We recently had a situation with a thieving moving company out of Pittsburgh that reportedly had a few of our items in NJ. In the middle of the night I woke up after 3 months of nearly 0 communication and decided I needed a set of eyes to confirm if my things were in fact, still around or if I had to move on and forget all my family heirlooms. I contacted Bob and advised him of the situation. Before collecting any money he did a preliminary poke around which allowed me to do a bit more groundwork on my end to find the apparent "new" location of my goods. I paid the fee (which I could not afford

I needed to prove my ex was co-habitating to stop my alimony. On the very first day Bob was on the case, he got so much footage that even he was excited! After submitting his report of over 600 pages to my attorney, she said she'd never had such thorough details. It was a slam dunk! Bob is the best! I highly recommend him for any P.I. needs.

Liz and Bob, thank you so much for everything you've done for me. For years I've tried getting information on a certain person in the family and it was just impossible. You went above and beyond and got me all the info I needed. I would definitely give you 10 stars but unfortunately there's only five to give . Once again thank you for everything you've done for me and my family.

I approached Cowan Investigations from out of state with a delicate situation that needed to be handled in NJ and Liz made me feel at ease and in good hands immediately! Both Liz and Bob reviewed my case and got back to be the same day with a great price and additional suggestions to make sure I was satisfied with the planning they had come up with. It was important to me for all parties involved in my case to feel comfortable and Liz and Bob definitely fit the bill! They took the time to gather all the information needed and completely exceeded my expectations. I originally chose to call Cowan

Bob is an honest and ethical professional who shows empathy towards people in unfortunate situations.
Bob’s objective analysis and evaluation of an issue enables him to address the true problem at hand.
His strong analytical abilities coupled with thorough research and attention to detail make him an ideal private investigator.
I know his clients will receive a comprehensive detailed report that will stand up in any hearing or court of law.

If you find yourself in need of a PI, I can assure you that retaining Cowan Investigations is 100% the right choice. Bob and his wife Liz worked tirelessly to assist me with a very challenging situation and ultimately were able to exceed my highest expectations in terms of obtaining evidence. I truly cannot thank them enough for the level of care and professionalism they brought to my case.

I would highly recommend Cowan Investigations. From the time you speak to Liz on the phone until the time Bob is finished with the investigation you will always know what is going on, what is taking place, and what they found. You will be provided with detailed information and surveillance. Bob is very well trained in this field and will provide you with outstanding work. Both Bob and Liz are very compassionate and caring people and make you feel comfortable through the whole process. At the end of the investigation you’ll know that you have hired the right people for the job.

I have been married for over 25 years, 2 years ago things just started not feeling right, I started having suspicions that my husband was cheating. I felt trapped, I was embarrassed to talk about it with anyone. I put up with feeling this way for two years.
I began researching private investigators because I was fed up with being lied to and deceived, talked to like I was crazy. I called a few investigators but I did not feel comfortable, I felt like I was talking to used car salesmen. Just before I was going to give up I called Cowan Investigations. From the minute I began speaking to Liz Cowan
