Don't get reeled in by those guys who offer a cheap hourly rate then go out and hire another Investigator to work your case as a subcontractor and pay them minimum wage. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, they have to be "cutting corners" somewhere in there investigations to make a profit. Don't let them cut corners on your case.

Warning signs of a cheating spouse/partner

If you are in a long-term relationship and you start to feel uneasy or suspicious about your partner's behavior, there may be something going on.

Below you will find some (but not all) of the "classic" signs of a cheater. This is only the opinion of the author and is not intended to provide legal advise. We are not attorneys and are not representing ourselves to be attorneys. If you need legal advise consult an Attorney at Law:

1. Change in appearance. If your partner suddenly starts to take more pride in his/her appearance. Perhaps he hated exercise and now is a regular at the gym. Did he/she hate clothes shopping but now buys all the latest trends?
    

2. Suspicious behaviour. Have you caught them in a lie? Are they acting strangely or are they shuffling papers about when you walk into the room?
    

3. Who's on the phone? Do they have telephone conversations with an unknown person? Do they get late night calls while you are sleeping? Do they receive calls from wrong numbers they the suddenly have to step out for an errand?
    

4. Who got the gift? Have you found receipts for presents you've never received?
    

5. Working late again? The "working late at the office" excuse starts to spring up more often.
    

6. Where have they been? Are they spending more time with their friends than with you? Are they hanging out more with their "single" friends then the "married" ones?
    

7. Are they being secretive? Are they sneaking around and being secretive. Do things just not add up?
    

8. Just have a "gut feeling"? 9 times out of 10 if you have a nagging doubt or suspicion about something then it is probably true. The problem is prooving it.

   ---

   What to do if you think your partner is cheating:

   1. The first thing to do is make sure your suspicions are justified. If they say they'll be somewhere find an excuse to call them there. Pretend you forgot to tell them something. If they are there then you know this time they were not lying. If they are not there you'll know the truth.
       

   2. Watch his/her friends' reactions when you discuss his/her working late or visiting them so often. If they find it hard to keep a straight face or obviously know something it is obvious. Try to make friends with his/her friends, if they are lying to you as well they will find it hard to keep it up.
       

   3. Hide their credit cards. If they need it, they'll ask you where it is and you can then ask what they intend to buy. If they act angry or suspicious then you know there is more to the story.

      If you are sure they are cheating then you have to ask yourself what you are going to do about it. You have three choices: Put up with it, walk away or hope that they will give up their lover and stay with you.

      If you are not sure or you simply want proof before you make this very difficult decision call Investigative Services of Oklahoma. We have experienced Investigators to "find out the facts" and get you the answers you are looking for.

      All we need to get started is your retainer, a signed Investigative Service Agreement and a completed Investigation Request Form.

      If you have any questions you may contact us by phone or email anytime and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

      What you should know when you decide to hire an Investigator

      A good Investigator by definition is one who is honest, capable and acts professionally. This could be one of the most important and valuable business relationships that you ever establish. Retaining an Investigator who is not capable of skillfully and honestly conducting the investigation for which he/she has been retained, could cost a client money, reputation, or worse.
      
      The following are a list of things you should do when deciding to hire an Investigator. This is only the opinion of the author and is not intended to provide legal advise. We are not attorneys and are not representing ourselves to be attorneys. If you need legal advise consult an Attorney at Law:

      1. Verify the License Status. We have listed the licensing authorities for each state (if they require a license) listed below. License information is public records and some licensing authorities will give you information on any complaints filed if you ask.
         
         Hickman & Associates is licensed by the State of Oklahoma with license number 99PIA2061. You may verify our status by contacting CLEET at (405) 425-2775.
          

      2. Verify Liability Insurance Coverage. Verify that they have a minimum of $500,000 in liability insurance coverage. The State of Oklahoma only requires the Investigator be bonded. A way to separate the full-time agencies from the "part-timers" is the amount of insurance coverage the agency carries. This is for your protection, so verify that a liability Insurance policy does exist. No legitimate investigative professional will object.
         
         Hickman & Associates carries $1,000,000 in liability insurance.
          

      3. Check Experience, Background and Reputation. Ask the Investigator about their experience in conducting the specific type of investigation for which you intend to retain his/her agency. Although he/she may be, in general, an excellent Investigator, he/she may not have expertise needed in your particular case.
         
         You can call the Better Business Bureau or State Attorney General's office to determine if the Investigator that you are considering hiring has any history of consumer complaints filed against their agency.
         
         Ask the Investigator to describe how he/she intends to handle your case. If they start hinting about "connections" in the police department or "sources" which is known as "gray-area whispering" then you should definitely not hire them. While a Investigator license may be an indicator of legal status, it is by no means a guarantee of character or competence.
          

      4. Interviews. While you probably have many questions for the Investigator, the Investigator should also have questions for you. Any ethical Investigator will want to make certain that your stated reasons for wanting to hire him/her are genuine, and that the results of the investigation will not be misused. The Investigators questions should not be viewed as an inconvenience, but as an indication that you are retaining an ethical Investigator.
          

      5. Investigative Fees: Investigators usually charge an hourly rate, plus reimbursement of expenses directly related to your case. These expenses might include airfare, hotel accommodations, mileage, vehicle rental, gasoline, telephone and cellular phone calls, tolls or payments to sources of information.
         
         If you have an Investigator who is offering a rate that is considerable below the normal for that area you should beware. Some Investigators will "reel you in" with a low hourly rate but they might be exaggerating the hours spent on your case or adding additional charges to your bill to make up the difference. They have to be "cutting corners" somewhere in order to stay in business. Sometimes it will save you money in the long run to pay a little more now and get a good Investigation then to save money in your upfront costs and get a mediocre or poor investigation.
          

      6. Get it in writing. After you have decided to hire an Investigator ask them to see a contract. If they do not have a contract or refuse to provide one to you then we suggest you end the conversation there. Any professional Investigative Agency will have a clearly written contract to protect themselves and you as their client as well.
