Child Safety

Parents, be sure to go to your local police and sheriff's office to pick up a child ID kit and form on what to do in the event that your child becomes lost. An ounce of prevention now will go a long way when you need to find your child.

Do I Really Need a Private Investigator?

Do I Really Need to Hire a Private Investigator?

If you suspect that your spouse may be having an affair, you need help with a child custody case or important matter the answer in most instances is, yes. You need to make sure that you can provide evidence to the court from an unbiased party that is not connected to the proceeding at hand. Usually, the evidence from a private investigator will come in the form of video taped evidence that is hard to dispute.

One of the pitfalls that people make when hiring a private investigator is that they sometimes go with a large firm that has to sub-contract your investigation out to a person that is learning the ropes of this profession. Another pitfall that consumers make is falling for tacky tag-lines or claims that they are the best. Did you know that there are actually private investigators that claim to be family law investigators or advocates for children that actually have a criminal back ground? Some of these people slip through the back ground checks and actually get a license. In order to protect yourself, have the investigator verify that they have no prior arrest records or disciplinary actions with the state licensing board. Also, require that your investigator provide you with a client agreement to protect you. Also, ask if your investigator provides you with a refund of any unused portion of your retainer. Did you know that there are investigators that require you to pay a non-refundable retainer, even if they get the evidence without using the entire retainer?

In summary, do not go to court alone. Having the right private investigator for the job makes all the difference. Remember, the other side may hire a private investigator as well.
