What People Say About Us
I rely heavily on John Markley to investigate client's cases right out of
the box. John's long law enforcement experience, on the local, county, state
and federal level, on top of his street savvy and his ability to talk to
witnesses with courtesy and dignity, makes him invaluable to my success in
defending those accused of crimes.
Attorney Christopher T. Van Wagner, Madison, WI
I highly recommend Markley Investigations for service of process in Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Markley provides prompt and professional service and will work diligently to accomplish service on the designated person in even the most difficult circumstances.
Attorney Michael E. Grubb, Janesville, WI
Our firm uses Markley Investigations and we are thoroughly impressed with their diligence and professionalism. They provide outstanding service at a competitive price.
Attorney Donald P. Shriver, Rockford, IL
I have worked with and against John Markley for 19 years in my capacity as an attorney. I have been very impressed with John’s professionalism, expertise, work ethic, and intelligence as a detective with the Beloit Police Department and now as a private investigator. My firm utilizes Markley Investigations for service of process in both Illinois and Wisconsin. The real value of Markley Investigations, however, is their performance in investigating cases. I have hired Markley Investigations to work on cases from homicide to juvenile delinquency matters including armed robbery and drunk driving cases. We have asked Markley Investigations to obtain witness statements, make videos of crime scenes and even come up with potential defenses. We have been very pleased with the results of the services received and the speed of the investigations. I recommend that any attorney needing investigative services hire Markley Investigations.
Attorney Jeff Livingston, Beloit, WI & South Beloit, IL
As an attorney for 15 years with a very high-volume courtroom practice, it is important to me to have a process server who effectively gets the job done, and communicates with my office. I have used the services of several process serving companies, and Markley Investigations stands out, by far, as the most effective. In my experience, Markley Investigations has the highest percentage of completed service of documents on the first try, they often have the paperwork served weeks before the court date, and they are very responsive to our communications. Markley Investigations takes pride in their work, and this pride is shown through the product they produce. I highly recommend Markley Investigations!
Attorney Amy Silvestri, Rockford, IL
I’ve used John Markley as our firm’s primary investigator for the past three years. John’s investigations have been instrumental in both trial wins and negotiating wonderful settlements for our clients. He has my highest recommendation.
Attorney Tracy Wood, Madison, WI
I have known John Markley for over 30 years and taught with him for more than 25 years. His reputation as a no-nonsense investigator is well known in the police community. John’s personal integrity, work ethic, and user-friendly attitude combine to earn him my highest recommendation without reservation. If a friend or family member required services such as John Markley offers, he would be my hands down choice.”
Sam Lathrop, Retired Chief, Beloit Police Department, WI
I like to use Markley Investigations, Inc. for service of my legal documents for several reasons. First, they are very prompt with their services. Most of the time they obtain service within a few days. Second, they are very competent. They keep attempting service until they obtain service, and there is a flat fee charge. They do not charge for every attempt they make, which is extremely appealing for me as this keeps my costs down. Finally, they have contacts throughout the area and for out-of-the-area service, they make the arrangements to obtain a reliable person to serve the documents which saves me valuable time and effort. I would definitely recommend Markley Investigations, Inc.
Attorney Daniel R. Bartholf, Monroe, WI
In over 20 years at practice, my office has used a number of different private investigators. The team at Markley Investigations is stellar in comparison to the rest; they are prompt, dependable, ready to call if a question comes up and thoroughly responsive to the needs of my office. Having offices in Wisconsin and Illinois provides a greater breadth of both investigative knowledge and service. I would not hesitate recommending them to others - - in fact, I have!
Attorney James C. Thompson, Rockford, IL

Based on a 36 year professional association, I can easily say the words credibility, integrity and dependability are synonymous with John Markley.
Retired Chief Larry Schultz, South Beloit Police Department, IL & Retired Chief Deputy Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department IL
Throughout the time I have worked with John Markley and now Shawn, their work has always been prompt, efficient and accurate. On many occasions they have gone out of their way to help us handle extraordinary situations. If they are not able to handle a matter, they have always been able to help me find someone who can. I have worked with them for some time and will continue to do so.

Kim & Terry, Madison, WI
Markley Investigation worked a complicated assault case with my office. The tenacity John and Shawn showed in finding and interviewing witnesses was most effective, not to say impressive. Their investigative reports were thorough, timely and incisive. I knew they had done a great job when the DA complained that his witnesses found the Markley team hard to avoid.
Attorney Frank Medina, Madison, WI
The reasons our office uses the services of Markley Investigations is because they are prompt in response and thorough in their work. Their service is excellent.

Private Citizen, Beloit, WI
Markley Investigations did outstanding work. John was readily available to perform interviews, his record requests were thorough, and he was committed to doing the job well. I've worked with a number of different investigators, and none have been as professional, quick, and complete as John was. The investigative reports were detail-oriented, clear, and useful. I won't use anyone else in the future.
Attorney Jessa Nicholson, Madison, WI
Very impressed with your service!
