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

Often. Locate work combines records research with field verification, wherever the trail leads. Moves along Interstate 90 and connecting highways are common, and investigations are coordinated across state lines with appropriately licensed detectives.
Can an investigation in Blasdell extend to Lackawanna or Town of Hamburg?

Can I record a phone call in New York?
