At TARGET INVESTIGATIONS we charge for our services according to the number of hours spent on a case, the number of miles driven, and for any expenses that are incurred. Expenses can include things such as computer records, video tape, or any out-of-pocket expenditures while in the field. Additional information on how we charge and bill for our services is provided below.

We charge for most of our services using an hourly rate that is rounded to the nearest quarter-hour increment. Some of the exceptions to this are; computer information searches; temporary equipment leases; court appearances; and some report writing fees. In these cases we have pre-set flat fees for each. We also charge a mileage rate for all field work which is calculated from our office located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Clients are always provided with a copy of our current Fee Schedule during their initial consultation.

The client will be responsible for any expenses incurred during an investigation. These may include but are not limited to; the cost of film and photo processing; parking fees; fees charged for receiving computer records; admission tickets; long-distance telephone charges; transcription; polygraph and forensic testing; and when specifically authorized long-range travel expenses, hotel accommodations and rental vehicles.

We require a deposit for services be collected in most cases prior to any services being rendered. Upon completion of our work any difference between the total charges incurred and the deposits made will be refunded to the client.

We accept cash, personal checks, bank checks and money orders, as well as all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express.
