Whether you call them Detectives, Gumshoes, Snoops, Private Eyes, or simply a PI; Hiring a Private Investigator is easier when you are prepared.  What you get in return for your money is in part based upon how prepared you are when you hire a private investigator.  It's important that you have a clear understanding of the services that will be provided in return for your money.  Our page on hiring an investigator will help you prepare for this.

Know who you're hiring.  While many states require Private Investigators to be licensed, you should be aware that there are several states that do not require any license at all, except perhaps an occupational license.  In essence, in those states, anyone can buy a business license and become a private investigator.  We've provided links to the State license agencies for your convenience.

However well meaning, an inexperienced and untrained investigator can project significant liability to a client. Constantly changing state and federal laws relating to privacy, financial records, medical records, court records, victim’s rights, civil court procedure and criminal court procedure are a minefield for inexperienced and untrained investigators.  While licenses provide a degree of legitimization, experience and a networking team are just as important.  Hiring an investigator is paying for information and the better connected your investigator is, the more resources he/she has to meet your expectations.  In considering hiring an investigator, we suggest that you contact the agency that licenses any investigator that you might hire to assure that they are properly licensed.  You might also contact the Better Business Bureau to check to see if any complaints have been made against the investigator as well and why.
