Cost of a Private Investigator

If you’re thinking of hiring a private investigator, the thought of how much it’s going to cost has probably crossed your mind. You know what you’re after, and you’re fairly sure you’ll get the outcome you want, but you’re concerned about what the bill will run to after the investigation. The good news is, it’s not as expensive as you think, and you’ve got a few options if your budget is limited.

So, you’re thinking about hiring a private investigator. You may want some investigation into a potentially cheating spouse or partner, you may be tracking down a long lost relative, or you may be after a detective to investigate the dubious habits of your teenage child. Whatever the reason, you’re probably interested to know how much the investigation may cost. Well, the boring and obvious answer is that it depends entirely on your case.
