Welcome to the site of AC DETECTIVES.
Whether you are in the legal profession, in business or simply a private citizen, sometimes your problems need help otherwise not easy to obtain. Whatever your concern, AC DETECTIVES offers a fast and reliable service to meet your own particular needs. As the longest-established firm of professional investigators in Bordeaux, our approach to the search and collection of information locally, nationally and internationally is well known.
Founded in 1985 by Alain ROUSSEAU, AC DETECTIVES complies with the law of 2003 governing the activities of French private investigators. AC DETECTIVES is approved by the Conseil National Supérieur Professionnel des Agents de Recherches Privées and respects fully the New French Code of Civil Procedure.
Accordingly, on completion of an assignment, each client receives at least a detailed report which can be used in Court or for any other legal purpose. This practice, with its objectivity and thereby all of the relevant facts and circumstantial evidence, has been consistently recognised by the French Supreme Court of Appeal as legally valid since 1962. Attached to each of our reports is also an inexhaustive list of references to jurisprudence.
