Case consultation
Thirty minutes to hear the situation and give you a realistic scope, cost and likelihood.
Time stamped video, written field reports and testimony if it is needed. Work gathered improperly is worse than no work at all.
Every case begins with a consultation where we tell you honestly what surveillance can and cannot establish.

Sable Ridge is licensed by the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board and carries liability insurance. Our investigators came out of law enforcement and insurance special investigations units. We work heavily with attorneys, which shapes how we document everything: if it cannot be entered into evidence or defended in a deposition, it does not go in the report.
“The surveillance log and video were the cleanest I have received in twenty years of family law. Opposing counsel did not challenge a frame of it.”
Marissa Cole, Family law attorney
“They told me up front that two of the three things I wanted were not legally obtainable. I appreciated that more than a sales pitch.”
J. Ramirez, Domestic case
Surveillance runs ninety five dollars per hour plus mileage, billed against a retainer that typically starts around fifteen hundred dollars. Background checks and locates are flat fee. We give you a written scope and estimated hours before starting and we account for every hour spent.
Yes, when it is gathered correctly. We surveil only from places where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, we do not enter property, tap phones, install trackers on vehicles we lack authority to touch, or pull protected financial and phone records. Evidence obtained improperly gets excluded and can expose the client.
Our work is discreet and the large majority of cases conclude without the subject knowing. Total certainty is not something an honest investigator promises. We discuss the risk before starting and adjust methods when a subject is unusually alert or the environment is difficult.
Background checks and locates usually come back in two to five business days. Surveillance depends entirely on the subject's pattern, and useful results typically require several sessions across different days and times. A single four hour block rarely proves anything, and we say so rather than take the money.
Calls and emails are confidential. We will tell you what is realistically achievable before you spend anything.
