This is a first rate operation, and many of the people that work there are former colleagues. I have dealt with Forhad professionally for over twenty years and he has never let me down. The firm I was at used his team for a "red team" exercise which went extremely well. I have also had several instances where people have come to me with some very complicated investigative problems. I referred them to Intergras and they were extremely pleased with the results. Integras has a very deep bench, with international connectivity and the capacity to get things done.
