How do the agreements, fees and expenses work?
Once a potential client requests to retain The Conley Group to provide an investigative service for them, there are two steps that must occur before we can provide services. The first step is to execute an agreement that basically contains a description of the services that The Conley Group will be providing for the client and what the costs will be for those services. This agreement helps protect both the client and The Conley Group. Once an agreement is signed, there is an initial retainer fee due by the client. The amount of the retainer fee is based on an estimate of what the investigative assignment will cost. Once these two steps are completed, The Conley Group will begin providing the agreed on investigative services for the client.
