Need something more in-depth?
Quoted individually.
Complex asset investigations, digital forensics, litigation support, multi-jurisdictional searches and specialized investigations are quoted individually after a free confidential consultation.
Report availability and depth depend on the information provided, lawful access to records, jurisdiction and the scope of the investigation. Additional investigative work, database costs, travel, court-record fees or third-party fees may apply and will be disclosed before work begins.
What affects the cost
Hours, people, distance, complexity.
The main drivers are the hours of surveillance required, the number of investigators on the assignment, travel and location, timing requirements and how much documentation or research the matter needs. Surveillance has a four-hour minimum; investigation reports are fixed-price, listed above, and usually delivered in 24 to 48 hours.
Before you hire anyone
How to vet any private investigator, including us.
Whoever you end up hiring, run them through this checklist first. It takes ten minutes and filters out most of the bad experiences people have with this industry.
1
Verify the license with the State of Florida
Every legitimate Florida investigator holds a state license you can check yourself on the FDACS verification site. Ours: agency A1900157, lead investigator Class C C1500297. If someone won't give you a license number, walk away.
2
Demand a written, fixed quote before any work begins
Vague hourly estimates grow. A professional agency scopes the case in the consultation and puts the full price in writing, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
3
Ask who will actually work your case
Some firms sell the case, then subcontract it to whoever is available. Ask for the name and license of the investigator who will handle your matter, and whether they will take your calls directly.
4
Ask exactly what's included
Mileage, written reports, video evidence, court testimony: are they in the quote or billed later? Get the inclusions listed before you sign anything.
5
Be suspicious of guaranteed results
No investigator controls what the evidence will show, and Florida law prohibits deceptive claims. What can be promised is lawful methods, honest reporting and documentation that holds up in court.
Check any Florida investigator's license, including ours, on the FDACS license verification site.
