Jacques Houssou and the entire Due Diligence team provided us with a lot of expertise during a massive deal for us, given that we have been in business for more than a decade. We took comfort in the entire team’s expertise, but we valued Jacques’s deep understanding of Information Technology Management. Jacques knew many nuisances and brought a lot of value and comfort to us and sound advice. The team exhibited speed in helping us and a foundational understanding of what we needed during a stressful time. Everybody’s responsiveness was incredible to meet essential deadlines and answer questions.

Massimo Reboa
Esq. Reboa Law Firm.
As a construction and surety attorney, it is essential for me to work with investigative professionals who operate with precision and discretion. I retained AF1 Protective Agency and their Due Diligence Specialist division to locate a critical individual involved in a complex dispute. Their team delivered actionable results swiftly, using legally compliant methods that upheld evidentiary standards. I was impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, and accuracy. I would not hesitate to retain them again or recommend their services to other legal professionals

Jonathan P. Cohen, P.A.
I engaged AF1 Protective Agency’s Due Diligence Specialist division to support a complex post-sale dispute involving undisclosed financial gains. The sellers had withheld critical asset disclosures during the business transaction, and my client needed to assess recovery options. AF1’s investigative team conducted a comprehensive asset search that uncovered material financial activity benefiting the new ownership, activity that had been intentionally concealed. Their findings were timely, thorough, and court-ready, which gave my client critical leverage during litigation. I trust AF1 and recommend them for any attorney needing discreet, high-impact financial investigation.
Michelle Karinne Notte
Esq., Florida Entrepreneur Law
Following the signing of a Letter of Intent by our buyer, we engaged AF1 Protective Agency’s Due Diligence Specialist division to perform a full-scale investigative review prior to closing on the acquisition of a manufacturing facility. Their team led a multidimensional due diligence operation covering legal standing, financial health, regulatory compliance, operational risk, and executive background checks on the CEO, CFO, and CTO of the target company. They also assessed the regulatory landscape related to the planned conversion of the facility from a bottling operation to a gummy supplement manufacturer. Their thorough reporting and investigative insights were invaluable in guiding our client’s negotiation and risk analysis. AF1 has become our go-to resource for all acquisition-related due diligence.
Carlos Mejia
Mejia & Associates/Business Broker
When one of my longstanding clients was unexpectedly denied re-entry into the U.S. despite prior visa approvals, I turned to AF1 Protective Agency’s Due Diligence Specialist division for a comprehensive background investigation. Their team conducted a multi-jurisdictional criminal records search, covering the client’s country of origin, INTERPOL alerts, and U.S. domestic databases. Their findings conclusively established that the client had no prior or current criminal record, which helped support our immigration appeal. The professionalism, discretion, and speed with which AF1 handled this sensitive matter were outstanding. Their work was pivotal to advancing our client’s legal standing.

We engaged AF1 Protective Agency’s Due Diligence Specialist division to conduct a comprehensive background investigation on a candidate for an associate attorney position.

The report was detailed, well-organized, and delivered promptly, which helped inform our hiring decision with confidence. In a field where reputational risk is everything, AF1’s discretion and thoroughness were deeply appreciated.
