A licensed private investigator is a professional authorized to conduct private investigations. Requirements vary by jurisdiction but generally include education, experience, background checks, training, exams, and fees. Licensed PIs adhere to legal and ethical standards in areas like surveillance, fraud, and missing persons. Check local regulations for specific requirements.
We assure 100% confidentiality. Throughout any investigation, we diligently safeguard the privacy of all acquired information.
Private investigators handle diverse cases, including surveillance, background checks, missing persons, infidelity, corporate investigations, legal support, insurance fraud, security consultations, and cyber investigations.
Anyone, including credit unions, law firms, insurance companies, and private individuals, can enlist the services of these professionals.
A private investigator is prohibited from impersonating law enforcement, wiretapping phones, making illegal recordings, or engaging in unlawful activities for a client.
Private investigators tailor services to clients' needs. Law firms seek them for legal case information, insurers for probing claims. Individuals hire for finding missing persons, surveilling spouses, or uncovering hidden assets. Fieldwork includes interviews and surveillance, with detailed reports. Investigators may testify in court based on their findings.
There are a few procedures you should follow to carry out due diligence before you sign a retainer agreement with a certain private eye. For instance, you should ask for the private investigator's recommendations, which should include previous clients. In addition, if applicable, request the investigator's license number and inquire with the state licensing board about any specific complaints submitted against him or her.
Avoid impulsively hiring a private detective. Take time to learn about the investigator. Initiate a brief phone conversation and request a consultation, often offered at no charge. Ask questions about fees and included costs. Clarify the total service cost and the need for a retainer. Before payment, obtain a documented retainer agreement from the investigator.
Licensed private investigators utilize various technological tools in their surveillance and services. Device usage may vary based on location regulations. Tools include binoculars, extension lenses, digital cameras, covert cameras, and night vision cameras. Additionally, investigators may use tracking, recording, and debugging technology. Surveillance equipment can also be installed in a vehicle or van.
In today's digital age, substantial information can be sourced online from research databases, public documents, and social media. Phone interviews are also conducted. However, for tasks like surveillance, stakeouts, or cases demanding extensive on-site efforts, we recommend engaging a local investigator who can be physically present.
While we wish to provide specific cost ranges, the pricing for research is project-dependent. Fees are primarily based on the time invested in your case. Contact us for our detailed pricing schedule, and please note that surveillance may occasionally involve additional fees. Our firm maintains fair charges and endeavors to align with your budget while achieving the desired outcomes. The initial consultation is free, and all details about your case remain confidential. Feel free to inquire and discuss your options without any commitment.
