Dan – Newburyport, MA
Right from the start, NESS was there to answer all of my calls personally and guide me through one of the toughest times of my life. They were able to obtain video evidence that ultimately leads to me being awarded custody of my children. I can’t recommend them highly enough”
Steven – Ipswich, MA
I spoke with Brian on the phone and explained what I was looking for. He laid out what he would do and how he’d get me a full background check. He even pointed out his coupon on Angie’s List so we could save some money! I paid through Angie’s List and he immediately sent me an email to confirm, and then he got to work. The next day, he gave me a full background report on the nanny, including a newspaper article he’d found on her family… He also (helpfully) pointed out that she’s currently driving an older model car, something we might want to consider if she might be driving our children around… something we wouldn’t have even thought to consider! Should the need arise, I’ll definitely contact Brian again!”
Timothy – Rockport, MA
I have worked with NE Surveillance twice and both times Brian was great to work with. He was prompt in getting back to me and was able to arrange surveillance within a few days’ notice. I would highly recommend NE Surveillance for any of your confidential needs.
Patty – Chelmsford, MA
It is a difficult step to take, contacting a PI to track your spouse, and I was anxious about it. Brian put me at ease right away, first on the initial phone consult and then when we met in person. He asked good questions, he listened, and he gave me good advice. He was up-front about the costs involved, and I found him to be very trustworthy. I had a difficult case because I couldn’t narrow down the time, so Brian had to track full-days and multiple days. He did excellent work, was very discrete, and provided the information that I sought, including pictures. I highly recommend Brian and New England Surveillance Specialists.
Diane – Cambridge, MA
Brian was quick to respond to my request. He provided efficient and effective service on locating the residence. Also, he gave me some ideas on handling this situation going forward. Brian was professional in handling this matter and returned my calls promptly. I would certainly recommend his services to other Angie’s members. Thank you.

Paula – Wellesley, MA
Brian was fantastic. He listened patiently to my story and asked pertinent questions. He ended up telling me I could do some of the work myself and told me how to go about it. He did not push to sell me something I may be able to do on my own. Brian gave me his overall opinion and good advice gratis. He’s a very nice trustworthy person.

Michael – Douglas, MA
I took a shot on NESS after finding them on the internet. I explained the circumstances. They asked questions concerning the case and then made recommendations on what they could do. They were very upfront on what to expect. They explained the cost and actually worked to keep the cost down by not doing unnecessary surveillance. While conducting surveillance they would contact me with questions and offer suggestions. Their expertise and recommendations are what made this a success. It was very reassuring to work with someone who is professional and knows the ins and outs of the business. You could tell that the agent was very experienced and has a lot of resources. I would highly recommend them.
Timothy – Rockport, MA
It went really well, within hours of requesting the background check with very little information to go on, I was provided verbal feedback on the person I was interested in. After a few days of searching, I was provided with a comprehensive report with lots of detail and valuable information.

Steve – Sudbury, MA
Great. Brian is very professional, but also understanding and empathetic. He jumped on my project… which was a relief since there was a bit of urgency. He communicated with me in a discreet manner. I would recommend him for any investigation project. I scored a B on price only because I didn’t shop around… but for us, it was worth every penny!
