Private Investigation Fees
A Deeper Understanding Of Factors That Affect Billing
Investigate NC will do everything possible to complete your Private Investigation effectively and efficiently to keep costs as low as possible and keep you within your budget. We offer a FREE Consultation to gather as much detail as possible, understand your needs and share what you can expect from us.
Below we will outline the different types of fees, things that might affect the cost of your case and different things to consider when hiring us as your Private Investigators. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have and don't worry, we issue an expense report with all our cases outlining how your money was allocated.
Financial Accountability & Service Efficiency
Engagement Fee:
For certain case types, we work off of a non-refundable engagement fee. This fee secures the availability of an investigator and the commitment of resources to your matter and is considered earned in full upon receipt. This engagement fee is not a retainer, nor is it held in trust and cannot be applied as a credit to future hourly services. A full accounting of time and services performed is made available at the conclusion of the case. It is during the FREE Consultation that we will share the engagement fee we feel is appropriate for your case.
Flat Fee:
For some case types, we offer a flat fee. This is where we set a fixed price for services to be rendered. These are normally done in cases where the work is predictable and we know the costs to complete the job. It is during the FREE Consultation, that we will share the flat fee we feel is appropriate for your case.
Factors that may influence the amounts of the Engagement Fee and Flat Fee are the following:
-
The type of investigation being performed
-
The amount of information provided by the client
-
The amount of hours of surveillance required
-
Airline, hotel, rental vehicle, gas, food per diem and other travel related costs
-
The amount of travel involved (driving is billed per mile)
-
Remote locations that require additional time and resources
-
The level of detail requested and any unique circumstances
-
Any hazards or dangerous factors involved in the investigation
-
Stringent timelines that require additional manpower & equipment
-
Any specialized equipment needed for the investigation
-
Rush cases, inclement weather and holiday hours
Court-appointed Investigations:
Engagement and flat fees are waived in court cases where the judge has approved a court-appointed Private Investigator. In those instances we work at the Court-approved hourly rate. In some cases, your attorney can request that you be reimbursed for our fees by the person or entity we investigated. This request is sometimes granted since the other party is found guilty of wrongdoing or negligent in their responsibilities. Consult your attorney regarding reimbursement of investigative fees.
