Former Client & New Reader

We let Carl handle something for us before, and we’re happy we did!


Carl DeFazio - Private Investigator & Author of "Let Me Handle This"

A Private Investigator’s personal memoirs based on a life of character, integrity, and the willingness to help people in their most desperate times. During this journey, you will pick up on investigatory skills and techniques that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you travel through the streets of NYC, Asia, South America, and the Caribbean.

In this book, you follow Private Investigator Carl DeFazio as he is face to face and outnumbered by armed gang members, protecting the royal family of Monaco, solving problems for captains of industry, investigating the World Trade Center attacks, serving NYC in the aftermath of 9/11, and interrogating the world’s most dangerous terrorists.

He uses life lessons learned from growing up in the schoolyards of NYC, where authenticity and candor took him through the Marine Corps, NYPD, and 30+ years as a private investigator. Mr. DeFazio will stop at nothing to get to the truth, so when the shit hits the fan, he is the guy you want in your foxhole.

Tough and determined are two words that come to mind when I think of Carl DeFazio. Carl was in Parris Island learning how to defend our country. He was all Marine when he finished boot camp…I remember when he came home.  Bigger and stronger – only now more mature, more confident.

Carl is an inherently good person.  This drives him to go out of his way to help anyone in need, be it a life-long friend, family member or someone he just met at the local pub.  And if, on the off chance, it’s not within his ability to help you, by golly, he knows somebody that can.  He helps without any angle, hidden agenda or expectation.  It’s just the kind of person he is.

Carl is an entrepreneur, he is the rain-man, always has irons in the fire and is frequently 13 steps ahead of you. He accomplishes more before 10am than most people do in a day. He is complex, asks a lot of you, and expects honesty and integrity every step of the way, but frankly you want to give your honesty and loyalty because he will bring out the best in you. You will soon learn that if you don’t have him in your life, you are most certainly missing something.

The stories were fascinating and all of them are true. Carl is a charismatic guy with an underlying moral and humane side. He is calculating and quick to diagnose the true character of a person. He is well past the stage where something can shock him. He has an altruistic view of the way the world should work and fights for it to be that way.
