Experience and approach
Before the initial consultation
Prepare a concise timeline, the names or organizations involved, available documents or communications, relevant locations, time-sensitive concerns, and the specific question you need the investigation to address. Do not obtain records or account access unlawfully.
01
Scope, cost, and timing
Investigation cost and timing depend on the objective, complexity, location, available information, required methods, and changing circumstances. A responsible scope identifies what work is authorized and avoids promising a universal price, completion date, or result.
02
Evidence and documentation
The usefulness of findings depends on accurate collection and documentation. If information may be used in litigation, clients should involve counsel early so the investigative plan can account for relevant legal and procedural requirements.
03
Professional and legal limitations
A private investigator cannot guarantee a discovery, impersonate law enforcement, access accounts without authorization, or provide legal advice. The consultation should identify lawful options, practical limitations, and when an attorney or another specialist may be needed.

Private Investigation FAQs
01Is a consultation with a female private investigator confidential?
ATB Investigations treats consultation information discreetly and requests only information relevant to evaluating the matter. Specific questions about legal privilege should be discussed with qualified counsel.
02What types of matters can a female investigator handle?
Depending on the facts and lawful scope, work may include surveillance, background research, family-related fact gathering, fraud inquiries, online research, locate investigations, and digital-evidence matters.
03Can I be guaranteed that a female investigator handles every task?
Anita Blaum provides the primary client contact. Assignment details depend on scope, safety, location, required expertise, and availability and should be confirmed during consultation.
04What should I prepare for the initial consultation?
Prepare a concise timeline, relevant names, available documents or communications, and the specific question you need the investigation to address. Do not obtain information unlawfully.
05Can a private investigator provide legal advice?
No. An investigator can collect and document facts within an authorized scope but does not replace an attorney or provide legal strategy.
06How much does a private investigation cost?
Cost depends on scope, time, location, required methods, and complexity. ATB Investigations reviews the objective before discussing an appropriate scope and fee arrangement.
07How long does an investigation take?
Timing varies with the objective, availability of records or subjects, and changing case circumstances. No responsible investigator can promise a universal completion time.
08Can a private investigator guarantee results?
No. An investigator can pursue an agreed lawful scope and document findings but cannot guarantee that evidence will confirm a belief or produce a desired outcome.
09How can I verify a private investigator’s license?
Ask for the investigator’s license number and verify it with the appropriate state licensing authority. ATB Investigations identifies its California private investigator license as PI #24646.
10Can investigation findings be used in court?
Investigation findings may assist counsel or a legal matter when collected and documented appropriately, but admissibility is decided under applicable law and court rules. Coordinate with your attorney before work begins.
