About Timothy Bonnington

Licensed Private Investigator | Qualified Manager | Founder, Bonnington PI

Timothy Bonnington’s path to becoming a licensed private investigator began while attending the University of Mississippi. During breaks and summers back in his hometown of Sacramento, he worked alongside seasoned investigators at one of the region’s most respected firms—gaining rare, early hands-on experience in the field.

By the time Tim decided to pursue private investigation full-time, he had already accumulated over Seven years of real-world investigative work, ranging from infidelity and missing persons cases to surveillance and theft investigations. Those early cases sparked a deep passion for uncovering the truth and helping people find resolution during life’s most uncertain moments.

Driven by that passion, Tim successfully completed the rigorous requirements of the California State Private Investigator licensing process, earning both his Private Investigator License and his designation as a Qualified Manager. Today, he brings a meticulous eye for detail, a results-driven mindset, and a deeply empathetic approach to every case.

“Client communication and confidentiality are everything,” Tim often says. “This work requires trust—and we never take that lightly.”
