What are the reasons for private investigators refusing service based on the nature of the investigation?

Over the past 43 years, we have declined to represent or perform services for corporations, insurance companies, attorneys and the public. The first one below may surprise you.

1.) The mental health of the client makes it prohibitive to engage or take a retainer. For example, someone calls and states that helicopters are watching them and someone has planted a monitoring device in their body. They have issues clouding their judgment but ours is crystal clear in not taking advantage.

2.) A high risk of personal danger.

3.) Involvement in illegal activities.

4.) Ethical concerns like violating a temporary restraining order.

The bottom line is that you don’t even get close to crossing the line. No case or livelihood is worth it.

How to Locate a Missing Person with Mental Illness

Finding a missing person with a mental illness requires both speed and expertise in dealing with people with mental disability. Speed, because mentally ill individuals require round the clock care and every hour they spend alone could mean they’d put themselves in danger. Expertise, because these complex cases don’t just require witness investigations. Experts must be savvy in dealing with authorities and accessing hospital records, shelters, group homes and abandoned buildings. It’s critical to hire a private investigator with experience in such cases. At Martin PI experts can help find your loved one even if they have gone completely off the grid.
