Summary

Oleg Flaksman began his career as a private investigator at the age of 19 in New York City, working one-man surveillance. In 2011 Oleg obtained his Private Investigator license in California and established his own PI firm, O&O Investigations, Inc. O&O Investigations invests thousands of dollars each year into developing in-house surveillance technology, which allows the firm to conduct surveillance that other firms cannot and to tailor the surveillance to the unique specifications of each case. O&O Investigation’s background investigations and social media forensics provide clients with key evidence to win their cases; whether it was a damning photograph, a telling post, or a seemingly unimportant comment.

As the founder and president of O&O Investigations, Inc., Oleg prides himself on having established one of the most professional private investigation firms in Southern California. One of his core philosophies is that here is no substitute visual evidence. To this end, O&O Investigations, Inc., works closely with their clients and attorneys to obtain integral evidence that is necessary to win a case. As an expert in the field of surveillance, background investigations, and social media forensics, Oleg takes the time to share knowledge and experience with other investigators and the public through his blog and courses he has taught nationwide. During his career, Oleg became a certified fraud examiner, social media forensic and social media analyst. He then ventured out into cryptocurrency. Oleg was chairman of the board for one of the largest crypto mining associations in the world. Due to not only his credentials but his ventures, he has extensive knowledge and research on the latest crypto, mining procedures and the overall fundamentals of cryptocurrency which is something not many other private investigation firms seem to offer.
