​

Are private investigators allowed to break the law to gather information?
No. All of our actions are 100% legal. While we use advanced investigative methods, we are prohibited from engaging in illegal activities like trespassing, hacking, or wiretapping. Our work is done within legal and ethical boundaries.

​

How much does hiring a private investigator cost?
Costs can vary depending on the type of investigation and its complexity. Some cases are charged on an hourly basis, while others are billed at a flat rate. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear estimate so there are no surprises.

​

How long does an investigation take?
The length of an investigation depends on the case’s complexity. Simple investigations can be completed in a few days, while more intricate cases might take weeks or even longer. We’ll give you an estimated timeline during our consultation based on your specific needs.

​

Can a private investigator help with a legal case?

​

What should I expect after hiring a private investigator?
Once you hire us, we’ll start by gathering the details of your case during an initial consultation. From there, we’ll create a plan, set a timeline, and discuss costs. Throughout the investigation, we’ll keep you updated on progress and next steps.

​

Are private investigators allowed to follow people?
Yes, private investigators can follow individuals as part of a legal investigation. However, we always ensure that surveillance is discreet and within legal limits to avoid infringing on anyone’s privacy rights.

​

Are private investigators the same as bounty hunters or law enforcement officers?
No, there are significant differences. Private investigators gather information and provide reports, but we do not have the legal authority to make arrests or use force. Bounty hunters, on the other hand, focus on apprehending fugitives, while law enforcement officers have broader powers for enforcing the law.

​

Can a private investigator access private or confidential records?
Private investigators can access publicly available records, such as court documents, property records, and business licenses. However, we cannot access private or confidential records (e.g., bank accounts, medical records) unless legally authorized, such as through a subpoena.
