FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

So many situations call for professional help. A few are: suspicious of marital infidelity, an abusive ex-spouse or boyfriend and you are afraid of personal harm, suspicion of a business partner or family member that might be stealing or embezzling money, threat or actual blackmail, being charged with a crime (certainly a felony), cold case review, etc. Please believe me most situations do not just go away. The problem grows worse everyday.

A clear and understandable assessment of your case with a plan of action that you agree upon. That certainly includes the expected amount of professional fees and timely updates. Some PI’s charge a retainer and some do not. A retainer is a downpayment from you to the PI firm. They withdraw the money as they work on your case. Ask questions so there are no surprises. The PI should give you updates on a regular basis – telephone calls are usually easier and more frequent. But please know sometimes the cases become more complicated and will take longer than expected. This is normal but the PI should keep you informed along the way.
