Tracecraft Special Investigations — Licensed Private Investigators, North Texas
Truth Through Evidence
Federal investigative discipline — brought to private clients, legal teams, and businesses across Texas.
Federal Discipline. Independent Perspective.
Dave Klimek spent 20 years as an FBI Special Agent in the Dallas Division — investigating fraud, complex financial crimes, public corruption, civil rights violations, and human trafficking. He retired from the FBI in February 2021 and founded Tracecraft Special Investigations, LLC to bring that same standard of rigor to private clients. Every case receives his direct, personal attention.
Why TracecraftNot Every Investigator
Is the Same.
Most private investigators are former local law enforcement. The training, methodology, and credentialing of a retired FBI Special Agent — with 5+ years of additional licensed PI experience — is a fundamentally different standard.
