About Fleeman Investigations
Fleeman Investigations Group has over 50 years of law enforcement experience specializing in criminal and civil investigations. Our Group has worked in numerous law enforcement assignments and has held ranks ranging from Deputy Sheriff to Chief Deputy. This gives our clients peace of mind because they know we have the knowledge to review and interpret investigative reports, both criminal and administrative, which is uncommon with standard private investigation companies.
Why should you use Fleeman Investigations? Based on our vast experience we understand the criminal justice system. We also understand that law enforcement agencies throughout the State of California are understaffed and often rush investigations based on the crime trends occurring in California. We will review your case immediately once the report is provided rather than waiting months, which is common practice with attorney private investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions
You should speak with a private investigator at the inception of your case. While private investigators are not attorneys, our Group has vast experience in criminal and civil investigations. Based on your report and the information you provide; we will be able to give you a realistic assessment of what you may be facing. It will also give us an opportunity to collect and recover evidence the arresting agency left behind or failed to collect.
Unfortunately, waiting for an attorney to review your case can compromise your case and may lead to evidence being lost, destroyed, or deleted. This is critical when the evidence could result in your case being dismissed.The short answer is no. Many private investigators have law enforcement experience while others have none. It is important to find an investigator that has experience geared to your specific case or needs. Just like attorneys, not all specialize in the criminal field. So, it is important to make sure you hire a private investigator with experience to handle your case.
At Fleeman Investigations, our investigators are former law enforcement professionals with skill sets that support our client’s needs. All investigations are treated as a priority. Evidence and reports will be prepared as if your investigation will be heard in a courtroom. This gives our clients peace of mind to know they hired private investigators who can confidently testify in court about their case.No, you are not required to work with your attorney’s private investigator. In fact, it will cost you more money if you do. However, you need to discuss this with your attorney especially if you feel the investigator is not qualified or has done something that you may believe is/was illegal or unethical.
Keep in mind that there may be a specific reason the attorney has selected this specific investigator for your case. Ultimately, the decision is yours as the client. Lastly, if you do not feel comfortable following your attorney’s advice, we would recommend you consult with another attorney. Just like private investigators, not all attorneys are created equal.

Mistakes When Hiring a P.I.s
- Often time attorneys hire investigators inside their firm. Unfortunately, most of them have not passed the State of California required private investigator tests and they are simply working under the umbrella of the attorneys’ license.
Attorneys, like law enforcement officers, are often busy and they rarely have enough time to review their caseload until it goes to court. This leaves a client at a disadvantage and allows for critical information to be missed or lost completely.
Some attorneys and their clients are often worry bringing in an investigator early can lead to higher costs. In many cases, the opposite is true because we can gather some information directly from the client. Lastly, an early start to the legal investigation may unearth facts that will lead to an early settlement, dismissal or plea; saving money and time for all parties involved.
