Deep understanding of the unique challenges private clients face
Will the person know I hire a private investigator?
No. No one will ever know. Any records we access, data bases we search or information we uncover will not leak to the subject of investigation. We use careful and methodical approaches to our investigative strategies. If we feel any aspect of the matter may leak, we will share it with you first so we can decide if the risk is worth the reward.
Do you offer any guarantees on your investigation services?
Yes. We guarantee our workmanship based on the budget the client has provided. We also have some additional guarantees depending on the case. Not all private investigations come with a guarantee, so it’s best to speak to us to discuss your matter. Remember, each investigation is different, and there are no promises as to the outcome of your private investigation.
