We understand what it takes to provide continuous, high-quality investigative services to the defense bar and insurance industry.
Since our founding in 1946, Irving J. Stein and his brother Sam Stein established a reputation for reliable and ethical investigative services. In fact, many consider that we have set the standard for investigation quality in California.
In 2001, Stein Investigation Agency joined forces with DMA Claims Services, a national claims adjusting and administration company, expanding our resources.
Our investigative expertise allows us to quickly identify any "red flags" that help resolve the case within budget.
