Computer (Hard Drive) Forensics:
We use industry standard software and
hardware to analyze computer hard drives for legal evidence retrieval. All evidence is legally retrieved
by a licensed private investigator and
documented as such. Computer forensics can be extremely powerful,
compelling and
critical evidence.
The
flat fee to complete the analysis of a hard drive is $1250.
NOTE: Legal and thorough computer
forensics is a time consuming process, portions of which
(indexing files, for example) taking 40 to 80 hours at a time. The effort,
resources (specialized software & hardware) and
time involved in analyzing the several hundred thousand files
found on each hard drive is immense. The background/skills needed
are also just as specialized. There are only a handful of private
investigators that have the abilities and equipment to tackle this
sensitive work PROPERLY. Thus, the fee for this
service may initially appear to be a relatively large amount of money.
LEGAL/SAFETY NOTE: IMAGING (COPYING)
OF THE HARD DRIVES IN QUESTION MUST BE COMPLETED EITHER IN OUR
OFFICE/LAB OR AT THE VERY LEAST IN A SAFE,
NEUTRAL PLACE!
Cell Phone & Mobile Device
Forensics: [NO CHARGE for Initial Analysis]
We also use industry standard software and
hardware to analyze cell phones and mobile devices. All evidence is legally retrieved and
documented as such. Forensics from these devices can be extremely powerful,
compelling and
critical evidence.
The initial information we require is simply:
1) the
specific cell phone or mobile device's make/model and...
2) whether or not the device
uses/has a SIM card.
We will initially
analyze the
device/phone in question at NO CHARGE...
THEN, pricing ranges from $250
to $450, depending solely upon the quality and quantity of
evidence that
is
retrieved from the SIM card, specific phone or specific mobile device:
Basically, a $250 fee is charged for "logical" (current) information
from a SIM card, phone or device. A $450 fee is charged for
"logical" and "physical" (current AND deleted) information from a SIM
card, phone or device.
There are literally thousands of different models
of cell phones and mobile devices currently available. There are
hundreds more released on the market each year. Technology and data
structure varies greatly from model to model in this virtual ocean of
devices. The reason we analyze the devices for free, is because the
software capabilities change almost DAILY and we quite honestly do not
always know for sure whether our software/hardware will acquire data
from particular models or not - until we actually attempt forensics on
the specific device/phone.
LEGAL/SAFETY NOTE: CELL PHONE AND
MOBILE DEVICE FORENSICS MUST BE COMPLETED EITHER IN OUR OFFICE/LAB OR AT THE VERY LEAST IN A SAFE,
NEUTRAL PLACE!
Domestic & General Surveillance:
Option 1 - Assessment:
The initial retainer to begin an
investigation is $220
(which comes to 4 hours of surveillance).
"Assessment" is when the client knows almost nothing of the situation,
whether the subject is doing what is suspected, etc. If you have a
very limited budget OR we have talked to you over the phone and have come to the conclusion
that you basically just need to "see what is going on" with the subject's
behavior,
this is the retainer you need.
Option 2 - Standard:
The initial retainer to begin an
investigation is $825
(which comes to approximately 12 hours of surveillance
and 3 hours reserved for report/video).
"Standard" is when the client might actually know some of the movements of the subject,
is relatively sure the subject is actually doing what is suspected, etc.
If your attorney has told you to "get a PI and secure the evidence",
this is the retainer you need.
In any case, our rate charged against the
retainer is $55/hour.
Mileage is not charged
during any surveillance/case, UNLESS the surveillance moves outside a 45 mile
radius of the local area. A mileage rate of $0.45 per mile will be
charged to the client when/if this occurs. Normally this happens
when the subject is taking a trip out of town, etc.
GPS (Vehicle) Tracking:
This service is ONLY available in
the course of a legal, contracted investigation and for obvious
liability (and legal) concerns - is not available as a 'standalone'
service.
It is a 24/7 live tracking system accessed from our exclusive internet
web site.
Tracking the vehicle via GPS must also be
coupled with one of our retainers ($220/$825) - so that legitimate
surveillance by an investigator is available. GPS is a very powerful
tool that eliminates much of the 'guesswork', saves time and saves money
on the end. However, visible confirmation of the whereabouts of
the vehicle and subject are still absolutely essential.
$350/weekly flat rate fee
