As a man of many words, it is extremely unusual to find myself searching for the perfect way to express my appreciation.
“Where do I begin?’ were the first words that came to mind when I thought about writing this testimonial. Ironically, the words “where do I begin” were most likely the words April Davis thought when I first approached her to help me find information about my father. Equipped with only his name, an address from 1966 and a few unproven, thought-to-be facts, I asked April to help me find detail about my father’s passing in the 1970’s.
What I wanted from the investigation was simple. What I offered to help April begin was nearly nothing and dated well before records were kept electronically. An almost impossible task. What I received as a result of April’s skill, natural given inquisitiveness and dedication was much more than I could have ever imagined.
As a result of April’s regular and detailed updates to me of her progress, I know she faced several obstacles and dead ends in my case. Facing each obstacle, she seemed even more determined to help me. I am certain that the difficulties of my case would have caused most other investigators to fail or give up.
At one point during the case, April spent several uncomfortable hours searching through microfiche in the basement of a county records building with no windows and air filled with paper dust. This is just one example of April’s commitment to a case. Not only do I have a wealth of information about my father which was the extent of my initial request, April’s determination discovered that I have two brothers I never knew existed. I may have never come to know about my brothers if not for the good fortune of having hired April to be my private investigator.
As I write this, I am sitting on a plane. I am on my way to meet my younger brother. The feeling is surreal and I have April to thank for the opportunity. April is a classic example of a person using their natural talent as a career. Apart from possessing innate abilities to investigate, she does her work with sensitivity and compassion.
I could go on and on, but I think I have made my point. I highly recommend April Davis, an endorsement I reserve for very few.
Thank you April. Your hard work and desire to serve lead to my being given a gift. At 45 years old, I have the chance to know my brothers. A chance I may have never had if not for you.
Forever grateful,
Stephen
