Many people who suspect their long term partners of infidelity will initially be very reluctant to look into hiring private investigators to prove or disprove their fears. Private detectives are often depicted in films in a certain way going about their business of private investigations in a very cloak and dagger manner but the truth is often far removed from this and hiring investigators can be a really wise decision. Just dont think they are going to look, act and be as sucessful the first time around like on TV.

Keeping in mind the nature of your relationship and how you wish to confront your partner over suspected infidelity, a private investigator can be an easier and more reliable option than trying to investigate a situation yourself. Your emotions will be running high and you cannot account for how you will feel if or when you find yourself in the situation where you catch your partner and their lover together. The impartiality of a third person may make situations easier to handle going forward should a divorce proceeding take place or a child custody battle.

Ensure that you research the investigators before deciding to hire them. You may feel uncomfortable about discussing your situation with several investigators but it is important that you are thorough in the process of selecting someone. You need to ask about their hourly rates as well as any other costs that may be incurred during their investigation. Some investigators charge additional costs for taking photographs or using other staff members in your investigation. Before employing the services of a private eye, the are many things to consider, not least what the financial cost may be, but hiring experienced private investigators, such as us at Harris Investigations, LLC, should mean that they will be able to give you an indication of what your reasonable costs will be and an estimate of the time that it might take to uncover the information that you require.

Communicate honestly and throughly with your investigative agency and you will be pleasantly surprized!

So you want to be a Private Investigator......

Please understand.. this is in NO WAY like on TV, we are not Magnum PI, Rockford, Dog the Bounty Hunter or anything else you might think of on Tv. This is HARD work. Many Pi's that were in business 5 years ago are no longer in business now. This is a cut throat business. Your best friend or competition can be here today and gone tommorow. Everyone is trying to one up the other guy or back stab their best friend so it seems.

We get calls daily.. how do I become a Pi? Do you have any openings? the answer is and has been for the past 2 years.. NO.. I have let all my staff go except my partner and I. My daughter helps in the office after school and works summer mornings answering phones and filing. My son helps my husband. My parents help out when we are in need of an extra body.

I love my job. Have been in this field since 1987 and wouldnt want to do anything else, but its to the point where I have to find something else to do with this work... Every day we spend 10 hours marketing and 2 hours working, just to stay a step ahead

I honestly can say.. think twice before you want to get into this field.. unless you have a special thing you do no one else can or does.. its not the next few years are not the time to be here.
