Experience, objectivity, and clear reporting
The Rhodes Agency provides professional, independent investigative services to clients who need reliable fact gathering, careful documentation, and clear reporting.
More than two decades of public-safety and investigative experience
The agency is owned and operated by Eric T. Rhodes, a licensed California private investigator and retired law-enforcement professional with over twenty years of public-safety and investigative experience.
During his law-enforcement career, Eric developed extensive experience conducting investigations, interviewing witnesses, victims, and suspects, documenting evidence and scenes, investigating traffic collisions, preparing detailed investigative reports, and presenting investigative matters for administrative and judicial proceedings.
His collision-investigation background includes formal basic, intermediate, and advanced collision-investigation training as well as years of practical collision-investigation experience.
Since entering private practice, Eric has expanded his work to include workplace investigations, background investigations, field and scene investigations, witness interviews, litigation-related investigative support, and other professional fact-finding assignments.
Objective fact finding
The Rhodes Agency approaches each assignment with an emphasis on objectivity, professionalism, thorough documentation, and clear communication.
The purpose of an investigation is not to reach a predetermined conclusion. It is to gather the available facts, evaluate the information developed during the investigation, document the work performed, and provide the client with a clear and defensible account of the findings.
Assignments are accepted based on the needs of the matter and the agency's training, experience, and professional capabilities.
