What to expect when hiring a private detective? Hiring a Private Detective can be quite daunting, but it is a crucial step in gathering the evidence/information you require. Whether you’re considering hiring a Private Detective in London, understanding how we operate allows you to decide if a Private Investigator is for you.
Before we undertake any work for any of our clients, there is a process we follow. Below is what you can expect when hiring a private investigator.
1. Initial consultation
Most private detectives offer an initial consultation where you discuss your case and decide whether their services are appropriate. Use this opportunity to ask questions about their methods, costs, confidentiality, and success rates.
We will work with you, and cover all aspects of the detective service/services you may require, priding ourselves in only offering services we feel would be right for your individual needs.
2. Handling your services
Once you have agreed upon the service you wish to proceed with you are assigned to a dedicated case manager. The case manager will collate all of the paperwork which outlines in writing exactly what will be conducted for you. We always request you need to read and agree all of the details are correct.
Once this has been signed, your case manager will then set up the task you require. Typical services provided include surveillance, investigations, and background checks, among other services.
3. On completion of the investigation
On completion of the case, we will email you a full report. This will outline our findings, which your case manager will verbally go through with you. Allowing you to ask any further questions you may have. Depending on the situation may suggest a follow-up service or advise you to seek legal action.
