Five Reasons to Hire a Private Investigator

I am often hired after someone has already tried and failed to catch a cheating spouse on their own. People often assume that being a private investigator is easy because how hard can it be to follow someone, right? Well, the reality is that it requires a lot more skill than it might seem, and that if you hire a private investigator, you’ll have greater success than going it alone. Here are five reasons why you should hire a private investigator:

1.  The private investigator is anonymous to the subject.

One of the main reasons most people hire a PI is because they know they are likely to be recognized and caught if they try to do the work themselves. If you are trying to follow your cheating spouse, it is almost certain that he will recognize your car or spot you, and your cover will be blown. Not only will this result in embarrassment for you or suspicion by him, but it will jeopardize the entire case. If your spouse now believes you are suspicious of his behavior, he will be more cautious in the future, making it more difficult to catch him.

How to Find out if Your Spouse Is Committing Online Infidelity

If your spouse is spending a lot more time than usual on the computer and acting in a very secretive manner (for example, using the computer only after you’ve gone to bed), he may be committing online infidelity. Our private investigators can perform computer forensics and surveillance to find out exactly what your spouse is doing on the computer. We perform these services to retrieve past and current computer and online activity:

Computer Data Recovery – Almost all past computer activity is retrievable. Most computer users assume that when they delete a file, it is permanently destroyed. In reality, the deleted files remain stored on the computer’s hard drive until the hard drive is full. As the hard drive needs more space, it starts to destroy the deleted files. Until that point, our private investigators are able to retrieve deleted files, emails, instant messages, and history of Internet activity, including websites visited.

I’ll describe these gadgets in detail in future posts.
