              10/18/2021

              I hired Lyght Detective Agency to watch my husbands activities on dates from July 29 to July 31th. Three days of surveillance for $2,000. On the 29th *************** informed me the housecleaner came to my husband's work so I wanted to get video or pictures of when my husband left his work. **************** gave me a flashdrive with some pictures and video but none of when my husband left his work when the cleaning person was there. I inquired about my husband and his brother leaving work when the cleaning lady was there and ******************* response was, "he gave me all the video files they have." He also quoted "I didn't want to be seen so I kept out of sight for the most part since I couldn't see into the building." **************** verbally told me that my husband left his work 20 or so minutes after the cleaning lady arrived. I hired this agency to give me peace of mind and the one thing that could have done that was photos and video of when my husband left his work when the cleaning lady was there. He failed this assignment because he wanted to keep out of sight. It is his job to take photo and video not verbal tell me what my husband did, get it on tape. Would not hire this agency again! It has taken me some time to write this, was back and forth should I or shouldn't I leave a review. I decided to because I do not want another person in my shoes to go thru a poor PI agency. I needed photos or video with dates and times, at the time when something could of been happening, but that didn't happen. A lot of money, needed phots at the right time!!Also it took him 9 or 10 days to give me the flashdrive.This review is for Lyght Detective Agency, *************************, ********************************************
