A Professional California Firm * State Licensed PI #18755
Before you hire any Private Investigator, ensure they are licensed & have actual experience. Quickly weed out the dishonest ones with a free online check.
Start by checking to see if the Private Investigator is State Licensed to legally perform investigations in your desired State. In California (for example), if they are not licensed, it is illegal for them to work for you.
In California, you can verify all State issued Private Investigator Licenses on the Department of Consumer Affairs website. This simple check will tell you if the company holds a valid private investigator's license. And it will also, just as importantly, reveal exactly when that P.I. license was issued.
Beware of licensed private investigators who exaggerate (or blatantly lie about) their levels of experience on their websites or advertisements. They do this simply to boost their credibility in the hopes of gaining your business.
Verify their credentials (using the provided link below) and you will not be fooled by those deceitful and unsavory practices designed to put money in their pockets by tricking you.
You already have a problem and you seek professional help. Therefore, experience and honesty should be a top priority for you! Do yourself a favor and check them out before you hire. It's quick, really simple, and free to use.
Summary
To summarize Tip #1, if any person is trying to deceive you from the start, just how do you think they will treat you later?
If a P.I. cannot tell you the simple truth about how long they have been a licensed private investigator, then you should walk away!
