Private Investigators are the Experts in Your Case

Why Private Investigators should run their own investigations

While a good PI will always listen to their client and make sure they address all their concerns, it is important that we run our own investigation and only give updates as deemed relevant. Domestic cases can be very challenging to conduct as there are usually children involved and also property, assets and money. These things tend to make the spouse very much on edge causing them to ask the subject far too many questions hoping to glean some useful info for the investigator. This can turn on you! Most of the time, it does more harm than good to the case. It’s best in the beginning to fill out the appropriate paperwork giving the investigator the requested information to have in your file. No one has ESP and can know what the subject is planning to do before they do it. It doesn’t matter how the spouse answers your questions, subjects DO NOT tell the truth! One thing to always remember is this simple fact, if you could trust him or her, you wouldn’t have hired a PI. Best advice to take is, hire a good state licensed PI, turn them loose and give them time to do their job. There are right and wrong ways to conduct a case. However, one thing is for certain, each case is different and the investigator can tell pretty quickly if the subject has been tipped off by someone. Keep in mind it is very important you tell no one but your attorney that you have hired a PI. Bottom line, trust no one while your case is active.
