How long is it going to take to catch the person/party of interest?

The private investigator that you get your consultation with will be able to narrow the timeline down for you and give you an estimated cost. We employ the top investigators and have many years of experience in the field, as we have been operating since 1992. We work at top speed and efficiency with the goal of closing the case as fast as possible.

If you catch my husband/wife/partner with someone else, will you call me right away and let me know where they are?

Absolutely not, in any case. It jeopardizes everyone involved, as well as the case, itself. At Kay and Associates we believe that these are delicate matters and require ultimate discretion and safety first. We report all information back to the client, and do so in a manner that supports the client, especially considering the emotions involved.

How do I choose the right private investigator?

Check their years in business as an actual private investigator , not the combined time of the investigators in their office. Many investigators will try to mislead their clients in their advertising by combining all total years of investigators in the office. So, if they add up the years of experience from 8 investigators in their office they will say “40 years of experience!” But that is incredibly misleading. Choose an investigator that has been in business for many years and whose license reflects that. How can you tell how many years they have been licensed? Look at their private investigator state license number; the lower the number, the longer the time they’ve been in business for themselves. Also, never hire an investigations company that is not owned by a licensed investigator. Many online investigative services are merely brokers, subcontracting cases to PI’s with less experience. Such practices are dangerous to the confidentiality of your case. Another drawback of this situation is that you are not likely getting the most qualified investigator and your money is not being well-spent.

What are some things to look for in a spouse that I believe is cheating?

There are tell-tale signs such as changing behavior in the bedroom…less sex, less interest in sex… Although sometimes the exact opposite happens, where all of the sudden a partner is overly-sexual, doing lots of new “tricks,” and getting wild in ways that are ‘out of character.’ There are also signs such as the partner never letting their phone out of their site, taking it into the bathroom with them even when they are taking a shower. Also, be aware if they are spending a lot more time on Instagram or Facebook or messaging apps than usual. If late night texts are coming in and the partner is overly protective of anyone looking at their phone, this is something to take note of. Is the partner working continuously late hours at the office and hitting up more happy hours than usual? We recommend looking at actions like these. We could give you statistics on the likelihood of infidelity, but in our many years of experience, here’s what we have found to be true: based on our cases, when a woman believes her mate to be unfaithful, she is correct about 92% of the time. The men are correct nearly 48% of the time. This is SIMPLY data from our cases and experience at K&A.

How do I know my case and inquiries will remain confidential?

We have the highest standards of professional behavior and employ discreet tactics that protect anyone using our services. Our clients range from celebrities, to Fortune 500 Companies, to simple domestic cases, and are all treated with the same respect and courtesy.

How do you work, as a private investigations company?

We may employ multiple investigative specialists and techniques. Each and every case is different and calls for unique approach, which is why we are creative thinkers at Kay and Associates. We adapt according to the client’s needs and the needs of the case. We stay in close contact with our clients throughout each step of the way and never charge for something that was not discussed. K&A works hard to provide clients with all possible options to approach problems and solutions. Our goal is to resolve the case as quickly, thoroughly, and inexpensive as possible.

How much does an investigation cost?

First, I recommend you book a free consultation with us, which can easily be done on our services page, or by calling in. In general, we tell our clients that because each case is so individual, depending on the amount of hours logged, the driving mileage, and the way in which the case develops, it varies. However, each case is given a ballpark figure and we work with the client each step along the way.
