How Do You Differ From Other Private Investigators?

Magnum Investigations is not your typical one-man private detective operation. Our agency is a video/photographic surveillance specialist with a staff that only works on Domestic Cases including Child Custody Investigations, Cheating/Infidelity Investigations, and Alimony/Co-habitation Investigations covering all counties within New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Our competitors think that being “Diverse” is the key to success in poor economic times and therefore they will literally handle any type of investigation they can possibly find (i.e. Interviews, Accident Investigations, Employment Background Checks, Cheating, etc.); Magnum, on the other hand, is not a diverse agency; we only specialize in Domestic Investigations (Cheating, Child Custody, and Alimony).

Day in and day out, these are the only types of investigations we handle and for that reason, we have more experience in handling such cases than any other company in the industry. When you can’t afford for your spouse, partner, or ex-spouse to learn that you hired an investigator to follow him/her then you better hire the best surveillance expert in the industry – Magnum – or you will live to regret it.

Most one-man P.I. companies will outsource your work to other investigation companies without your knowledge. Because of the lack of man-power, they can only handle one job at a time and if your job conflicts with their schedule they will subcontract it to another company. At Magnum we handle every single job in-house; we never subcontract any of our jobs.

Virtually every detective company in NJ & PA are one-man operations without any employees and when they attempt to follow someone alone they will most certainly get caught.

Our agency has a small staff and we always utilize teams of investigators when we follow someone drastically minimizing any chance of getting caught. No matter how good an investigator is and how much he tries to convince you that he does it all of the time, common-sense will tell you that if one investigator tries to follow your spouse it will only be a few miles or a couple of hours before your spouse recognizes that same vehicle “tailing” him/her. Magnum utilizes multiple vehicles and investigators at the same time, therefore, it makes it virtually impossible for your spouse to ever know we were there.

IMPORTANT: There are many companies offering Investigative Services who are NOT Licensed Investigators and are therefore operating illegally. Therefore be careful and demand that the company provide you with their License Number and then verify it through New Jersey at (609) 633-9352 or New York at (212) 417-5800; in PA you must contact the Clerk of Courts in the County where the company claims to be located.
