What is the general cost of hiring a private investigator?
The general cost of hiring a private investigator for a domestic case can range anywhere from $55.00-$85.00 an hour plus cost of mileage which is usually .50 cents to .75 cents a mile. Most investigators require anywhere from a $1500.00 to $2500.00 retainer to work the hourly rate and mileage off of. If you generally find an investigator cheaper than this be careful this may raise a red flag. Lots of people that illegally do investigations work lower the going rate in order to obtain business illegally.
