Any investigator that guarantees the answer to this question being "yes", is willing to resort to obtaining results in a unethical and illegal manner. If such actions are acted upon, you are held liable as much as the investigator is. One of our companies' morals that we abide to is "the keyword trust, cannot be too highly emphasized". Thus, our answer to this question is we will work towards satisfactory results and if not obtained we'll proclaim services free of charge, within limitations. Satisfaction is our companies priority.
