 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Global for tracing of one particular subject person relating to fraudulent documents submitted to a goverment office by him, that effected a claim I had under UK law. Global stated the level of tracing and costing prior to me accepting their services. Global was transparent, no hidden fee's or costs and the timeline given, in my case there was a small time overrun only because of the level of detail, due diligence and further detail with their investigations in uncovering a fraud. I was overwhelmed with the report result with supporting evidence that was well worth the wait, you can't rush quality! There was so much compelling detail, that provided me with the evidence that I need to overturn such a fraudulent document. I would highly recommend Global Investigations Ltd to anybody in a similar situation. Global are most professional in all aspects of dealing with my case. They kept me updated prior to investigation completion with excellent communication. A most sincere thank you to Global's Team!

How much does it cost to hire a Private Investigator?

The cost of hiring a private investigator can vary significantly based on the investigation’s nature, complexity, and duration.

How do Private Detectives legally get background information?

The methods private detectives can use to gather background information depend largely on the case that is being worked on. For instance, some detectives specialise in certain types of cases, such as intellectual property theft, fraud investigations, matrimonial investigations, and corporate private investigator services, whereas others focus more on investigative services to law firms or working with law enforcement. If a corporate private investigation is being conducted to perform background checks on potential new employees at a company, private investigators have access to databases and public records to check the personal, financial, and criminal histories of the subjects in question.

How do Edinburgh Private Investigators legally conduct surveillance?

Private investigators are allowed to conduct surveillance in order to gather information. This may involve following someone, vehicle tracking, or setting up cameras to record their activities. If required, private investigators can also carry out covert surveillance, which is when they collect information without the person’s knowledge or consent.
