Frequently Asked Questions

What can a private investigator legally do in California? A licensed PI can watch and document activity from public locations. We can also review public records and interview willing witnesses. Then we compile everything into documentation for legal proceedings, always within California privacy law.

Is surveillance footage admissible in family court? Often, yes. California family courts regularly admit surveillance evidence when a licensed investigator documents it properly. That said, admissibility depends on how we obtained it and how your attorney presents it. So always loop in your family law attorney early.

How much does a private investigator cost? It depends. Case type, duration, and whether you need aerial support all affect the price. Most surveillance investigations run on an hourly rate plus a retainer. Contact us for a quote based on your specific case.

Do you work with attorneys and other investigation firms? Yes, often. We regularly support family law attorneys, criminal defense attorneys, and insurance defense counsel. We also partner with other licensed PI agencies that need subcontracted surveillance or FAA-certified drone coverage.
