I've dealt with a num­ber of P.I.s, pro­cess servers, and re­la­ted peo­ple in the past 7 years. I'm more than qualified to com­ment on this sector.

If you're an individual, and not a corporation, and you hire a P.I. who isn't a retired police officer, the odds are high that the P.I. is going to overcharge you, lie to you, or steal from you. If you ask ques­tions, the P.I. may threaten to sue you or to have you killed.

I've been through all of this. Amazingly, much of what the P.I.s have said to me is in wri­ting. Over time, I'm going to post their names, their State license num­bers, their false statements, their threats, and my assessments.

I'll include the FBI report that I filed on the P.I. who sug­gest­ed that he could have me killed.

I'll com­ment on good P.I.s as well as bad ones. There are a few good guys out there. Not like Magnum, P.I., but polite and trustworthy.

One take-away is that retired police officers might be a good bet. However, most of them prefer mundane cases. They're hoping for a quiet retirement. They aren't seek­ing Magnum, P.I. cases.

Here are the P.I.s covered to date. The total to be added over time is 6 to 12.
