Often times potential clients will call with questions regarding a personal matter relating to a restraining order, court services and process service. I am often able to resolve those questions during our free consultation. Recently a client called who was a subject of a Temporary Domestic Violence Restraining Order, which precluded them from contact with their spouse and children. I explained to the client that Private Investigators are prohibited from engaging in any activity for any client who is the subject of any type of Restraining Order. I also was able to guide them to our local Superior Court and Family Law Facilitator’s Office for further free guidance and assistance. Since I am not an Attorney, I explain to potential clients that my advice is not “Legal Advice” but is instead based on my “Experience and Training”. Although I did not provide a paid service to this client, there were none the less pleased.
People’s privacy is paramount especially in today’s environment. When concerns regarding a potential and future employer’s background check come up, clients often are in search of past personal records. In a recent case, I was able to work within my national network and provide a client in one state information regarding an incident that occurred in another state when he was very young. This information was provided to the client who on his own was able to examine and evaluate that information which had appeared to be hindering his employment. The client was very pleased with the outcome and moved forward with his employment process.
When infidelity strikes a relationship it can be devastating for a couple. A client retained my services for a fidelity check on his spouse. Because of the sensitive nature of these types of Investigations it is often necessary to taylor them to the specific client need. I explain to each client that because of things that may occur in the “Heat of passion”, I will not disclose in real time anything that I am witnessing. I conducted a surveillance of the client’s spouse and discovered the spouse was indeed engaging in an extramarital offer. I was able to obtain video and photography of what I discovered during the Investigation. I later provided the client with a detailed written report along with the supporting evidence.
