About Rick

I’m Rick Topping. And I’m confident enough to say I’m one of California’s top private investigators.

When you hire Topping Investigations, you’re hiring me.

You’re not hiring some wet-behind-the-ears kid in his second week on the job. You’re not hiring some anonymous guy in a cubicle who’s a little slow right now. You’re not hiring some part-time Bozo who sells real estate on the side to pay the bills.

You’re hiring me.

I’ve been at this game for a long time. More than 30 years. Ever since I got out of college. I’ve done every kind of private investigation work there is – fraud investigation, surveillance, background checks, etc.

But what I love most is finding missing persons. I know how to find lost loves, missing witnesses, parents and children lost through adoption. You name it, I’ve found ‘em.

My clients? They range from a little old lady looking for the child she gave up for adoption 60 years ago to huge law firms, corporations and insurance companies involved in billion dollar court cases.

I know that you’re unique. And your case is unique. I work hard to understand exactly what it is you need and even harder to solve your problem. Take it from me, there are no cookie cutter solutions at Rick Topping investigations.

Fact is, I’ll do anything legal to solve your case. And I don’t mind bumping right up against the edge of the definition of legal if it gets the job done.
