Bond Investigations

What Bond Investigations does

Bond Investigations Inc. is a Phoenix, Arizona-based private investigations and surveillance firm founded in 2003 by Dorian Bond. The company delivers a broad portfolio of investigative services spanning infidelity, child custody, criminal defense, background, elder abuse, business, insurance, alimony, skip tracing, and locate investigations, executed by licensed investigators sourced from military, law enforcement, and risk management backgrounds. Operationally, the firm relies on licensed private investigators deployed across 28+ staffed regional offices covering all 50 U.S. states, equipped with GPS tracking, high-definition video capture systems, and proprietary databases for subject location and skip tracing work.

The business operates on a fee-for-service, professional services revenue model. Engagement pricing is established during a complimentary initial consultation and is structured as fixed-cost with no retainers, fuel charges, or hidden fees; published pricing tiers range from approximately $500 for basic surveillance to $7,500+ for comprehensive financial and asset searches, with custom quotes for testimony and legal support. Distribution is exclusively direct: phone-based outreach (main line (844) 266-3468), website inquiry forms, and the MyCase client portal, supplemented by SEO-optimized service and location landing pages, content marketing, and referral relationships with attorneys and insurance carriers. Customer segments span individual consumers (family law, missing persons), insurance carriers and adjusters, defense attorneys and law firms, and corporate clients requiring background checks and due diligence.

Bond Investigations holds state private investigator licenses in Arizona, Alabama, and Alaska, maintains BBB A+ accreditation, adheres to PBSA standards, and holds memberships in NALI, W.A.D., CII, and AALPI. The firm is privately held by founder Dorian Bond with no disclosed institutional capital, subsidiaries, or M&A activity, and operates without any disclosed AI/ML technology stack; core deliverables are produced by human investigators using surveillance equipment and proprietary data sources.
