No, and I know nothing about doing so.

I don't know how much help you'll get on here if you don't expand on the situation and give us the story. Research purposes of course.

I summered with a guy who used to do private investigation for ICBC. During the summer he'd end up on the golf course filming people teeing off who claim to be so injured they could not work.

I've used PI's for various purposes. Lots of fun.

But if you're trying to expose a fraud (which is a crime), consider reporting it to the police and let them handle it.

Yeah, but as soon as she dumped you, she hooked up with me.

I've hired them tons of times in a past life as the saying goes.

The job is not as glamorous as it sounds...think of how often they would be hanging around outside your house while you screwed around on CP! Not terribly exciting?!

Anyway....as a guy who has hired them a dozens of times, what do you want to know?

If I didn't know you were a lawyer, I'd assume you were a polygamist with a compound full of cheating wives.

I really wish I was a lawyer right now....although the alternative does sound a lot sexier!! (I'm a financial advisor)

So what the heck did you hire dozens of PIs for?
