bpi-admin • Dec 21, 2017

There is rarely a circumstance when calling a private investigative firm means that things are going well in your life. Unfortunately, it often means that something potentially terrible is happening with your spouse, your children or your personal assets and identity. In a desperate attempt to find out the truth, you pick up the phone and call an agency. But what do you say? How does this process work? What does a Charlotte private investigator actually do and how can they help you find out the truth about your situation?

Leading Charlotte Private Investigators

First, we have to get the movie scene perception out of our heads where there is a guy in a black sedan, snooping around your house or your husband’s office; picking his teeth and eating bags and bags of fast food. He calls to meet you at a questionable motel parking lot and in exchange for some terrible secret he found out you now have to pay him in cold hard cash.  That is not what a professional PI service does at all.

A professional firm starts with you. At Barefoot Professional Investigations, we start by developing a trusted relationship where your information, your story, your life is confidential and secure. Through our intake process, we ask you select questions that are relevant to your concerns and finding out the truth. Then through that discovery, we put together a concise plan with actual timelines and a budget so you know the value of the information that you are paying for. We are committed to delivering prompt and discreet information gathering of the utmost quality.
