We could not have achieved matters without your exceptional work. Well done and thank you.

Managing Partner, Auckland Law Firm

We have engaged Mike Gillam and The Investigators on numerous matters. We have found them to provide a professional service with quick responses, great follow-through and prompt results. Highly recommended.

Steve Haszard, Managing Partner, Meredith Connell

Danny is professional and highly skilled. Most importantly he always has the client's bests interest at heart.

Chen Jiang, Senior Associate Glaister Ennor

I worked with Danny over the course of several months on a significant internal fraud investigation. Danny at all times acted professionally. His team handled the matter confidentially and with utmost care. Danny was clearly an expert in investigating sensitive issues and the comprehensive reports he provided were very useful in advising corporate management regarding the investigation. I would highly recommend Danny for corporate fraud investigation and compliance matters. I plan to use him again in the future should the need arise.

Kristy Parker, Senior Attorney & General Counsel

Mike Gillam recently assisted me in preparing the defence case and marshalling witnesses in a murder trial. His level of service, professionalism and attention to detail was second to none.

Mina Wharepouri, District Court Judge, former Barrister of the High Court of New Zealand

Danny is precise, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I hope to have an opportunity to engage him again.

Daniel Mooney, MWS Rose Attorneys, Partner

Mike and the team at The Investigators was exactly what I needed. When my employee defrauded me, I had no idea how to handle the situation. I didn’t know the legal requirements or how to get my money back. I didn’t even know if it would be possible to get my money back at all.

I was referred to The Investigators through my accountant and as soon as they took over, the case went into autopilot. All I needed to do was follow their instructions, listen to their advice, provide information and they sorted literally everything else. Now, I’ve had virtually all of my funds recovered (7 digits), and it was as smooth as I could have wished it to be.

Great communication, speedy, effective, professional, reliable. If any of my associates found themselves in the unfortunate situation I found myself in, I would have no hesitation in recommending The Investigators.

Justin Sung, MD, Charity Organisation

If ever you need to find someone in a hurry in New Zealand, contact Mike Gillam and his team. You cannot ask for a more professional and effective investigation team. They found a fugitive from justice who had evaded authorities from multiple countries over many years within a week. The speed with which he was tracked down despite a fake identity and changed appearance was amazing. The information was instrumental in leading to his capture and extradition. Thank you Mike.

Rauf Yousaf, Medical Doctor

Daniel assisted us in the execution of a High Court search order. Daniel's careful preparation, command and control and utilisation of Police contacts meant the execution of the order was successful despite the subject parties' attempts to obstruct execution. I highly recommend Daniel and his Team for all aspects of an investigation, including the high pressure stakes of property preservation.

I worked with Daniel. I found Daniel to be a very thorough and meticulous investigator.

He was very effective at locating leads early in an investigation and pursuing those leads sometimes internationally until he had a successful result.
