OUR HISTORY:
Bearden Investigative Agency was founded in 1972 by Jim Bearden, who left the government intelligence field to establish his own company. His son, Wes Bearden, worked alongside his father for many years and is now the company’s Chairman of the Board. The company sold its large security division to a multinational corporation in 1991 and refocused its mission on being an attorney-led, full-service investigative agency that provides high-quality work with trusted results.
Over the last 50 years, the agency has worked in all 50 states and some 42 countries. They have offices in Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and New York, with plans to open additional offices nationwide and overseas. BIA has represented thousands of individuals and attorneys, hundreds of corporations, and numerous federal, state, and local governmental entities – each with a unique problem.
