What is a Private Investigator? A private investigator is a professional who investigates issues of a private or sensitive nature for a client. Private investigators typically charge clients in two ways: hourly fees and fixed sums. Hourly fees for private investigators typically cost between $50 and $75. However, some investigators may charge fixed sums reaching a few thousand dollars if they are given lengthy assignments. The work usually falls into one of two areas: corporate and personal. Corporate investigations are more common, with the PI looking for company fraud, theft of trade secrets, and other illegal activities. Personal investigations often deal with infidelity, divorce cases, missing persons, and insurance fraud. Private investigators typically report their findings directly to the person or company that hired them. In some cases they may be required to testify in court as an expert witness on the case they investigated.

They may be hired for a variety of reasons, but most often they will be hired to verify or disprove infidelity.
