What do I need to do for you to begin an investigation for me?
Before we begin an investigation, we require our clients to enter into a contract for service. Once signed, you may mail or fax, the contract. To expedite the investigation it is best to e-mail the signed contract. Elite Investigations requires a retainer before we will begin any investigation and investigative services are billed against the retainer.
How much can I expect to spend on my investigation?
Rates vary depending on a number of factors such as type of investigation, time involved, etc. Our rates will undercut the competition and we will provide you with outstanding service. Our goal is to provide you with an affordable service that will meet your needs.
How long will the investigation take?
A lot depends on the type of investigation as well as the duration of the investigation. However, there is no real way of determining how long an investigation will take. Some cases could take a few hours, while others could take significantly longer. During the FREE consultation we will be able to establish a better idea about how long your investigation might take.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, cash, money-order, certified check, cashiers check, wire-transfers, or business/personal check. However, if paying by check, an investigation will not commence until checks clear the bank. If paying via a wire-transfer there will be a service charge of $15.
Do you require a retainer?
