The Investigator You Call When it Matters Most

When truth matters, experience isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Cottman Investigation Services, I bring over 30 years of investigative and psychological expertise to every case. As a former WA Police officer and qualified psychologist, I’ve worked at the intersection of criminal behavior, trauma, and justice. I don’t just collect evidence—I interpret it, anticipate patterns, and uncover what others miss. My clients trust me because I deliver clarity in the most complex, emotionally charged situations.

I’m not the cheapest. I’m not the loudest. I’m the one who gets results. What sets me apart is precision, discretion, and an intuitive understanding of human behavior. I specialize in cases that require more than surveillance—they demand insight. Whether it’s a missing person, a family dispute, or a sensitive legal matter, I approach each investigation with strategic focus and emotional intelligence. I don’t waste time. I don’t cut corners. I get it right.

You’re not just hiring a private investigator—you’re hiring someone who knows what’s at stake. I work directly with every client, ensuring confidentiality, professionalism, and a tailored approach that reflects the seriousness of your situation. “She didn’t just find the truth—she gave us peace of mind when no one else could.” If you’re ready to move beyond doubt and into action, I’m ready to lead the way—with integrity, clarity, and results that speak for themselves.
