Report
My wife and I consulted with Portland Private investigator George Babnick about a sensitive situation involving family member. We hired him and got answers to our questions. The news we got wasn't what we wanted to hear but Mr Babnick was compassionate and understanding and professional. Mr George Babnick in a good man.
