Private Investigators are licensed by the state to gather information and engage in surveillance. Private investigators understand what is permitted under state law. If the potential for legal proceedings exists, hiring a private investigator can help minimize your risk. People may be able to obtain information about someone on their own but would likely be unable to use the information because of how it was obtained. Not only does hiring a private investigator help minimize the risk of information being thrown out during legal procedures but in most cases, PIs are allowed to testify on your behalf. If negative information about your spouse is going to come out, it is usually beneficial to have a third party present the information—it will be less biased and more credible.

Private Investigators are also better at collecting information because of their training, experience, and their lack of emotional involvement. Many people who try to catch a cheating spouse or gather information about someone on their own, have a difficult time knowing what to look for or they become too upset while the process unfolds. There have been so many people who have wasted months of their time trying to figure out if their suspicions are correct but were unable to do so because they lack the investigative skills and tools which are needed.  People have a difficult time NOT confronting their their target before they discover the full extent of the betrayal that occurred. Professional investigators simply have the added advantage of knowing how to investigate someone in a more objective manner.

A major consideration when hiring a PI is the cost involved. Depending on where you live, hiring a PI can easily run into the thousands of dollars. And while there are always less expensive options available and given potential consequences involved, the additional expense may be worth every penny.

If you decide to hire a private investigator, always check to make sure that they are properly licensed and see if any complaints that have been filed with the proper State agency responsible for regulating private investigators.
