Frequently Asked Questions
How much do private investigation services cost?
Costs vary by case type, complexity, and duration. Surveillance typically starts at a competitive hourly rate, while background checks and document retrieval are often flat-fee. We provide a detailed quote during your free consultation — no hidden fees, no surprises.
Is hiring a private investigator legal in Florida?
Yes. Licensed private investigators in Florida operate under strict legal guidelines set by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. GLI Elite Intelligence is fully licensed (Class "C" Private Investigative Agency), insured, and all investigations are conducted within the bounds of the law.
How long does an investigation take?
Timelines vary by case. A standard background check may take 2–5 business days. Surveillance cases typically require 3–7 days of active monitoring. Complex corporate investigations or digital forensics cases may take 2–4 weeks. We set clear expectations during the strategy phase.
Will the subject know they are being investigated?
No. Discretion is our highest priority. Our investigators are trained in covert operations and use unmarked vehicles, concealed equipment, and proven counter-detection techniques. Your case and our involvement remain completely confidential.
Can your evidence be used in court?
Absolutely. All evidence is collected, documented, and preserved following chain-of-custody protocols that meet Florida court standards. Our investigators are experienced expert witnesses and can provide testimony to support your case.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. Every case begins with a free, confidential consultation. We discuss your situation, assess your needs, outline a proposed approach, and provide a transparent cost estimate — all with no obligation.
