to their great service and despite their numerous clients, Mr. Van Steenkiste personally communicates with me to ensure my satisfaction with his company's services. You will not find a more efficient, locally owned and operated business that offers better results than Compass. I implore you, give these guys a try. They won't disappoint!

Fantastic experience: On a personal basis and on behalf of my company, I have retained the services of John Van Steenkiste and Compass Investigations on several occasions. His due diligence and professional investigative approach, has found answers I needed every single time. He also saves attorneys money. I've observed his work on civil and criminal cases, and he knows exactly what the courts look for. Not only does he find undiscovered evidence and different perspectives but his in-depth analysis "with solutions" for any problem is amazing. The man is a genius. With over 30 years of experience his expert advice, sound judgment and high integrity prove his worth. I'm grateful for his knowledge and professionalism. He will only do something if it is done right. His work ethic and commitment to quality are rare in South Florida and especially the Investigative industry. In my opinion he is the best Private Investigator in South Florida if not the entire State. He's that good. I highly recommend him and trust him completely to handle any situation. Thank you, John for being a man of high honor, kindness and morality. If you need the services of a real Private Investigator choose John at Compass Investigations.
Ana - Thank you for your kind words. For 38 years now, I always try to meet or exceed all of my clients expectations.
Fantastic experience: Super fast, professional, and friendly customer care
Thank you for your positive review. We are always here if you need us.
Negative experience: Compass and its owner John VanSteenkiste strung my law office along for weeks about 4-6 jobs that they ultimately just never did (some were simple skip traces, others service of process, and constructive service). I worked with their predecessor for years prior to Compass taking over, and it has been a disaster ever since. Usually when the owner calls you personally to insist that you will get updates within a week, you get some response. Not with these guys. Totally incompetent. Stay far away.
Negative experience: I engaged Compass Investigations to do a search for a tenant who skipped town. I had excellent communications with their offices, but they did not provide the requested services within the time frame promised. Communication after payment was not optimal. I was able to obtain a full refund through my credit card.
Fantastic experience: Flat out awesome
Thank you for the positive review. We are always here for you.
