Attorneys hire Private Investigators for a multitude of reasons. Contrary to popular belief, PI’s are not limited to hiding in cars and taking zoom photographs of less-than-truthful spouses. They can be immensely helpful to attorneys on a variety of cases. Below you will find the top three reasons attorneys hire Private Investigators.
1. Finding Hidden Information
Private Investigators are professionals at hunting down hard-to-find information. Using tools such as databases and skip-tracing, PI’s can track down witnesses and even interview them for the attorney. In turn, this saves the attorney valuable time when putting together a case.
2. Experience
Private Investigators are no stranger to the litigation process. Their skills make them useful in many types of cases. They can become a trusted partner in financial cases such as insurance fraud. Their ability to gather and analyze information can not only save an attorney time, but their ability to find the impossible can help bring a case together.
3. Surveillance
Finally, Private investigators are probably best known for their surveillance abilities. They are seasoned professionals at discreetly gathering information on people who are either trying not to be found or have something to hide. Because of this, attorneys find them useful when tracking down hard-to-find people and information.
Private investigators provide a slew of other services such as serving and even filing affidavits, contracts, and appeals. They can access records and databases for creating timelines. PI’s can recreate scenes to assist an attorney, and they can work with law enforcement to gather information.
