Any communications, oral or written, furnished by a professional or client to a licensee, or any information secured in connection with an assignment for a client, is considered privileged with the same authority and dignity as are other privileged communications recognized by the courts of this state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suspension, revocation, or other action against a licensee shall be accompanied by notice and an opportunity for a hearing under the administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.201 to 24.328.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Michigan serves as a good example of strong PI confidentiality, but each state is unique. Unlike Michigan, many states do not offer protection of investigative files or reports from a valid subpoena. In such states like Texas, Florida, Illinois and California, if we are served with a valid subpoena for records, your file will likely have to be turned over to the requesting party. This holds true for both civil and criminal subpoenas in most jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subpoenas aside, a private investigator has a duty to keep your information and investigation strictly confidential. One frustration of that we as private investigators have is that confidentiality and our clients&#8217; requirements for discretion make it hard to publicize our frequent successes, but we understand that without that confidentiality, we could not serve our clients effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example of Federal case law on the extension of the attorney client privilege to a non-attorney as used by private investigators to protect their work product may also be enlightening.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contact Us PI Confidentiality: Not only do you have our assurance that your case is completely confidential, you have&nbsp;The&nbsp;Law&nbsp;to back it up!
