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.

Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Buffalo and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.
Can an investigation in Harris Hill extend to Williamsville or Clarence?
Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Harris Hill can continue in nearby communities such as Williamsville, Clarence, Depew, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
Can a private detective find someone who left Harris Hill on Interstate 90?
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.
