Straight answers, found the right way.
I'm Nathan Combs. I take on the cases that need someone who understands people and systems alike — for attorneys, businesses and families across Michigan. Every case gets my personal attention, start to finish.

The plumb bob in our mark is the oldest tool for finding true vertical. It doesn't guess — it settles on the truth. That's how every engagement runs.
Consult
A confidential conversation about the matter, the goal and the legal boundaries.
Scope
A written plan — objectives, methods, timeline and budget — signed before work begins.
Investigate
Records, field work, interviews and pretext as authorized, documented at every step.
Report
Plain-language findings with evidence that holds up — in court or in the boardroom.
“Every case gets the same treatment: square with the client, level with the facts.”
Founder & Lead Investigator
An investigator who thinks like an engineer.
I founded Square Level Investigations in 2025. Few investigators come from the systems side; I spent more than fifteen years in security engineering, software compliance and IT operations before and alongside my field work. That means I understand how people get manipulated and how the systems behind them fail — and I treat every client the way I'd want to be treated.
The Square Level platform.
We're building a secure client portal and verified-access investigative platform: case intake, status and reports in one place — with every request tied to a verified identity and a documented permissible purpose.
