BEFORE YOU REACH OUT

A few common questions.

What happens during an initial consultation?

The first conversation helps define your concerns, the services that may be relevant, and an appropriate scope of work. Availability, fees, and the next steps are discussed before an assignment begins.

Can I discuss a sensitive personal matter?

Yes. Call the team directly to discuss the appropriate way to share sensitive information. Keep the initial website or email inquiry general, and do not include private evidence or identifying information about other people.

Do you work with businesses and residential communities?

Services cover commercial and retail environments, event venues, gated communities and HOAs, and private clients. The scope and staffing are tailored to the assignment.

How do I request credentials or insurance information?

Request licensing, insurance, and bonding documentation directly from the team before engaging services.
