[QUOTE=sc_rufctr;7433737]It's a bit like hiring a lawyer. You'll know they're "right" for you when you meet him or her.

IME... The most competent PIs are women. I know this is a very general comment but I really think it's true.

For various reasons over the years I've hired PIs on 4 different occasions.

The first time was over ten years ago when I hired and very "Ditsy" looking blond to follow my ex interstate.
She was based in the other state and I never saw what she looked like until she had delivered the info.

This suggestion makes good sense. Who would suspect a woman of being a PI?
Good luck Mike!
