Meet the Founder
James Knudson
With two decades of service in law enforcement, I bring unmatched experience to the private investigation field. My career as a Deputy Sheriff was defined by high-level investigative work in narcotics and gang enforcement, as well as leadership in training the next generation of deputies — over 50 in total. I’ve also served as a certified narcotics expert, testifying in court and helping to bring clarity and justice to complex criminal cases.
My work has always demanded discipline, discretion, and an unwavering attention to detail — qualities I now apply to every investigation at American Veritas Investigations. Whether your case is large or small, I approach it with the same tenacity and drive for excellence. I hold myself to the highest standards, and I don't stop until the facts are uncovered and your questions are answered.
