Private sources of data
Many times a prosepctive client will ask us “what can a private investigator do that I can’t do myself”. In simple terms, we can charge people for our time. We do not have police powers, nor are we allowed to break the law, but we have tools and training that the public does not. Our training provudes us with ability to do what is needed to get our client’s the information they are seeking. An average person operating without that training is likely to fail and/or alert the person that they are investigating. As a private investigator, we also have access to better sources of information than you can find on the internet, etc. Some would argue that the most valuable tool a private investigator has is his or her contacts. Our rolodex is very valuable inasmuch as we have the right people, in the right places, to call for help.
