McDonald & Associates: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Brian was very thorough and timely in my request to locate my missing son. He was able to locate my son within a few weeks even though he was across the country! Brian went the extra mile and personally made the trip to save time and money which brought a very worried mom some comfort and reassurance of my sons safety. I would highly recommend McDonald & Associates for any kind of investigative work as they were very responsive to my request, stayed within my budget and got results very quickly.
Thank you very much for the kind words Vicky. I'm glad everything worked out so well. Good luck in the future!
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal experience working with this firm on a complex issue. The investigators were thorough and easily adaptable to shifting requests and priorities. Brian, especially, went out of his way to ensure the best possible service and even helped craft a backup plan in case our course of action was interrupted. Would recommend them to colleagues in the field and cannot wait to use them again.
Thank you for the positive review and opportunity! It is truly our pleasure and goal to to meet or exceed your investigative needs.
Fantastic experience: Great company, great communication. I have nothing but good things to say. Thank you very much for your services!!!
Thank you for the kind words Brett. Good luck with your case.
Negative experience: We hired McDonald and Associates to help us locate family. We provided the information and were told we would get results back in two weeks. Three weeks later we received a "report." The report were results from basic searches most people can conduct on the internet. They mentioned a family name and said it may or may not be a relative. Nobody from the firm attempted to confirm the information. We ended paying a lot of money for little to no investigative work, just data from a records check and standard court filings. When we made contact to negotiate a better resolution, we received no response. Rebuttal to Response from owner: First and foremost I would strongly suggest you edit your formal response and exclude the facts you referenced about my specific investigation. Mentioning investigation specifics in such a public forum brings to question your professionalism, integrity and ethics. It also violates section 8 of the signed agreement. This public forum was utilized when you stopped responding when I sent correspondence asking for a negotiated settlement based on the questionable number of hours for the investigation. Utilizing an entire bank of pre-paid hours, to tell us nothing could be found, was questionable. I am hoping this public forum can be used by others when determining which business/company they choose to have a business relationship. I do hope others have a better experience with your company. I am not pleased.
Thank you for your feedback and we fully understand your frustration. By definition, investigations are always a bit of an unknown at the beginning and sometimes the results can even surprise ourselves. There is no magic to what we do. We simply scour and pour through the available information and resources to learn what is available and report that back to our clients. We have been doing this for over 30 years and while the tools and technology have changed a great deal, our commitment to finding answers through hard work and an attention to detail has never wavered and we have a long and distinguished client list that will attest to that. Again, I’m sorry that not all of your questions were answered fully but to characterize our work as something achievable via any normal search engine is just simply not an accurate or fair representation. The residential history for the individual in question contained multiple states and each county was researched within all four court levels. This is a labor intensive process and certainly not information available through simple internet searches. To individually contact each potential family member identified through our work is something we could discuss but is well outside the signed agreement and scope of the assignment. With regards to the time frame, you were updated midway through the process when we explained that the delay was due, in large part, to having to wait for documents to be mailed from across the country. You also assert that when you contacted us to express your frustrations that you received no response when in reality you received a response to your email from Saturday, May 18th on Tuesday, May 21st. We would certainly welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns privately but would appreciate the feedback, either positive or negative, at least be factually accurate and fair in a public forum such as this.
Fantastic experience: Professional, responsive, and effective.
Always happy to help our customers!

Positive experience: Whenever I send a request to McDonald & Associates, I always get an immediate response and thank you for our business. Their investigations are thorough and their reports are well written and precise in the details. We have had other investigators who got "caught", not so with McDonald & Associates. They are very cordial and pleasant to deal with and strive to do the best job we need them to do.
