Customer Testimonials

"Exceptionally creative and resourceful, Palma & Palma Investigations is by far one of the best private investigation firms in the Bay Area. If there is a witness that needs to be found or any information about a witness that needs to be uncovered, no one does it as professionally and as diligently as Sylvia Palma (licensee). I highly recommend her investigation services to those in need of high caliber and efficient investigation in complex matters."

"I was looking for gang expert information. Sylvia provided me with exemplars of her work, demonstrating her attention to detail and her extraordinary writing ability. Sylvia organizes her interview material and presents it in a concise and well thought out manner and writes clearly, with no distracting errors. It is clear from her writing that she has extracted the needed, relevant information and she presents it in the most useful and compelling fashion. Sylvia also provided me with information for several experts in the field. I would not hesitate to work with Sylvia on anything and would especially be interested in her work with difficult witnesses. I look forward to the opportunity to partner with her in the future."

"I have worked with Sylvia Palma on several large and difficult cases. I have come to expect the highest quality of investigation, both in analyzing the case and in obtaining statements from reluctant witnesses. Sylvia understands defenses and mitigation. While I have grown to expect work product of a high quality from Sylvia, it seems she always surprises me by coming in with something just that much better than I expected."

"We feel very thankful that Ms. Palma was involved in our case, which we believe led to a positive outcome. From the time we met with her, she always presented herself in a professional, and caring manner. She was extremely compassionate regarding our situation. She offered support and guidance that helped us get through this very troublesome time. She was always available to speak to and helped us to feel completely comfortable in her presence. In addition to that, her investigation was complete and thorough, and she was very skillful in getting at the truth of the matter. We believe she went over and above what someone else might have done."

"Investigator Sylvia Palma is one of the best in the business. In our latest case, Sylvia's tireless work tracking down witnesses, getting statements, and making sure our client had the best chance at trial was monumental in achieving the just result for our client. Our client would not have had the result he did without Sylvia's hard work!"

- Jeffrey B. Jackson, Esq.

"I have never worked with Sylvia Palma before. I asked that she talk to witnesses to determine what they had observed. Sylvia did that, but also asked them for their impressions of the participants, which turned out to be more helpful than their observations. Her initiative has greatly changed the complexion of this case for the better."
