Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Mobile and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.
What should I know before hiring a private detective in Baldwin County?

A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.

Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Robertsdale can continue in nearby communities such as Loxley, Fairhope, Foley, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
