Frequently asked questions
What you want to know before you call us
- Is it legal to hire a private detective?
- Yes. Licensed detective agencies operate under the law of 18 May 2024 regulating private investigation and are licensed by the FPS Interior. We assess in advance whether your request has a legitimate interest.
- What does an investigation cost?
- The hourly rate is determined in advance and transparently, based on the assignment. Additional costs are discussed in advance, so you always receive a clear and detailed invoice.
- Does the final report have evidentiary value in court?
- Yes. The report of a licensed detective is well received by most judges and can heavily weigh in civil proceedings, for example in divorce, alimony or employment disputes.
- How discreet is the investigation?
- Completely discreet. The subject learns nothing, and nobody in your environment notices anything. You communicate with one dedicated contact, via the channel you prefer.
- How does establishing adultery work?
- We verify whether the suspicion is justified: where, when and with whom. You receive a report with all relevant evidence. The factual finding in non-publicly accessible places is carried out in consultation with you by a bailiff.
- Can I have a non-compete clause checked?
- Yes. When an employee or their company violates the non-compete clause, we help you gather legally valid evidence, if desired in consultation with your lawyer.
