The world of the Private Investigator is intriguing and fascinating, especially to people not involved in it on a daily basis.  Books, radio, television and movies have all depicted the PI as a handsome and fearless man or a smart and sexy woman doing whatever it takes to serve their clients.  Always a lot of gunfire, travel to exotic destinations, and briefcases filled with cash.

Your Private Investigator is really about "Information".  They seek information, gather information, verify information and provide information.  There may be some travel.  Hopefully, no guns are involved (but we should know what to do when confronted).  And we all like to get paid for our work.

A PI worth his or her fee is someone who excels in the business of information.  You hire a PI to seek, gather, verify and provide this information because your google search or the personal stalking of your husband's suspected lover is simply not enough.  The information is too valuable to be left to amateurs - you need a trained professional with credentials and a proven background, and with knowledge of the tools required to successfully seek, gather, verify and provide.  Some of us are more experienced in business settings, criminal situations, foreign locations, or covert operations.  Just ask and learn more about what your PI can do for you and the information you need.
