Company Profile

The firm was founded by John H. Wood, in 1985, as John H. Wood & Co., in Waimea on the island of Hawaii [aka: The Big Island]. Mona Lisa Wood and Stephen J. Tait joined the firm the next year.

Incorporating technology and coupling it with our agency's tried and true, street-smart investigation and adjusting experience, Wood & Tait offers clients options not found from a single source elsewhere.

This packaging of services results in more timely, through, and cost-justified results.

Mission Statement: Quality, Timely Service.

Principally through computer online access, our Research Department provides a wide range of investigative research services. We probe public, private, and proprietary data bases and sources to locate and extract intelligence beneficial both for our own investigations and as a separate service for clients.

Information brokers retrieve raw data for their clients. We go further by analyzing the raw data collected, recognizing patterns, piecing together abstract data and provide our clients not the raw data but the intelligence they seek. This data mining produces results.

Our Research Department regularly conducts Hawaii statewide, national, and international searches for the specific information our clients seek. We are continually developing new resources.
