“We began working with Steve when he retired from the FBI. Steve is extremely thorough and has great instincts as an investigator. He can manage very complicated financial cases but is also able to sit down with anyone and complete a comprehensive interview. In trial he is a valuable team member. He is simply an outstanding investigator. ”
— The Law Office of Thomas A. Johnson, Former Assistant United States Attorney
“My practice involves all forms of civil litigation which are typically high exposure cases in both the State and Federal Courts. Having known retired FBI agent Steve Dupre for well over 20 years, his excellent reputation is deserved and we trust him with our most sensitive matters. He is consistently professional, thorough, diligent and efficient when handling assignments. In fact, he has been able to locate evidence and find individuals where other top investigators have failed. Seldom have I been able to recommend someone’s services without reservation. It is a pleasure to do so with agent Dupre.”
— Peter J. Hirsig, Partner - McNamara, Ney, Beatty, Slattery, Borges & Ambacher LLP
“In 15 years as a Federal prosecutor I worked with many federal agents including FBI, DEA, Customs and IRS to name a few. I can say that Steve is one of the best, if not the best, I ever worked with. His background in accounting is a tremendous resource in white collar fraud cases. He is very detailed oriented, can crunch numbers, a tireless worker and a master at organizing complicated cases. He also has a gift with people and is very good managing witnesses and witness interviews. People trust Steve and he gets the most out of every witness. Steve’s eye for detail, work ethic and competitive spirit makes him the perfect investigator in any type of case.”
— The Law Office of Patrick K. Hanly, Former Assistant United States Attorney
“Steven Dupre is an outstanding investigator who I have known for nearly 22 years. His intelligence, experience, common sense, and high moral character qualities have helped him to develop his investigative skills, command of the facts, and ability to effectively interact with witnesses and the public. Moreover, he is an excellent witness as he effectively and persuasively communicates his thoughts on direct and cross- examination on the witness stand.
In my over 38 years as an attorney, of which 27 years was served as a federal prosecutor, I am keenly aware that SA Dupre enjoys an excellent reputation as an investigative agent among my colleagues in the U.S. Attorney’s Office and among agents with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and many other federal and state law enforcement agencies. He is, in my opinion, one of the three best investigative agents I have had the honor and privilege to work with in my long career as a federal prosecutor, state prosecutor, and as a defense attorney. ”
— Former AUSA William S. Wong
“Steve is remarkably responsive for our time-sensitive investigations, locating individuals, and conducting witness interviews throughout California and out-of-state. We’ve asked Steve to assist us after a number of other investigators have failed the assignment, and Steve somehow comes through when it looks like it won’t be possible. Steve is invaluable to our practice and he has always been willing to help with our tough assignments. Thanks, Steve, for all of your help and hard work!”
“Our client was charged with over thirty counts of bribery and related financial crimes. We initially hired Mr. Dupre to review the prosecutor’s forensic analysis of our client’s accounts to determine the accuracy of that analysis. During Mr. Dupre’s review of the bank records he noticed a pattern of transactions that was deeply inconsistent with the prosecution’s theory of the case. Mr. Dupre’s analysis expanded our jury’s understanding of the case and was credited repeatedly by the prosecution. Ultimately, our client was found not guilty on multiple counts and convicted on none. The American justice system relies on the sort of diligent, impartial and honest analysis that experts such as Steve Dupre bring to the courtroom. ”
— Jane Hu – Trial Attorney, Public Defender’s Office of Placer County
“Because of Mr. Dupre’s investigative skills, attention to detail and persistence, I was able to establish that my clients were not at fault for a major vehicular collision.

When an assignment is taken, he gets right on it without delay and provides timely reports that are detailed and professional.”
