CWPI's pricing is conservative within the industry and based on the client.
Investigations : Hourly Investigator charges are based on the clients ability to pay, with a two hour minimum. After the minimum we charge by the minute. We don't charge in ten-minute or thirty minute increments rounding up. This saves the client money. We also limit this cost by recommending ways the client can assist in the investigation thereby lowering the investigative time. Recognizing that in some cases, people in need of
our services cannot financially afford the services of a Private
Investigator, we have done the work for mileage and expenses only, but
there must be a proven need. Expenses are charged at cost plus 20%. Phone calls to or from the client are not charged.
BECAUSE WE DO NOT ACCEPT EVERY CASE, WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR THE INITIAL CONSULTATION. All investigative cases require a contract. This contract defines the parameters of the case and the client is able to limit the cost of the investigation in writing BEFORE the investigation begins. This protects the client. In the event that an investigation goes over that limit, and pre-approval of excess time or expenses from the client is not obtained, then the client is not required to pay the overage. We also have the ability to work on contingency basis, depending on the case.
Bail Enforcement By Contract
Process Service: $75.00 is the base charge, but this may be different due to the differences and difficulties of the case. At CWPI we believe OPEN AND EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION from the first contact with us is paramount to a successful investigative partnership.
