Meet Investigator L. James, M.P.A.
From courtrooms and classified corridors to high-rise boardrooms and secured private estates — I’ve built my career on precision, trust, and elite discretion. I’m L. James, the founder of Signature and Silence™.
At Signature and Silence™, we specialize in high-level mobile and virtual services, including:
-
SF-85 / SF-86 Federal Government Clearance Consultations & Document Preparation
-
Mobile Notary Services
-
I-9 Verifications (Remote / In-Person)
-
FD-258 Mobile Fingerprinting
I’m a contract background investigator with nearly a decade of experience supporting U.S. government agencies, defense contractors, and high-level professionals across both public and private sectors. I have conducted thousands of federal national security background investigations, providing thorough and precise investigative support to a wide range of clients involved in sensitive and complex security clearance processes.
My background includes serving as a juvenile and adult felony probation officer in the Atlanta metropolitan area, with experience in Fulton, Clayton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Douglas counties.
I have also worked as a federal contractor in overseas locations including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait supporting mission-critical operations in challenging environments.
My approach is meticulous and mission-driven — grounded in our three pillars: Class, Competence, and Confidentiality.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, a Master’s in Public Administration, and $250,000 in insurance coverage (Errors & Omissions, personal liability, and cyber risk) — I bring both expertise and protection to every appointment.
In a world of rushed signatures, generic notary services, and confusing clearance processes, we don’t cut corners. We don’t compromise. Whether it’s mobile notarizations, fingerprinting, or expert federal security clearance consultations, we deliver high-caliber service with professionalism, precision, and poise.
