Private Investigator in Dover, DE

A private investigator gathers information, for example by researching records, locating people, or documenting facts for a case. Ask what the investigator would do in your matter, what they will give you at the end, and how it can be used.

It depends on the state, and sometimes the city. Many states license private investigators and some have different rules. Ask for the licence number and check it with the licensing board. On Pros Around, 'Licence verified' means we matched the number to the board's record on the date shown.

Ask what methods the investigator uses and whether they follow the law in your state. Not every method is allowed in every situation, and watching or recording a person can be unlawful. Be careful with anyone who offers to do anything for you, and walk away if the answer is vague.

It depends on the case and the rules where it is heard. Ask the investigator how they document their work, and speak to your lawyer first. Pros Around does not give legal advice.

Bring a clear summary of what you want to find out, names, dates and any documents. Ask how the investigator handles confidential information, whether they will sign a written agreement, and who they report to.

The price depends on the size and difficulty of the job. Some pros publish a starting price on their listing. Ask two or three for a written quote that says what is included, and compare the scope as well as the price.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.
