This site is different that the one used to check a contractor's license. If the license number you've been given isn't coming up on that site, I'd venture to say it's not real.
thanks. my slow ass connection is attempting. actually, the site i was on you just punch in name to bring up the license. his name brought up squat. well it brought up someone in another state with a different middle name. not sure now where i was looking. will have go regoogle.

It's difficult searching by name since there could be quiet a few the same. That's why I always like to go by the number. There's only one of those. Hope you find out if he's legit before working with him.

oh thank you. no, there was only one of that name that came up but it wasn't his. i guess my question became pointless when i read the googled part about no experience is actually needed. i don't intend to work with him but given he claims to be a PI, it is interesting that in the group he hangs out with he contributes zero of actual PI knowledge/involvement. And there are plenty of things that could be done requiring an actual skilled, accomplished PI.

^^ I get that. Like someone who claims to be a member of a highly popular rock band but all they really do it load and unload the instruments in the bus. People can claim to be anything they want without actual training but I think (not sure) anyone licensed has to complete a number of steps and have some hands on experience (in hours) before getting that license. You're better off hiring a licensed PI for something important. They have sources available to them that you and I don't. Hope you find the information you're looking for.
