Is a written contract required for PI services?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only for services over $500

  4. Only for governmental agencies

The correct answer is: Yes

It is important to have a written contract for PI services, as it outlines the terms and conditions agreed upon by both the client and the private investigator. This protects both parties and ensures that all expectations and obligations are clear. Option B is incorrect because a written contract is always recommended, even if it may not be legally required. Option C is incorrect because the amount of money involved does not determine the necessity of a contract in this scenario. Option D is incorrect because a written contract is not only necessary for governmental agencies, but for all types of clients seeking private investigation services.
