Since experience in cases similar to yours can be an asset, search for references from other people in the area who've worked with SG private investigator before. You should also ask if they're affiliated with any professional organizations. There are detective organizations across the country, so call them and find out if your potential partner is a member. All of these questions point to good references and a history of getting things done. Finally, figure out who will be working on your case specifically. Many investigators are swamped with work and might throw your case to a partner or an apprentice working in town. That can be a sign that they do good work and are reputable, but you should still know who'll have their hands on your case. Who are they, what kind of experience do they have, and how much direct oversight will the person in charge have? It might take more than one interview for you to get someone whose answers you're comfortable with, but you should have a detailed picture of who your partner is and what terms you'll be working under — and you shouldn't make your hire until you're totally satisfied.
