About 4 Star Private Investigations

A retired police detective, now working for you.

4 Star Private Investigations was founded in 2023 by Paul Miranda, a retired police detective with 16 years in law enforcement. Based in Melissa, Texas, we bring the same careful, by-the-book investigative work to families, businesses and attorneys across Dallas-Fort Worth.

What That Means for You

  • We know how cases are built. Years of writing reports, interviewing witnesses and handling evidence means we know what holds up and what doesn't.

  • Your case is handled personally. When you call, you talk to Paul. Your case isn't handed off to someone you've never met.

  • We keep it confidential. Many clients come to us during the hardest time of their lives. What you tell us stays between us.

“Paul is a dedicated investigator and professional who is passionate about the cases he takes on, adding special and detailed attention to each one. Paul’s extensive knowledge and background in law enforcement and especially child abuse cases made it an easy choice for us when choosing a private investigator for our need. Paul is thorough and communicated with us on a regular basis what exactly was going on with our case until the very end.

We highly recommend Paul and 4 Star for any type of investigation.”
