  difference between a successful outcome and
  failure. Also, make sure you are prepared for the
  truth, the good news and the bad news.

  compile a list of prospective candidates.

  to work on looking into each one so that you may
  find a trustworthy and qualified private
  investigator. Here are some things to look for
  when doing your research

• Have expertise in your area of need/have handled
  similar cases
• Make sure once you have made your choice that you
  feel comfortable with the PI you have chosen. If
  you feel that communication is lacking or that
  he/she is pressuring you in any way then you may
  want to keep looking.
• After your initial consultation, he/she should be
  able to outline anticipated costs if you choose
  to follow through make sure that you get a
  contract with all fees and expectations of both
  parties clearly stated.
• Finding the right private investigator can be
  frustrating following the above simple
  guidelines, using common sense, trusting your
  instincts, and doing the research instead of just
  picking a name out of a list will ultimately
  bring you to the right choice for your needs.
