Private Investigator Cost – Typical Investigations and Surveillance
One of our clients called to use our services because she believed that her husband was having an affair. She thought that the affair was taking place just after typical working hours, and he was lying about working overtime. So, we decided the best course of action would be to surveil the spouse starting at his workplace.
We had eyes on him over Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and only required a one-person team to complete this job. Over the first two days, the husband did work overtime and then went straight home after leaving work. However, on Friday evening, he finished work early and drove to an address 25 minutes away. He arrived at the residence where a scantily dressed woman greeted him. He stayed for three and a half hours.
