Choosing the right private investigator matters – the wrong choice can mean wasted money, unusable evidence, or worse, a case handled by someone unlicensed and unaccountable. Eye Spy Detective Agency has served Michigan clients for over 30 years, and here’s what actually sets a real investigation firm apart from the rest. Call (888) 393-7799 to talk to a real investigator, not a voicemail.
What to Look for When Hiring a Michigan Private Investigator
Not every PI operates the same way, and the differences matter more than people expect going in. Here’s what to check before you hire anyone:
A real, secure office. Some firms operate out of an apartment or ask to meet at a coffee shop or parking lot – not exactly confidential, and not somewhere you want your case file sitting around. Eye Spy’s office is protected with vaults, alarm systems, access controls, and encryption.
Someone who actually answers the phone. If a firm sends you to voicemail before you’ve even hired them, that’s a preview of what working with them will be like. Eye Spy answers calls live, 24/7 – no answering service, no waiting around.
More than one investigator. A “one-man” operation has real limits on surveillance and undercover work, where multiple people with different backgrounds matter. Eye Spy has a full team of investigators on staff.
Current equipment. Surveillance technology changes constantly, and outdated equipment shows up in outdated results. Eye Spy invests in current gear and can show you exactly what we use.
Real legal and medical resources. Eye Spy has a legal department with attorneys on staff and a medical investigator who is a licensed physician (M.D.) with law enforcement experience – both at our Fraser office, available when a case calls for that level of expertise.
A track record you can verify. Eye Spy has over 120 reviews across Google, Facebook, and the BBB – read them yourself rather than taking any firm’s word for it.
