Investigation Pricing
At NBI, we understand that choosing a private investigator can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure of the potential costs.
How Our Pricing Works
1. Case Complexity
More complex cases—such as criminal defense, fraud, or missing persons—may require deeper analysis, extended research, and multiple investigative steps.
2. Time & Resources Needed
Surveillance hours, travel time, specialized equipment, and database access fees all contribute to total cost.
Urgency & Deadlines
Fast turnaround requirements, immediate field deployment, and tight court or filing deadlines directly impact the scope and cost of an investigation.

At NBI, we believe in transparency and honesty from the start. While every case is unique, we provide clear cost estimates before any investigation begins so you always know what to expect.
