About Us

At Peet & Associates, LLC, we specialize in corporate investigations, focusing on fraud.  We are not a firm that tries to meet the needs of all types of investigations as some agencies do. We believe in doing one thing, and doing it well. If your needs do not meet our specialization, we will be glad to refer you to those private investigation agencies that will.

We mainly service the Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia area, but are willing to take cases statewide. For cases in others states, please call us. All initial consultations are free of charge.
