Every surveillance case is unique to itself, in which the investigation is tailored to determine answers to the client’s questions. In the Houston area, cost varies from $85 to $120 per hour.

Gradoni & Associates Investigates The Infidelity

A Real Surprise

We were hired to surveil the wife in order to identify her boyfriend. During the course of 10 different evenings of surveillance we found our wayward mom visiting motels and restaurants with different males each occasion. We finally deduced that our mom was on a sex for hire dating site, earning a little extra money in order to support herself when she became a single mom. Obviously the information we developed ensured that our dad got custody of his children.

Result of Investigation: Dad got custody of the kids!
