Anyone hire a PI before? how much to find someone?
 

2k?
5k?

depends on factors i guess? i am guessing they have access to databases i dont?

That's a pretty open question. I would say from 10 minutes to never. This is particularly true if you are looking for a woman. Let's say a woman moves into a house with a guy. Utilities are in his name, she drives a car registered to him, she uses his cell phone plan, etc.

.

ah yes....maybe i need to think about my google searches more carefully i might be able to find this person myself
its a guy...nothing nefarious

Do a google search on 'skip trace' or 'skip tracer'. Good luck.

5k at least, they can look up phone records, etc that you may not have access to, follow a car, etc. The best ones do family law, so find the best family lawyer (from a dad you know who got any custody or a mom who took everything) and ask the lawyer who they work with.

Do it your self, It will take you anywhere from 2 to 4 hours depending on how much basic info you all ready have. then either use webdetective.net or ussearch.com those are pretty good.

Check ICQ... I'm friends with a damn good PI

you looking for a date ?:1orglaugh

Simple answer - Dont use a regular PI, use a physic one... Much simpler...
