Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which Private Investigator to hire?
Private Investigation is a specialized skillset. When looking to hire a PI, you want to understand where they received their training and experience, and how many years they have been conducting investigations. Unfortunately, like any field of work, you will encounter some investigators who are better than others. We recommend that you take time to ensure they have a valid license by verifying the information with the state licensing board, BSIS, the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.
For more information on hiring the right PI, take a look at our blog article “How to hire a PI“.
How much does it cost?
The cost to hire a Private Investigator will vary. Some may charge a minimal fee and some will charge a much higher rate. Typically you will pay an hourly fee, in addition to cost for items such a mileage. Often times, investigators will require a retainer, which will be expensed against your contractual rate. I encourage everyone to have a written contract with whichever PI you hire so that you have the terms of the investigation and the rate of pay. This will ensure both you and the PI are protected and are on the same page before you begin. This field of work is specialized, so you will likely pay a higher rate for someone who has more experience, and less for someone who is new to the industry or lacks the real world investigative experience.
Is this all confidential?
Absolutely, all of our investigators maintain strict confidentiality of your matter.
