Why should I hire your company over other companies?
We are extremely skilled at what we do. The owner is a published author in the area of surveillance and clandestine operations. Many investigative skills, especially surveillance, requires extensive practice to master. Our skills have been developed and refined over several years. We demonstrated our expertise in the most challenging assignments while working at several state, federal and local law enforcement agencies. We have attended numerous classes for advanced surveillance techniques.
Many of our competitors claim to be surveillance or infidelity experts. However, in reality they are feeling their way through their cases at the expense of their customers. Many do not have the hands on experience necessary to conduct successful investigations. To boost their image and compensate for their lack of investigative expertise, many claim that police and military investigative experience is non-transferable to private investigations. However, in reality there are few jobs that can test investigators' surveillance skills more than law enforcement and military surveillance assignments.
The company is committed to quality customer service. We pride ourselves in treating our customers like family. We understand the emotional strain that many of our customer experience. We work hard to make the customer experience positive, and most importantly, stress free.
Our customers are very important to us. The agency is extremely sensitive to the needs of our clients.
We are a small company with a big heart. When you hire Global, you mobilize the investigative talent that has been accumulated over several decades. We do not farm out work to interns, unskilled or untrained employees.
We hold our cases in the strictest confidence. We do not discuss our cases with anyone outside the investigation.
Is bigger better?
Many companies claim that their mere size makes them the best. It is not size of staff or the size of the office that matters. What matters most is the level of investigative skills and the level of committment of the investigators. Bigger offices can translate into bigger fees for you the consumer. In reality, most successful investigators spend the majority of their time in the field.
What can I expect from Global?
Plain and simple you can expect the truth. We are up front with you about our capabilities. We won't claim to be something that we are not. We know that we are the best at what we do. We are the best because we care about people. Domestic investigations are very personal; therefore, we handle our investigations with a level of care and committment that is rarely found in our industry.
We are dedicated to finding the truth for you. Remember our goal is to "Facilitate Peace of Mind Across the Globe."

What is a retainer fee?
A retainer fee is a deposit given to private detective agency to reserve a date to begin working on your case.
How much is your retainer fee?
The retainer fee is $1000-$1,500 for private citizens. The corporate rate varies based on the complexity of the case.
Should I hire a company that offers me the lowest hourly rates and lowest retainer fee?
That is a personal choice. However, rest assured that most companies are aware of standard billing fees in the industry. Therefore, some companies have a tendency to lure customers in and then make up the price difference at your expense. In order to recover their expenses, they will drag out your case until they can recoup their labor costs. According to customers that we have interviewed, this tactic adds enormous amount of stress to an already stressful situation.
In some cases, newly formed companies are likely to offer low rates to initially attract customers. These companies might hire interns to work on your case. This may lower their operating expenses.

Why is establishing the credibility of friends, employees and business partners important?

Do not let this happen to you. GIMS is committed to providing you with services that will ensure your peace of mind.
