Frequently Asked Questions

What can a private investigator legally do in California?
A licensed PI can watch and document activity from public locations. In addition, we can review public records and interview witnesses who are willing to talk. Once that’s complete, we compile everything into clear documentation for legal proceedings. Throughout this process, though, we always work within California privacy law.

Is surveillance footage admissible in family court?
Often, yes. In fact, California family courts regularly admit surveillance evidence when a licensed investigator documents it properly. That said, admissibility depends on how the evidence was obtained and how your attorney presents it. Because of this, it’s always best to loop in your family law attorney early.

How much does a private investigator cost?
Honestly, it depends. For example, case type, duration, and whether you need aerial support can all affect the price. Typically, most surveillance investigations run on an hourly rate plus a retainer. To get an accurate number, simply contact us to discuss your specific case.

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