Private Investigators in Los Angeles, CA

Kay & Associates Investigations has served Los Angeles clients since 1992, handling cases that range from individuals working through a personal crisis to law firms and Fortune 500 companies requiring large-scale, in-depth investigations. As the premier detective agency in Los Angeles, we combine three decades of local knowledge with the discretion our clients depend on.

Local Knowledge Across Los Angeles

Los Angeles has dozens of neighborhoods, each with its own rhythm, and knowing that difference matters when a case is unfolding in real time. Our investigators have worked cases from Downtown LA to Hollywood, Silver Lake to Los Feliz, Koreatown to Mid-Wilshire, and everywhere in between. We understand traffic patterns, neighborhood layouts, and the kind of local detail that keeps an investigation moving quickly and quietly. Time is of the essence in this work. Every hour matters, and our clients choose us because we move fast without drawing attention.

Services We Provide in Los Angeles

Whether your matter involves a family law case moving through LA County Superior Court, a corporate matter requiring discreet fact-finding, or a personal situation that simply needs answers, our team tailors the approach to your specific case. With Kay and Associates Investigations, no two investigations are handled the same way.

We do not take walk-ins. All meetings are by appointment only, so your visit stays private from the moment you arrive. Once your appointment is scheduled, we’ll guide you on the fastest, easiest way to park nearby.

Licensed Since 1992

It’s important to verify the license of any private investigator you’re considering. Kay & Associates holds California PI License #15832 and has operated throughout Los Angeles County since 1992. The lower a license number, the longer that investigator has been operating under their own license. We do not borrow years of experience from employees, as some firms misleadingly advertise.

Los Angeles Skyline from above

Yes. We regularly conduct investigations throughout Los Angeles County and the greater Southern California region, with additional experience nationally and internationally when a case requires it.

Every case is different, depending on hours logged, mileage, and how the investigation develops. We recommend starting with a free consultation, where we’ll give you a ballpark estimate and keep you informed of costs at every step.

Confidentiality is central to how we operate. Our clients range from individuals to Fortune 500 companies and public figures, and all are held to the same standard of discretion.

Most cases can begin within days of your consultation, though timelines depend on the type of investigation and current caseload.

Andy Kay, founder of Kay and Associates Investigations.

As the premier detective agency in Los Angeles, Kay and Associates Investigations has their home office in Beverly Hills.

K&A works with law firms on large cases, as well as individuals who simply need help getting answers to a personal issue. We find ways to get our clients the information they need in creative and at times, unconvential ways.

When the police are too busy to help find your missing child or family memeber we can help. When local law enforcement does not prioritize your missing jewelry, we do.

We have “ins” with many top Beverly Hills hotels, restaurants, and bars/lounges. This means that our investigation will go much smoother and have a lot more success than private investigators that aren’t already integrated into the scene.

How May We Help You?

Time is of the essence, especially when it comes to investigations. Each moment, every day, determines the success of a case. Our clients chose us because we move quickly, quietly, and steadfast, ensuring their investigative needs are addressed with the utmost professionalism and expertise. 

The first step is to call us or email us, and to get your case started as soon as possible. Don’t waste another moment trying to find the right investigator for your case. We are the best, simply stated, and our decades of experience and stellar reputation reinforce this fact.
