There are many ways that a PI can help their clients within the means of the law. This includes locating lost loved ones or finding someone who has skipped bail, investigating infidelity or fraud, uncovering hidden assets, monitoring workplace theft or harassment, investigating fraudulent claims or online scams, completing background checks, performing surveillance, using skip tracing, plus a range of other investigative and research based services that are legally permitted in Ontario. What a PI cannot do is wiretap a phone, trespass on private property, impersonate an officer or arrest an individual.

The more information you can provide us with, the easier it will be for us to do our job and get you the proof you need. Before you arrive for the consultation, make notes of everything that you know.

In the event that you are working with an attorney, you should also notify the private investigator of their name and contact number.

Although we have a very high success rate (one of the highest in the industry) we cannot guarantee that there will be evidence available for your particular case.
