My case involves Montana as well as Powell. Can that be included?
Yes. Licensing and recording laws differ between states, so each part of the work is coordinated with a detective licensed where it takes place, under one point of contact.
What should I know before hiring a private detective in Park County?
Most records that matter in Park 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.
