Common Questions

Is hiring a private investigator for surveillance legal in New Jersey?
Yes, when it's done by a licensed investigator who follows the law. Observing and documenting activity in public or otherwise lawfully visible settings is an accepted investigative practice.

Can the subject tell they're being followed?
Our investigators are trained in low-profile techniques designed to avoid attention.

How much time does a surveillance assignment take?
That depends on the situation. Some cases are resolved in a few hours, others need several days. Before we begin, we'll walk you through a plan and cost estimate.

Can I use your findings in court?
We prepare our documentation with legal use in mind, but the court decides what is admissible. We recommend speaking with your attorney about how best to use it.

Will anyone else learn about my case?
