Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a private investigator legal in Florida?
Yes. Private investigators in Florida must be properly licensed and operate within state and federal laws. At Investigators of Palm Beach, all investigations are conducted legally, ethically, and in full compliance with Florida regulations, ensuring any evidence gathered is lawful and defensible.
Will the person being investigated know about it?
No. Discretion is a cornerstone of our work. Investigations are conducted covertly and confidentially, without alerting the subject. Your privacy — and the integrity of the investigation — is always protected.
What types of cases do you handle?
We handle a wide range of cases, including:
- Infidelity and domestic investigations
- Child custody and family law support
- Legal and litigation investigations
- Corporate and employee investigations
- Background checks and due diligence
- Surveillance and locate services
Each case is customized based on your specific situation and goals.
Can the evidence you collect be used in court?
Yes. When applicable, we provide court-ready evidence, including detailed reports, photographs, videos, and timelines. All documentation is gathered using legal methods designed to withstand legal scrutiny.
How long does an investigation take?
The timeline depends on the type and complexity of the case. Some investigations may take a few days, while others require ongoing monitoring. During your confidential consultation, we’ll discuss realistic timelines and keep you informed throughout the process.
How much do private investigation services cost?
Costs vary based on the scope, duration, and resources required for the investigation. We offer transparent pricing and discuss estimated costs upfront — no surprises, no hidden fees. A confidential consultation will help determine the best approach for your budget.
Do you offer confidential consultations?
Yes. Every inquiry begins with a confidential, no-obligation consultation. This allows us to understand your situation, explain your options, and recommend next steps — all in a private, judgment-free setting.
