You are hiring people that are in a business that is feast or famine. If you get a guy that has come off a long famine, he might milk you for all you have. Ask him how much electronics he has, a guy that can do the job well should have every new device on the market. It is cheaper to have a guy set up electronics equipment to watch a place than it is to have a guy sit there for hours burning your money up.
Amazing. Just amazing what people will post about things they don't seem to have a clue about.
I have worked with a variety of PIs over the years, many of them well regarded in the industry. I have represented PIs and their companies in a number of cases.
I have never paid anywhere near $400 an hour, even for the very best of them. I have never chosen one by the electronics he owns.
IF you want to drop me a pm indicating what kind of job you want the PI for, and what part of the province you are in, I am happy to give you some ideas and tips. If you just want a generic reccomendation King Reed works all over the province and country and is used by hundreds of law firms and most of the major insurers.
Whoops- they have apparently changed their name now I look at their website, but it is still the same company.

Maybe he's worked with PIs farmed out by law firms charging Bay St. rates....
I can recommend MKD International. Good guys and reasonable rates.
I have not looked into it lately but there are limits, very strict limits, on how law firms can bill out disbursements in Ontario.
Perhaps Doot will come back and tell us how he came to that number. I don't find it the least bit credible.
