I recently used Lederhaus Investigations for a highly sensitive and high profile job that required the utmost discretion. Now that the investigations are done I can speak on behalf of this company we used and they were the most professional, thorough, and qualified people we have ever worked with. If you as a company or individual have a sensitive matter that requires the use of private investigators in the SC region then I would highly recommend seeking out this company as they are worth every dollar spent. As that is an investment well worth it.
