Frequently Asked Questions

How do I verify a licensed private investigator in California?

All legitimate California private investigators must hold valid licenses issued by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS). You can verify any investigator's license status through the BSIS website. Our agency maintains active licenses and proper insurance coverage, ensuring professional accountability for every investigation we conduct.

What makes a licensed private investigator different from unlicensed investigators?

Licensed private investigators undergo background checks, meet experience requirements, pass examinations, and maintain continuing education. Licensed investigators operate legally, provide court-admissible evidence, carry professional liability insurance, and follow strict ethical standards. Unlicensed investigators operate illegally in California and their evidence may not be admissible in court.

Can a licensed private investigator help with cryptocurrency recovery?

Yes, licensed private investigators with cryptocurrency expertise can trace blockchain transactions, identify scammers, document fraud, and gather evidence for recovery efforts. While we cannot guarantee recovery, our blockchain analysis and investigative work has helped numerous Orange County and San Diego victims pursue legal action and work with authorities to track stolen cryptocurrency.

Is evidence from a licensed private investigator admissible in court?

Yes, when properly collected and documented by a licensed private investigator following legal procedures. Our investigators maintain strict chain-of-custody protocols, document all investigative steps, and follow California legal standards.

How much do licensed private investigator services cost?

Licensed private investigator fees vary based on case complexity, investigation type, and time requirements. We provide transparent pricing with detailed estimates during your initial consultation.
