Blackmail/Extortion
PA Associates International took on a very complicated and sensitive case, involving parties in different countries. They immediately took control of the situation and displayed enormous resourcefulness and determination throughout the entire process, often successfully working through very stressful situations and uncovering unexpected facts or motives. In addition to the utmost professionalism, they displayed a deep understanding of all the parties involved. This unique combination of dogged professionalism and human awareness led to a best case solution - something that seemed a very unlikely prospect at the outset. I give PA Associates International the highest recommendation.

This is in response to your request for a professional reference for Mr. Philip Arthur regarding a pending representation of a client. I have known Mr. Arthur for over 15 years and have worked with him on numerous cases, both where our firm has retained him or where he has requested our assistance. These cases involved complex, often sensitive commercial litigation for law firms in the United States, UK, and elsewhere. In some instances, these matters involved missing persons or persons that absented themselves for political or ideological reasons, one of which resulted in the ultimate discovery of the absented person who sought asylum in the United States. Mr. Arthur always provides timely, professional, and comprehensive reports reflecting his findings. While there is never any guarantee of a result, Mr. Arthur has enormous resources and networking capabilities and is both patient and persistent. The result is that at a minimum counsel will have more information than what was first known, even if that means one does not immediately locate the target. Searches done by Mr. Arthur include computerized online database investigation, as well as human intelligence and while missing person cases often times take a long time, it is a process of following the dots, and then connecting them. Therefore, it is important to urge the client to be patient, provide him as much information as possible about the missing person, as the more they invest in providing data, the better the return on that investment.

By way of background, I am a former client of P. A. Associates International, based in Singapore who needed some expert investigative services performed on a member of my family in Hong Kong. As I am sure you can imagine, seeking an appropriate PI firm from another country without meeting them face to face is not the easiest thing to do. You often wonder to yourself whether or not you have made the 'right' decision. In order to determine the right PI firm for me, I carried out some research by speaking to multiple firms in Hong Kong and P.A. Associates stood out to me as being the only firm who had a sense of responsibility to their work and an overall genuine concern for their client's needs. The other PI firms were too interested in cost/pricing that they neglected to recognize their client's needs. From this, I engaged and hired PA Associates. I had never used a PI firm before and was apprehensive at first as I wasn't entirely sure what the correct procedure/protocol was (Its not every day you use P.I. services) but Philip and his team guided me throughout the entire investigative process, giving concise detailed accounts on the actions they proposed to take and most importantly, frequent updates on the progress they were making which assured me that work was being done in its entirety. Low and behold, their hard work and tenacious attitude lead to a very successful result. I was extremely happy with the service they carried out as they gave me a swift closure to a very difficult situation - to which I am most grateful for. I hope this reference gives you a glimpse of the experience I have encountered with P. A. Associates and wish you the same success as I had. Should you have any further questions, I would be happy to help - please feel free to contact me.

I recently sought Philip's help with an investigation. Philip was most helpful indeed. He helped me liaise with other PIs in other countries to solve my investigation. I really would not have been able to get the information I needed without his valuable help. Philip was always on top of things and whenever I needed to consult him on something, he was always there to support and advise. His efficiency, skill and expertise in the investigation field by far outweighs other PI firms. I have talked to other PIs and I can truly say that besides being very professional, Philip also cares. Philip puts his heart and passion into the projects he undertakes - and this is something that really makes a big difference. I highly recommend Philip and his team. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Towards the end of 2007, I engaged the services of P. A. Associates International, Hong Kong, and within a matter of days they had accomplished everything I needed. I am grateful to Philip and his team for the hard work and sensitivity in which they conducted the case both here, in Hong Kong, and abroad. I would recommend any spouse having matrimonial difficulties to consider P. A. Associates as their first choice of investigators for any surveillance work and background information on any third party involved in any infidelity within a marriage.

Dear Phillip,
I thought I would drop you a quick line to let you know that my client in the above matter was extremely happy with the service that your company provided whilst undergoing surveillance in Hong Kong. She has asked me to let you know, and I concur one hundred percent, that to take such a case at very short notice, prepare the logistics and analyze the situation within one or two hours and then have a team in place to carry out the necessary surveillance was quite remarkable. As a Private Investigation Agency who has been in business for over 27 years we have operated all over the world and it is very unusual to find another agency which can react to a given situation at such a short period of notice. The information produced was exactly what my client had hoped for, all though you were not able to catch them "at it" it proved that the lady in question was in location beyond any doubt and this was the proof needed to satisfy the "reasonable doubt" criteria to proving infidelity for the subsequent divorce proceedings which are now being pursued through the courts here in England. I have no hesitation in stating that when (not if) we get further instructions for Hong Kong we will definitely be in contact with you again.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best Regards

I engaged Philip's services, early in 2008, with very little information on a missing person in Hong Kong. Not only was he able to find the full name, personal details of the subject and the target's location, but the fact that the subject had been arrested and detained at a correctional services, female detention centre in Hong Kong - all within 48hrs!

Philip & his team helped me locate my ex-wife after 12 years of separation.
All I had was her name and her old address in Hong Kong. But after some in depth background searches, they found her in China.
Thanks guys, I hope you can also help others who are also in need.

Philip has helped me in resolving different cases for nearly eight years now. I have never met an investigator who is quite diligent with his work and who puts his heart and soul into bringing the best possible results to his client. His dedication and passion to his work is excellent and is quite commendable. These are the main reasons on why I always seek his firm's help because of these extraordinary qualities which other firms don't deliver to their clients.
His amazing ideas and professionalism on resolving cases never ceases to amaze me. I have no hesitation whatsoever to recommend such an honorable investigative firm of whose good works I can vouch for.

I sought the help of PA Associates in 2012 with regard to a delicate situation involving an immediate family member. I had actually contacted quite a few private detective agencies in Hong Kong: some of them did not answer their phone, several did not respond to my e-mails and one even advised me to think about the situation before engaging them! Being an expatriate in Hong Kong, it was also not easy to find an agency with a contact person with whom I could communicate in English, so I really appreciated being able to discuss in detail my case with PA Associates. Philip understood my predicament and his team was able to provide me and my family with the results we wanted in a very efficient and professional manner. They always listened to what I had to say and tailored their services according to my needs. I highly recommend them.

I have known Mr. Philip Arthur and his family for the past several years. I have known him as his pastor and as a friend. I know him as a person of integrity and high intelligence. He has spoken to me sometimes of cases he has pursued, and I have always been impressed by his resourcefulness, intuitiveness, and ability to get the job done. I would think you would have a very fine partner or asset in his services.
Sincerely,
