My case involves Missouri as well as Lansing. Can that be included?

What should I know before hiring a private detective in Leavenworth County?
Most records that matter in Leavenworth 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.

Can an investigation in Lansing extend to Leavenworth or Basehor?
Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Lansing can continue in nearby communities such as Leavenworth, Basehor, Fairmount Township, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
What affects the cost of an investigation in Lansing?
Cost depends on the type of work and how much field time it needs. Records research is often a flat fee; surveillance is usually billed hourly plus expenses such as mileage. You'll get a written estimate before work begins. See what a private detective costs.
