Straight answers, found the right way.

I'm Nathan Combs. I take on the cases that need someone who understands people and systems alike — for attorneys, businesses and families across Michigan. Every case gets my personal attention, start to finish.

How I work

Measured twice. Reported once.

The plumb bob in our mark is the oldest tool for finding true vertical. It doesn't guess — it settles on the truth. That's how every engagement runs.

Consult

A confidential conversation about the matter, the goal and the legal boundaries.

Scope

A written plan — objectives, methods, timeline and budget — signed before work begins.

Investigate

Records, field work, interviews and pretext as authorized, documented at every step.

Report

Plain-language findings with evidence that holds up — in court or in the boardroom.

“Every case gets the same treatment: square with the client, level with the facts.”

About

An investigator who thinks like an engineer.

I founded Square Level Investigations in 2025. Few investigators come from the systems side; I spent more than fifteen years in security engineering, software compliance and IT operations before and alongside my field work. That means I understand how people get manipulated and how the systems behind them fail — and I treat every client the way I'd want to be treated.

Field investigationsInvestigator since 2021 and process server since 2019 — locates, surveillance and service on hard-to-reach parties.
Security & complianceSix years evaluating software against regulatory and security controls for a major national mortgage lender; today architects security systems as COO of a technology company.
IT operationsYears leading managed-services teams and enterprise infrastructure overhauls — the environments social engineers target.
Computer scienceBachelor's degree in computer science.
