Private Investigation Rates
Surveillance, Background Screening,
Process Service and Investigative Rates
This is a very complex and dangerous world,
every day we hear it in the news! Each case
has to be handled individually regarding
rates, fees and quotes, depending upon the
type of investigation and your budget. Below
are common rate factors in determining the
amount of retainer and deposit. Further
specifics of your case can be detailed in
our Contract and separate Investigative
Request Form located on our Forms page.
Our rates range from $55.00 per hour to
$85.00 per hour with a 4 hour minimum per
day plus $0.55 per mile and expenses. There
is no charge for a report unless it is
excessive. We can typically provide photos
and/or videotape and DVD or VHS depending
upon your preference. A payment plan may be
accepted depending upon our agreement.
A retainer of $550.00 per 8 hour day is
required and must be in our office prior to
the investigation along with a completed
Contract and Investigative Request Form. If
there are consecutive days the retainer will
be multiplied per day. At the end of the
investigation, we will provide a report. We
offer a payment plan which will be
determined on a case by case evaluation and
approval. Our method of payment is cash,
check and/or money order.
Background Screening Rates
Some types of background screening
packages we can offer are: caregiver
screening, date or personal screening,
pre-employment screening and tenant
screening. No matter which one of these you
are looking for, it is your right to know
who is involved in your personal and/or
business life!
Our rates will vary depending upon what kind
of screening you are looking for. There are
many variations of screening (s) which will
have to be handled on a one to one basis
depending upon requirements. Approximate
costs in addition to the below package rates
will depend upon how many different,
countries, states and/or counties in which
the individual has resided in. Depending
upon your request, additional costs may
occur for court searches, records retrieval
and/or physically pulled documents and
copies.
