Frequently Asked Questions About Our Investigations
How long does a typical infidelity investigation take?
Most infidelity investigations by our surveillance private investigator team are completed within 1-4 weeks, depending on the subject's patterns and the level of evidence required. We provide regular updates throughout the investigation and can expedite cases when urgency is required. Our Orange County and San Diego surveillance teams operate 24/7.
Is the evidence you collect admissible in California courts?
Yes. Our licensed investigators follow strict chain-of-custody protocols ensuring all surveillance footage, digital forensics reports, and documented evidence meet California legal standards. We regularly provide expert witness testimony in family court, civil litigation, and criminal proceedings throughout Orange County and San Diego.
What information do you need to start a cyber harassment investigation?
To begin a cyber harassment investigation, we need copies of threatening communications (screenshots with timestamps), platform names, account usernames, and any known information about the suspected perpetrator. Our digital forensics team can trace IP addresses, analyze communication patterns, and identify anonymous harassers in most cases.
Can you help recover money lost to a romance scam?
While direct financial recovery from overseas scammers is challenging, our
romance scam investigation services provide documented evidence for fraud insurance claims, law enforcement reports to the
FBI Cyber Division, and identification of domestic co-conspirators who may face civil liability. We trace cryptocurrency transactions and identify the real identities behind fake profiles.
What areas do your surveillance private investigators cover?
Our surveillance teams operate throughout Southern California including Orange County (Irvine, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point) and San Diego County (La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe). We also conduct investigations statewide and coordinate with licensed investigators nationally when cases require broader coverage.
How much does a private investigation cost?
Investigation costs vary based on case complexity, required services, and duration. Surveillance investigations typically start at $150-$250 per hour. Digital forensics and cyber investigations are often project-based. We provide detailed estimates during your free confidential consultation with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
