Since 1981 the Argus Agency has been a leading provider of professional investigative services nationwide with principal offices located in Chicago, Dallas, and throughout California. They have been handling Loss Prevention, Insurance and Litigation Support responsibilities for some of the most respected corporations, insurance companies and law firms in the nation for over twenty years. Due to their continued growth in California and the neighboring states, the Argus Agency spun-off its western region operations giving rise to what is now Argus West, Inc. Under control of its then Operating Director Philip J. Premetz, Argus West was incorporated and began servicing the clients throughout California and the western region directly. A continuing partnership exists with its former corporate parent still headquartered in Chicago, so as to mutually enhance the capabilities of both companies. Cases are routinely referred between the offices to ensure the most appropriate cost effective resources are utilized for their clients throughout the country.

Argus West is a mid-size private investigative firm that can offer the experience, expertise and diversity of the national companies, along with the personal service, commitment and quality control, that the larger firms seem to neglect. They are able to adapt quickly to changing laws and industry standards, always on the cutting edge of technology and staff development. The consistent level of customer service and professional case management will ensure that your request is always handled promptly and in a manner consistent with your investigative approach and philosophy. Every client has direct contact with the Operations Manager and Client Relations person assigned to their account. Whether it is case strategy, updates, turnaround time or results, you will be impressed with their performance. Equally important is access to their administrative staff that can be reached Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for any request or assignment referral. Your call will never be met by a voicemail announcement or answering service during regular business hours. If the office staff is unable to assist you, the Operations Manager or Client Relations person will be contacted immediately via two-way to promptly return your call. All staff members are issued Nextel Communicators that can be linked to client networks for instant communication upon request.

Continuing to add value to their already diverse list of services, Argus West has created a virtual case management system entitled CaseSTATS. Utilizing this internet based product, registered clients of Argus West can view the assignments they have made via CaseSTATS including an updated case chronology, reports, video and billing, all of which is accessible via the internet 24 hours a day from any location. Cases in progress are updated several times throughout the day keeping you abreast of details in near real time. You are notified via email whenever an update is entered or a video, report or billing is posted for review. Interactivity allows you to provide direction or request further details while your assignment is still in progress. You can electronically transfer reports and videos to third parties such as attorneys and physicians from your desk.

You will find Argus West to truly be your one stop source for all of your investigative needs.
