Testimonials

“I was contacted by a client who thought they were a victim of theft in Ohio. I was assigned the case and immediately went to the Intellenet member list. I located the name Jim Silvania of Silvania Investigation. I knew that most if not all of our members are phenomenal but didn’t realize how lucky I was getting Jim involved….

“Silvania Investigative Services is one of the most professional organizations I have ever had the pleasure of associating with in my 30+ year career. Always at the ready and their resources have assisted my team in recovering stolen semi-trucks, trailers and cargo -literally around the country. I strongly recommend these folks -because one call to SIS … and your problems seem to just go away. They are GREAT!! …”
