Private Investigation Questions
What is the process to start an investigation?
The investigation process will begin with you speaking to one of our private investigators, so we can better understand your situation and individual needs. We can talk over the phone, email, or in person. Our consultations are always free. Our private investigator will ask you a series of questions to help us create an investigative plan suited to your case.
Will I be updated during the investigation?
Yes. Keep in mind every investigation is different; you will be updated promptly and at the time specified during your initial consultation with our licensed private investigator.
Do you have a minimum amount of hours on an investigation?
When hiring a private investigator, you are paying the private investigator for their time, not for results. Depending on the investigation type, we may not have a minimum amount of hours. It is important to be sure of the subject’s activities before hiring a private investigator. We only offer refunds for investigator errors, which will be discussed during the initial consultation.
How can I be sure your private investigation agency has a great reputation?
When hiring any private investigation agency, it is imperative that you first make sure they are licensed & insured.

what is the cost?
Private Investigation rates generally reflect the cost and time required to work an individual case. We have built a unique system that provides our clients with a predetermined price for the entire investigation. With neither surprise fees, retainers, fuel costs, or tolls; nor any hidden costs, we aim to provide a cost-effective solution to our client’s most demanding investigations. We do not use any form of “rounding up” in our rates for unanticipated expenses, as the price for an inquiry will be determined based on your specific needs, not a set agency price.
How does it work?
The initial step in scheduling an investigation would be either a phone call or an email conversation with one of our licensed private investigators & private detectives. We will ask you questions to determine what the best course of action is. From there, our team will custom build an investigative plan to your satisfaction and tailored to the specific requirements of your case. During the investigation, you may be updated on any changes. Upon completion of the investigation, clients receive a written, detailed report along with any photos or video documentation captured during the investigation.
