Dear Mr. Biondo,

I’ve known Gil Alba for just over a year. I’m a former New York State correction officer (recently retired). Just prior to meeting Gil, I was working on a personal project where I believed an inmate to be innocent of their crime and began doing some investigation and research on my own. In my research, I appealed to several private investigating agencies; one of which was Alba Investigations. After explaining my situation and the fact that there could be no monetary payment, at least not right away, all agencies immediately lost interest. Gil Alba was the only one who took a human and moral interest into the case. He has taken it upon himself to go and visit, give advice, and occasionally correspond with the inmate. Gil met with myself, an attorney, and the inmate’s father with the intent of brainstorming the best ways of going about the case. Gil is a very unique human being. I have the utmost respect for the man, his expertise, his benevolent manner, moral integrity and his dedication to service.

Most respectfully,

Andy De Mers
