What should I know before hiring a private detective in Marion County?
Most records that matter in Marion County are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the county recorder or register of deeds. A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.
