Stop Loss

What Stop Loss does

Stop Loss, Inc. is a private investigation firm headquartered in the metro-Atlanta area of Georgia and operating under the legal name Stop Loss, Inc., owned and operated by two State of Georgia licensed private detectives — Michael A. Connell and Andrew J. Bone — who have held their licenses continuously since 1992. The firm specializes in rapid-response investigative services for accident and incident scenes, with the stated capability to secure public and private property video, canvas for witnesses, conduct interviews, and photograph scenes before evidence degrades.

The company's core product is hourly-fee investigative services priced at $150.00 per hour including travel time, billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. An add-on offering covers nationwide law enforcement evidence retrieval through Open Record/FOIA requests, facilitated by a technology partnership with RiskJockey.com, which consolidates submissions across all responding agencies into a single request. Underlying technology is minimal: customer acquisition runs through a Wufoo-powered online intake form, and the firm has no proprietary software platform, no disclosed patents or trademarks, and no AI/ML capabilities.

Stop Loss serves clients in accident, insurance, and legal cases — including workers' compensation matters — who require rapid on-site evidence preservation and witness identification. Distribution is regional in direct delivery (metro-Atlanta) but extends to nationwide coordination via partner assistance. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via the company website's online request form, with no intermediary channels, no enterprise sales motion, and no disclosed enterprise logos.
