“I was referred to Ollie by a colleague of his.  He took my call and was able to go out and work my case within hours.  He handled a sensitive matter very delicately and professionally.  He fully accomplished my request, and I am extremely grateful for it. Thanks beyond words. (M.S., Connecticut) 

“I have used AVPE for investigation work in both the US and Asia for nearly 20 years and have always been very happy with their work. On the few occasions when they thought, for whatever reason, that they couldn’t do it or I was better going to somebody else, Oliver was very honest and said so. You cannot ask for more than that. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any investigation work. (P. Anthony Gallo, Esq., New York)

“Our firm has had the pleasure of working with Ollie at A Very Private Eye for the past several years. AVPE has assisted our company with employee background checks and locating beneficiaries for our estate and trust administrations. Ollie is always professional, responsive, and answers our questions quickly and thoroughly. His level of service is top-notch. We highly recommend him and the AVPE team!” (Winship Law, P.A., Orlando, FL)

 “I own and manage a law firm in the Orlando area, and my practice area gives rise to a regular need for background searches, skip traces, and surveillance work.  A Very Private Eye has been my go-to source for nearly a decade now, and in that time, they have never failed to be professional, diligent, responsive, and communicative.  They are the gold standard.” (Andrew W., Orlando, FL)

“I contacted AVPE to assist in a background check.  I had been corresponding with someone online and wanted to be sure that it was a genuine relationship.  AVPE uncovered some provisional information within the budget, indicating that the subject’s identity may not be as he alleged.  To my surprise, they forged ahead with additional research at no further cost to me.  This resulted in more information and potentially saved me much grief and expense.  I’m glad I contacted AVPE for help, and I will highly recommend them to all who might need their services.” (P.B. New Smyrna Beach, FL)

“I have come to know and respect Ollie over the past few years. He is sharp, witty, articulate, and a person of integrity. These, and other qualities that Ollie possesses, serve him well as a PI. For anyone seeking the services of a professional investigator, I would highly recommend that they consider Ollie Phipps and his company-A Very Private Eye.” (Pete D., Orlando, FL)

“As one of the first people I met when I joined the Orlando, Inc. (Chamber of Commerce) team, Oliver has proven himself invaluable – both in the performance of his job as an investigator and his ability to help others become more successful. His positive attitude, integrity, constant thirst for knowledge, and expertise in a broad range of subjects, make Oliver a business contact and friend that anyone is lucky to have.” (K Goins., Mesa, AZ)

“I wanted to share this note with you and your team regarding your recent operation.  You and your team’s persistence acquired evidence needed to reveal and defend against secret plans with another man to move my young kids away from their father.  Besides several other trips to visit him in remote parts of the nation, the subject returned to Orlando again, and you ultimately caught clear video evidence we needed.  These individuals have been engaged in adultery for over 9 months, including a weekend in Orlando while the kids and I were at my father’s funeral.  Your professional help delivered.  Please give my thanks and gratitude to your team for really bringing this home in the last critical hours.” (Father of 4 and 6 year old)

I researched and sought out a licensed, experienced, and highly professional security and investigation agency in Florida. I needed to rapidly obtain solid results to protect myself financially, to provide for my security, and to possibly prevent and protect a loved one from criminal activity. My quick but extensive research lead me to Ollie at AVPE.  I telephoned him in the afternoon, and he was out collecting evidence on my behalf that evening.  He was able to confirm the information I had and give me the peace of mind I needed.  AVPE did a great service to help me and saved my marriage! (D.A., Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, TX)

“Oliver is a consummate professional whose eye for detail is second to none in my opinion. He is sharp, ever willing to adapt to changes if circumstances demand it, and always quick off the block when situations warrant it. Always thinking out of the box, he was arguably one of the best I have had the pleasure of engaging in my career. Oliver loves what he does, and that is reflected in the quality of work produced and the years he has spent honing that set of skills. I have no hesitation in recommending Oliver to all who require his services.” (Cheow Wee, Lawyer, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

“Thank you again for the extraordinary work AVPE and your team did on the earlier case.  The way in which your team quickly adapted and started on the case was appreciated.  I was also totally impressed with your team’s knowledge of the area, fantastic appreciation of advanced surveillance techniques, and, most importantly, your ability to work with me and follow a subject off and on for two months without detection, over long distances and time.  Your professional work made my corporation look great.  That’s why I retained AVPE more recently to conduct extensive background, including tasks in south Florida.  I commend you for the performance of your in-house team and an extensive network of quality investigators throughout the state.” (Jeffery Brose, Corporate President, Brose, Lindsey & Associates Investigations, Inc.)

“I first met Ollie when we were both members of the Rotary Club of Orlando.  When I decided to start my Human Resources Consulting Practice, I never considered using anyone other than Ollie for pre-employment background checks for my clients.  Ollie is quick, thorough,  responsive,  focused on his clients, and is a delight to work with.  He is a great teacher and always takes the time to review reports if needed.  I wholeheartedly recommend Ollie and his staff.” (Pam Ison, President, Ison Consulting Group, LLC)   

“I approached Ollie at AVPE to provide covert video surveillance in a child custody case.  Within two days of my contacting AVPE, on the very first day of work, Ollie captured conclusive video evidence of the subject working (when the latter maintained in court that he was not employed).  This was important to the case and valuable to our legal team.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AVPE for anyone’s investigative needs!” (M.F., Winter Park, FL)

In 2017, I first commissioned AVPE, a fellow member of a national investigative association, to conduct financial research on a subject in which my law firm was interested.  This resulted in AVPE identifying the location of nearly $20,000 in assets.  Until June 2019, my firm hired AVPE to research financial assets in eight other cases.  Often this revealed unknown accounts and details which were valuable to our litigation.  My firm looks forward to doing additional business with AVPE! (Edward Michael Simon, Chief Investigator, Chuck Bretz & Associates, P.C. [metro Chicago], IL)

“Oliver and the team at AVPE are a benchmark for discretion & professionalism and have supreme competence in the field of private investigation. The investigator that was assigned to our [my] case was experienced and attentive to our [my] needs, and we [I] always knew we [I] could pick up the phone and get a hold of them or Oliver and his management team at all times. When EVERYTHING is on the line, things need to be done right the first time; AVPE needs to be your first call.” (Dennis L., President/C.E.O. of Night Auditors)

“Thank you very much for the very professional job and reports, and thanks for minimizing the expenses.” (TAV Investigations, New York City)

“I contacted AVPE to carry out surveillance to collect evidence in a post-divorce matter.  Ollie and his associates at AVPE worked effectively over many months and procured the necessary background information and videography.  As a result of AVPE’s and a local PI’s findings, the court upheld my motion to terminate alimony payments, which was the main purpose of the investigation.  I heartily recommend AVPE to a prospective client that needs assistance in a family law situation.” (T.R., Mobile, AL)

“I contacted AVPE to carry out surveillance to collect evidence in what was essentially a parental kidnapping case.  Over a long weekend, Ollie and his colleague worked tirelessly, around the clock, obtained the necessary information and photography, and liaised with my out-of-state attorney.  The police requested a sworn written statement from Ollie, and, as a result, a warrant was signed by a judge on a Sunday night.  A SWAT team of police executed the warrant, arrested the offending adult, and returned my child to me.  My son and I are grateful for the professional and dedicated support provided by Ollie and his team at AVPE!” (B.D., San Francisco, CA)
