I will tell you a few things I know as a former PI in Kansas. First let me start with how I came to be one. I answered a Craigslist’s ad looking for process servers. Initially all I intended to do was work for an existing PI. He insisted I get my license. I had no prior experience at all...but the job seemed exciting and it was very easy to get licensed. I had to take a relatively easy test, get fingerprinted, get a photo, and just like that I’m a PI. This was back in 2010-2011. There we’re cases that I was definitely in over my head. The PI I worked for did not train me. In fact he didn’t even live in KS. As time went on, I realized that it was illegal for him to take cases and contract them to me. Although at one time he held his license in KS. It had been revoked. He was being sued by different people and eventually I received phone calls from authorities asking my involvement. Clearly I quit working for him as soon as I realized what was going on. Sorry to ramble, I guess a couple points here to be made. You absolutely have to be licensed in the state you are conducting business. Be careful who you hire. You may end up with someone like myself, who thought I would get help, but didn’t. I did the best I could, but honestly those people deserved better. And lastly, the “PI” who hired me, lied to me, put me and my family in danger of me getting in trouble legally ( I really was naive) and continued to take cases after repeatedly being warned not to, was Don Branda.
