The Do It Yourself Detective

Home page
Welcome to the Do it yourself detective website.
This website was created due to an overwhelming response by real people who needed help but could not pay for a professional investigator.
As professional investigators ourselves, with thirty years of collective experience, we want to help.
There are private investigators that charge from eighty to one hundred fifty dollars an hour or more. An average investigation can easily cost several thousand dollars. Don't misunderstand, we have made a full time living doing investigations. We are not suggesting that you don't use the services of a lawfully licensed private investigator. We are saying that there are a lot of people who need help, serious help and can not get help because they can not afford it.
There is an alternative. 
This website, thedoityourselfdetective.com is for you!!
So, sit back, look at the information that is offered. Use it to do what you can to help yourself with your problem. If you need a specific question answered, ask it on our question and answer page.
We will do our best to give you the best advice we can. Over the years we have seen most every situation that could be dealt with. We have done everything from asset searches to homicides, custody cases to missing persons.
After looking at this website and asking a specific set of questions, it might be decided that your only option is to hire a private investigator.
