Hire The Right Team
Do they have (the right) experience?
In order to make sure the job is done correctly, you need to ensure the private investigators you work with are experienced. Take the time to ask questions about who they are, how long they have been in business, and the types of investigations they specialize in. Are they familiar with Connecticut?
Do they have adequate resources?
Is your investigator a lone wolf, or do they work for an investigations agency? While not everyone is looking for a giant team of investigators, it is always a good idea to ask how many investigators work for the agency along with what resources they have at their disposal to assist them with your case. Conversely, if the firm is large, are they going to be able to provide your case with the attention it deserves? Most professional agencies will assign your case its own investigator, ensuring your case receives the security and attention it deserves.
Do they have up-to-date equipment?
If you are looking for evidence, you want that evidence to be as clear as possible. Is the agency you are working with keeping up with the technological changes in the investigations industry? Do not be afraid to ask your investigator what type of equipment they are using, about their security, and if that equipment yields high-quality results.
Can they prove their track record?
Make sure to ask how much experience potential investigators have with cases similar to yours. Do not be afraid to ask how well those cases worked out. A seasoned investigator will be more than happy to share their previous results – and will leave out any personal information, of course.
How is your privacy protected?
Confidentiality is a must. Don’t be afraid to ask how your investigator will handle your privacy; the last thing you want is for word of your sensitive situation to get out. A private investigator should be discreet and respectful of all the personal and private information shared between you and them.
Are they easy to reach and easy to work with?
Hiring a private investigator is stressful enough. Having to deal with a distant private investigator can make conducting your case very difficult. Before hiring them, ask an investigator how they will keep you updated on your case’s progress. Unfortunately, many investigators become hard to reach once you’ve paid them. If you feel like your investigator is not communicating properly, or if they are pressuring you and it makes you uncomfortable, do not be afraid to seek out another investigator. A private investigator’s job is to put you at ease, not add extra stress.
Are you prepared for your results?
Unfortunately, no one hires a private investigator just for fun. More often than not, you need an investigator to uncover something for you. Whether that involves loved ones or people you are close with, be sure you are ready for whatever they uncover. You need to be sure you can handle the possibility that your concerns were correct – or incorrect.
How much do they charge?
It’s important to get a clear idea of the costs and expenses involved in hiring a private investigator before agreeing to work with them. Make sure you set an agreement or contract before you hire them, as some investigators’ hourly rates do not include travel, mileage, video evidence, or reporting fees.
Do they use illegal or unethical means to obtain information?
Even though doing anything illegal puts a private investigator’s license at risk, some take the easy way out to solve a case. Asking this question protects you, and ensures that the information they present you will be admissible in court. Root Investigations conducts all investigations in a legal and ethical manner.
Our investigators will provide you with a complementary consultation, which will help us better understand your case and specific needs.
