Gambino Information Services

What Gambino Information Services does

Gambino Information Services, Inc. is a licensed private investigation firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Flushing, New York. It holds state-issued private investigator licenses in New York State (#11000081538) and New Jersey (#8294) and operates with 11-50 employees under founder-owner Michele Gambino. The firm delivers a portfolio of investigative services organized into four core lines: Asset & Employment Investigations, Background Investigations, Surveillance Investigations, and Landlord/Tenant Investigations, with sub-services spanning individual and corporate asset searches, bankruptcy and lien checks, motor vehicle and property verification, infidelity and child support surveillance, abuse investigations, and tenant screening for rent-controlled properties.

The underlying operating model is human-driven and traditional rather than technology-platform-based. Work is performed by trained and supervised licensed investigators using video/photo surveillance, public and private record lookups, telephone interviews, and on-site inquiries. The website (4privateinvestigators.com) is a Squarespace-hosted marketing and lead-capture site secured with Cloudflare; no proprietary software product, API, or AI tooling is disclosed, and the firm does not maintain app store or GitHub presence.

Commercial operations are sales-led and primarily direct: clients initiate engagement via phone, email, or web inquiry, sign a general or retainer agreement, and receive quote-based, case-tailored investigations billed under professional-services terms. The firm segments customers across private individuals (infidelity, missing persons, divorce), employers (background and misconduct), attorneys (due diligence, asset and witness locate), insurance companies (fraud and workers compensation surveillance), and landlords/property managers (tenant screening and illegal-sublet investigations). Lead sources are the company website, BBB-accredited profile, Google reviews, Bark.com listing, and peer referrals from other licensed investigators such as Mission Possible Investigations, LLC.

Direct peers

• Mission Possible Investigations, LLC: A licensed private investigation firm referenced explicitly in Gambino's testimonials as a collaborative peer. Operates in the same investigative services space (surveillance, background, asset work) and refers cases back and forth, making it the closest functional peer in size and scope.

Broad incumbents

• Kroll: Global investigations, due diligence, and risk consulting firm. Offers overlapping capabilities (asset searches, background investigations, FCRA-compliant reports) but at enterprise scale with a much broader service portfolio than a local boutique PI firm like Gambino.
• Pinkerton: Historic corporate investigations and security firm providing surveillance, fraud, and background services for corporate and legal clients. Comparable because it operates in the same investigative services category, though it is far larger and serves mostly enterprise and cross-border engagements.
• Control Risks: Global risk consultancy with a dedicated investigations practice covering due diligence, asset tracing, and integrity inquiries. Comparable due to overlap in investigative due diligence for legal and corporate clients, though delivered from an enterprise risk advisory frame.
• Nardello & Co. Boutique global investigations firm specializing in due diligence, asset tracing, and litigation support. Directly comparable in service mix to Gambino, especially in legal/asset investigations, but operating at multi-jurisdictional scale.
• Guidepost Solutions: Investigations, security, and consulting firm with expertise in background checks, asset searches, and corporate due diligence. Overlaps with Gambino's legal-support investigations but serves larger enterprise and government engagements.
• FTI Consulting: Global advisory firm with a Forensic & Litigation Consulting segment providing investigative, asset tracing, and due diligence services. Comparable in the legal-support investigations category, though its primary buyer profile is corporate counsel and outside law firms rather than individuals.
