Hiring A Private Investigator: What To Expect

Chances are, if you're hiring an investigator it's because you have a legal or personal problem of some type. Many people go their entire lives without hiring or even speaking to an investigator, while others use them on a daily basis. Whatever the situation, we are here to help.

​

The first thing you need to decide is if you are really serious about dealing with the situation.  People use investigators for a vast variety of reasons; not all are legal issues. Perhaps you want to find someone. Maybe you were adopted and want to locate your birth parents. Maybe you think you might be a stalking victim. It doesn't matter what you wish to accomplish. What does matter is the amount of importance you place on the issue.

​

Hiring an attorney or investigator can be expensive. On the other hand, these services can be much more affordable then most people would think. We try to work with everyone to come up with a plan that works. Call us at (503)-256-4933 for a free consultation to decide if this is right for you.

Working with Investigators

Once You've Made The Decision To Move Forward

Start making preparations to meet with the investigator/attorney:

  1. Get your information together. Documentation, pictures, anything you have.

  2. Get your thoughts organized. Some people write down their questions and thoughts so they don't forget.

  3. Be prepared to sign a contract. Most investigators have a contract that both parties sign.

  4. Be prepared to pay a retainer. If you have not come up with a budget, you will need to discuss it during your meeting. Most investigators won't start work until funds have cleared.

​

Call (503)-256-4933 today to get started.

Be realistic. Have realistic expectations; good communication makes all the difference. Ask questions, get answers, be clear and specific. Call us at (503)-256-4933 if you have any questions.

Good communication makes all the difference.
