Licensed California Private Investigator #25607
From the boardrooms of Silicon Valley to the production studios of Los Angeles, Tony Vain Investigations provides elite surveillance and risk management solutions. We are the agency of choice for top-tier law firms, tech corporations, and high-net-worth individuals who require absolute discretion and court-admissible evidence.
While many agencies rely on gig-economy subcontractors, we operate with a dedicated team of experts trained in corporate counter-espionage, high-stakes infidelity surveillance, and complex litigation support. Whether you need boots on the ground in San Jose or a background investigation in San Diego, we deliver intelligence you can trust.
In the heart of Silicon Valley, protecting intellectual property is critical. We specialize in TSCM (Bug Sweeps), investigating trade secret theft, and enforcing non-compete agreements. We help tech companies and startups identify internal leaks and secure their proprietary data.
We provide the sophisticated surveillance required for high-net-worth family matters in California. From proving cohabitation in alimony disputes to documenting infidelity in complex divorce cases, our evidence is gathered with strict adherence to California’s privacy laws.
We act as the fact-finding arm for California law firms. Our services include locating difficult witnesses, conducting deep-dive background investigations on opposing parties, and gathering video evidence for personal injury defense and civil liability cases.
We assist insurance carriers across the state in combating fraud. Our field agents in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego verify claimants’ activity levels and investigate workers’ compensation fraud and questionable injury claims with precision.

Is it legal to hire a private investigator in California? Yes. However, California has strict privacy laws regarding surveillance and data access. As a fully licensed agency (License #25607), we operate in strict compliance with all state and federal laws. This ensures that the evidence we gather is obtained legally and cannot be thrown out in court.
Will the evidence be admissible in court? Absolutely. When evidence is gathered legally and documented with a proper chain of custody, it is a powerful tool for negotiation or trial. We specialize in creating court-ready reports that attorneys rely on for family law, civil litigation, and corporate disputes.
How much does a private investigator cost? Every case is unique. Costs depend on the complexity of the investigation, the number of field agents required, and the duration of surveillance. We provide transparent, upfront estimates during your initial consultation so there are no surprises.
